The County Money.

Under the present arrangement the
taxpayers of Washington county dc
not derive any benefit in way of inter-
est from the large amount of money
that is in the county treasury
1t occurs to us that an arrangement
might be made by which the county
funds could be deposited in some bank
and thereby yield a handsome sum an
nually.
The law provides that the County
Commissioners have power to enter
into a contract to this effect, and the
Leader thinks it voices the sentiment
of the people in saying that such ac-
ton should be taken. There is no rea-
son in the world why thousands and
thousands of dollars should lie idle in
the treasury vaults, when it might be
bringing coed returns to the county.
Even at one per cent the interest
would amount TO a good round sum,
and would be a great help to the tax
payers.
In order that the question may be
made plain we herewith publish the
law which governs this matter:
COUNTY DEPOSITORY ACTP.
Section (1136-D County depository
In each county where repositories are
not otherwise authorized by law, the
Commissioners thereof may designate
in the manner hereinafter provided,
bank situated in such county, and duly
incorporated under the laws of this
State, or of the United States as a de-
pository of the money of the county;
provided that in any county where no
such bank exists, that the Commits
sioners of said county may designate
any other bank located and doing bus
mess in the county
1l36-2) Notice for proposals from
banks; what tC contain)
When the Commissioners of any
county shall determine to provide
depository for the money Of such coun-
ty they shall publish in two newspap-
ers, published and CT general circula-
ton in the county, for two consecutive
weeks, "a notice, which shall invite |
sealed proposals from all banks COM
ing within the provisions of the pre-
ceding section, which proposal shall !
stipulate the rate of interest, not less |
than one per cent. per annum that will I
be paid for the use of the money of the |
county, as provided herein; and each
proposal shall contain the names of |
the sureties who will be offered upon
the undertaking of the bank, filing the
same in case the proposal is accepted.
