BANKS REFUSE TO
RAISE INTEREST
ON CITY FUNDS
WON'T GO BEYOND PER CENT
MARK oNDEPoslTS, ALTHOUGH
COUNTY GETS HALF POINT
MORE.

Detroit banks will pay no more than
= per cent for city deposits.
This was determined definitely In
conference OF bankers with the
mayor, controller treasurer. and ways
and means committee OF the council
in the city hall. Thursday morning.
The only promise that the bankers
would make was that they might con
Cede quarter OF point more when
times become good.
Treasurer Koch urged the bankers
to give more liberal terms, saying that
other cities get from ia TO 4 per cent
on deposits.
You give "a per cent interest 10
the county, why not TO u.s." he said.
81 know that the term combination 10
Objectionable To you gentlemen. but
there seems 10 me 10 be an under
standing among the bankers on this
matter"
The committee will probably enter
into contract with the same banks
that now act as repositories. unless
some others come forward and guar
antee that they will bid for deposits
il bids are advertised for.
The committee will recommend the
sale Of $4,000 of school bonds to the
Standard Life IL Accident Insurance
Co. and $l99, 900 school bonds to Il. II,
Rollins 4 Co.
The sinking fund commission will
buy in all of the 100000 issue of con.
tagious hospital bonds as an invest
ment, selling them later. perhaps. Bids
for $4,000 of this issue were received
but after the proper time and the COM
mittee held that il would not do TO
allow such bids to be honored.
An opinion will be asked from the
corporation counsel as 10 the legality
OF the sale OF these hospital bonds to
the commission. They are as good as
school bonds in every way but are not
so popular with bond buyers.
