IMPROVEMENTS
MADE IN PROPERTY
OWNED BY STATE

AS an appendix to this message there
is printed a table which shows the
amounts of money appropriated at the
last session for buildings and other
Improvements in connection with State
institutions; also the amounts expend-
ed from such appropriations to date
and the amounts expended from con-
tingent funds for the same general pur-
poses. The total of appropriations
made two years ago for betterments
was SS00,S00, and by adding to this
$76, 1862 21 of former appropriations un-
expended, the State had an aggregate
of appropriations for betterments equal
to $S77, ,162 Il to use during the bien-
MUM. OF this there has been actually
expended to date $6S5,742 81, to which
must be added the sum of $10S, 200 85,
which has been drawn from contingent
funds and used for betterments. This
makes an aggregate of $793, ,943 46 spent
for betterments in the last two calen-
dar years.
As the whole amount of appropria-
tions from all funds made at the last
session was S7,733. $40 73, the proportion
which went for actual improvements
was about 10 per cent. The expendi-
lures made have been highly beneficial
to many Of the institutions of the
State. At the San Diego Normal School

sibility of loss to the State and IL possible TO

In view of these opinions, and bear
ing in mind that such great States as
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts have pursued the deposit plan
for many years. receiving large sums
for- interest, and losing nothing even
when ba1afs have failed, it appears
that we ought, as soon as it can be

FUNDS OF STATE
SHOULD BE KEPT
IN CIRCULATION

The State of California pursues a
policy different from that of ma
jority of the States by keeping public
funds in its own vaults, thereby lock-
ing up large amount of money, in
stead of making deposits in the banks.
BY following the deposit plan the
money is permitted to circulate in the
channels of trade until needed to meet
claims against the treasury. The drain
of money at certain periods of the
year, when State, county and city gov
ernments are all collecting taxes, is
a heavy one, and it has long been a
cause of complaint in California that
at these times business is embarrassed
hy the large reduction in the circulatr
ing medium.
1t was step in the right direction
when the law was passed. some years
ago. making State and county taxes
PAYABLE in two installments instead OF
one. because this reduced the amount
of money locked UP at any one time;
but it would be an additional benefit
to the business community IL the
greater part of the funds belonging
to the State could at all times be kept
in the channels of trade. The pay
ment of taxes may be a. hardship upon
property owners under the most favor
able circumstances, but 1t becomes a.
needlessly grievous burden when 1t is
made the means of locking up so much
of the money which is the life of trade.
But this is not the only way in which
the boarding of funds is expensive to
the State, since the money represents
so much earning power lost; 1t could
be, and should be, made to turn into
the treasury annually quite a large
sum collected as interest. The balance
in the State Treasury, in ordinary
years, ranges from $2,500,000 to s7,000,-
900, and for the last five years has
averaged $4,000,000. The ordinary in
terest rate on daily balances paid by
the banks is two per cent, and on
$4.000,000 this would amount to $S0.000
a year-enough to sustain one of the
State institutions, or to reduce the an
nual tax rate nearly two-thirds OF
cent. If the money can be loaned
safely, and this interest earned, it
shows poor business judgment to go
on sacrificing so large sum.
As has been said before, California
is one of the smaller number of States
which keep their money in their own
vaults. OF the forty-eight States and
Territories, according to recent statis-
tics, thirty nine pursue the policy of
depositing their funds in bank, with
such precautions for safety as they
think will insure them against loss.
The history of the State deposit sys-
tenn shows that 1t has always been
safe when proper security has been
required by law. Banks receiving
State funds should be compelled to de-
post in the treasury securities-pre-
ferably United States. State, county
or municipal bonds-sufficient in
amount to guarantee the State against
the possibility of loss.
Several Treasurers OF this State have
pointed out the unwisdom of the
boarding policy. Hon. w. s. Greene,
in his report for 1899. said:
The San Francisco call., 1905-01-04

bly, hall of the Mendocino State Hospi-
tai Is partially finished and at the
Stockton, Agnews and Napa hospitals
more or less extensive improvements
have been made: for the Home for
Feeble Minded Children $52,500 was ap-
propriated and the result is much inn
proved conditions at that institution,
which is, however, still SO lacking in
acconnm odations that many applica-
tions for admission are necessarily de-
MED.
Extensive improvements have been
made at the Veterans Home, the ma
chinery in the State Printing Office has
received important additions and Call
fornia Hall at the university for which
$4,000 was appropriated, is nearing
completion. A good deal of construc-
ton work has been done at the Cali
fornia Polytechnic School in San Luis
Obispo.
The needs of the State in the way of
new buildings are numerous, but they
can be supplied only gradually. A
certain amount of new construction
can he provided for out of each tax
levy, but many meritorious building
enterprises must await the time when
the funds can be spared.
One of the pieces of legislation of the
last session which has been followed by
good results is the act authorizing the
purchase of municipal and school dis
trict bonds for the permanent school
fund, which previous to that time could
be invested only in bonds of the United
States, the State and the counties.
These classes of securities were difficult
to procure except by paying , high
price, more particularly since the law
as 1t then stood practically rendered it
necessary to buy bonds through brok-
ers. The new law, by authorizing the
State Board of Examiners to bid direct
without depositing a certified check, has
enabled the making of irst-hand pur-
chases, while at the same time the field
of investment has been enlarged.
The effect is noticeable in closer in
vestment of school funds and also in a
somewhat higher average rate of inter
est on the bonds purchased. On June
80, 1903, there was 1,262,574 ga in the
State school land fund awaiting invest
merlt. and a year later this had been
reduced to $792, ,12S 9S. BY further pur-
chases this had been cut down to ap-
proximately $495,0 on December 1.
1904, and when certain investments
now in view are made practically all
available funds will be invested and
drawing interest.
On the bonds bought between the
years 1899 and 1902 the average rate of
interest was 4.45 per cent, but the pre-
miums paid reduced the net income to
the State to 3.58. For 10000 the aver
age rate of interest on the bonds pur-
chased has been 4.107 per cent and the

condition such as had not before
arisen for nearly a decade, and it was,
as before said, to. prevent its recur-
renee that the Legislature ordered a
larger tax levy than the appropria-

The effect of this levy is shown by
the vastly different condition of the

on that date contained $2,058,610 IL,
sum more than sufficient to meet all

The State of California, like other
solvent institutions, should maintain a
