Section OF chapter % OF the Gen
| eral Laws provides that the general
treasurer with the advice of the gov
ernor, shall have full power To regulate
| the custody and safe keeping OF the
| fund now constituting the permanent
| fund for the support of the public
schools. and shall keep the same Sc
| curely invested in the capital stock of
| some safe and responsible bank or
banks, or in bonds of towns or cities
within the state.
In view of the fluctuations i'm value
| of the bank stocks i'm which the larger
portion of this fund is invested, both
the treasurer and myself have deter
mined To dispose of these stocks at the
earliest possible moment and hold the
proceeds for investment in such bonds
as the law permits.
| respectfully suggest that chapter 80
of the General Laws be So amended as
to include such gold bearing bonds of
cities and towns in New England as
are considered safe investments for
trusts and savings banks.
