MUST DRAW INTEREST
Attorney General Says County Funds
Must Draw 2 per cent Interest
on Daily Balances in Banks.

County treasurers who cannot Sc
cure two per cent interest on daily
balances from banks in county seat
towns are required to hunt up bank
which will pay interest as required
by law, is the opinion of Attorney
General Byers. Since the new law
went into effect requiring county
treasurers to deposit public funds in
banks at interest of two per cent on
daily balances number of treasur-
ers and county attorneys have asked
the attorney-general what to do in
case the banks in the county seat
towns refuse to pay interest. Mr..
Byers holds that Tie treasurer must
take his funds to another town,
whose banks will pay the required
rate Of interest.
Some of the treasurers, who have
unexpired contracts with banks for
the deposit of public funds are at
loss what to do. Numerous INQUIRIES
in regard to this matter have also
reached the attorney-general, but he
has not yet rendered an opinion on
this last question.
