LIMITS CT BONDS EXCEEDED.
The action of Governor Holcomb in refus-
ing to approve the bonds of the four banks

be guessed ct. In order to place the gov
ernor's refusal before the people in diagram
form the following statement will serve:
BY the provisions OF the law under which
no depository is entitled to more than one
half of the amount of the bond given to secure
the state. the First National bank of Platts-
mouth would be entitled to $4,000 OF state
funds The treasurers report shows that it
held on the day its bond was approved by the
secretary OF state and attorney general Sll,-
