stockholders of each constituent bank or savings association

approving it, certified by such bank's or savings association's

president or a vice-president and a secretary. The charters of the

and of the correctness of all proceedings therefor in all courts and

places, and may be recorded in any office for the recording of deeds

to evidence the new name in which the property of the constituent

banks or savings associations is held.
