Al 20 O'Clock the State Depository
Mr.. Miller explained that the bill was
designed To givo all the banks in the
State chance to handle the States
funds.
Mr.. Jones. Of the Finance Committee,
said that IL was mistaken idea that the
bill would help the country banks. The
gentleman from Lynchburg had said that
the Governor had power already to desig-
nate depositaries. He did not think any
one man should have this power.

State had no difficulty in getting her
money. What Would have been the con-
dition OF affairs II the States money Lad
been scattered all over the state?
Mr.. Maynard advocated the bill. The
country banks need not take the deposits
II they did not want them. He thought
the bill would do no harm.

IL IT had been in force during the late
