State Treasurer Freeman f. Patten
entertained the governor of the state
and other officers and presidents and
cashiers of numerous banks and bank
ing houses of the city at his Office in
the capitol, between 8: 80 and 4:3O
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was a new
departure, this mingllng in a group
of men who conduct the affairs of the
state and those whose hands are on the
financial pulse of the commonwealth,
but one that is likely to form popu-
lar precedent. Within the last few
weeks important alterations have been
made in the arrangements of the inter
ior of the treasurer's Office under the
direction of Mr.. Patten. The treas
ury department. has been partitioned
off so that it is now separated from
ho mi ho io 0fI
paneled oak and the metal fittings of
polished brass. A handsome carpet
has been laid and the whole con-
stitutes decided Improvement. The
Office now has the appearance of a |
banking house. A passageway leads
direct from the outer door to that of
the treasurer's private office, prevent
ing the trespassing by the public in
that section occupied for business pur-
poses and affording greater security.
1t is much needed and businesslike |
change. Of a change in the depart |
ment's banking methods, Treasurer |
Patten said: "The treasury depart |
ment keeps an active account with |
practically all the Hartford banks 1t |
also keeps money on deposit more or
less with some of the banks around |
the state, receiving interest on the de-
posits. At certain times of the year
there is considerable money on hand,
running into the millions. The |
former custom of having checks drawn
by individual signature, where possi
bilities of embezzlement would be SO
great, has, under the present treas
urer, been changed. All checks are
now countersigned, except at one
bank, where only a limited amount of
money is allowed to be on deposit.
This is done, as at times only one
man is liable to be in the Office.
Whereas, formerly, one man could
check out much money at times, now
no one person can check out only al
limited amount and that in only one
bank" That they might note the
changes made in the department., both
as to fittings and in financial methods,
and that the state officers and city
bankers might become Better acquaint-
ed with each other, Treasurer Patten
arranged this informal gathering. A
lunch was served during the time. -
