Upon the filing with a savings bank by the holder of records as shown by the books of the savings banks, or by his legal representative, of an affidavit to the effect that the account book, certificate or other evidence of ownership of his savings account with the savings bank has been lost or destroyed, and that such account book or certificate has not been pledged or assigned in whole or in part, such savings bank shall issue a new account book or certificate in the name of the holder of record.
