hair ornaments than the silken rib

TO HAVE
ABOUT 100000
At Any One Time This Year,
1t Is Estimated, to Be
Placed On Deposit.

At the meeting of the county board
OF finance Oh Monday the biennial al
lotment of county funds TO banking
institutions was determined, 1t was
estimated that the maximum amount
which the county would have for de-
post at any one time during the next
two years would be approximately
$500 ,9a4, and the proportioaate share
, of each institution was worked out
! according TO this basis. The banking
/ institutions before being given any
! portion of the connty's funds will
have TO file bonds OF approximately
seventy-five per cent of the total
amount to which the Institution is en-
titled
While the maximum amount which
the county officials figure will be on
! deposit is close TO 100000 it is not ex-
! pected that this amount will be on de-
post at any one time, There will be
continual checking against the county
! deposits by the officers in order TO
meet the countys current expenses.
That pcrtion OF the funds which each
| institution receives and subject to
cent interest, while the portion sub
ject to six month check will draw
TWO and a half per cent. interest, and
tAat portion checked for the year three
PER cent. interest.
Officials can not draw on the coun-
ty funds in any one institution ex-
clusivcly until the amount in the insti-
tuition is exhausted: Or, again, if a
thousand dollars was wanted 55-16l of
the amount would have to be drawn
from the Second National bank, the
largest depository and 1-161 from the
Northern Wayne bank of Economy,
the smallest depository and so on.
When the county has the maximum
amount for deposit, each of the thir.
teen institutions will receive the fol,
lowing amounts: Second National
bank, s136,620; Dickinson Trust com.
, pany, $S0,730; First National bank
