    § 29.  Branch  offices;  public  accommodation  offices;  approval  or
  refusal; certificate; investigation fee.  When  a  banking  organization
  seeks  to  open a branch office or public accommodation office, it shall
  submit a written application  to  the  superintendent.  The  application
  shall contain such information as the superintendent deems necessary. At
  the time of making such application, an investigation fee of six hundred
  fifty dollars shall be paid to the superintendent for each branch office
  or public accommodation office for which leave to open is sought. If the
  superintendent  finds  that  the  opening of the branch office or public
  accommodation office is consistent with the declaration  of  policy  set
  forth  in  section  ten  of  this  article  and that the applicant is in
  compliance with section twenty-eight-b of this article, he shall issue a
  certificate in triplicate under his hand and the official  seal  of  the
  department  authorizing the opening and occupation of such branch office
  or public accommodation office and specifying the date on or after which
  and the conditions under which it may be opened and the place  where  it
  shall  be located. The superintendent shall cause one of such triplicate
  certificates to be transmitted to the applicant, another to be filed  in
  the  office of the department and the third to be filed in the office of
  the clerk of the county in which the principal office of  the  applicant
  is located. If the superintendent shall not find that the opening of the
  branch or public accommodation office is consistent with the declaration
  of policy set forth in section ten of this article or that the applicant
  is  in  compliance with section twenty-eight-b of this article, he shall
  notify the applicant that the application has been denied.
    No investigation fee for branch applications shall be  collected  from
  applicants  if  such  branch  applications are filed in conjunction with
  proceedings under section one hundred thirty-six, three hundred  twelve,
  four  hundred  ten  or  subdivision eight of section six hundred five of
  this chapter.
    A safe deposit company shall not be required to pay a fee on making an
  application to open a branch.
