Loss or CANT

State Treasurer George has COM
pleted the sale of several blocks of
state bonds held for the permanent
school fund, the proceeds to be re-
invested in bonds issued by Nebraska
counties, cities or school districts.
The treasurer offered for sale all the
holdings of the school fund consisting
of bonds issued by other states, and
received bids equal to or more than
par and accrued interest for only a
comparatively small part of them. 1t
will be interesting to know, and we
hope soon to have a public statement
showing exactly what these financial
transactions stand the state.
These securities were bought mostly
from brokers on a basis computed to
yield a certain stipulated rate of In
terest, which rate was presumably the
current rate. The sales of these
bonds have been to brokers bidding
with a view of disposing of them
again at current rates, and how much
NAS SNSeN - AOoOA VI 6oAhcA 5hOhAu 10
easily figured out 1t does not follow,
of course, that, although the school
fund may be at a sacrifice in the con-
version Of its holdings from the bonds
of other states to those of its own
subdivisions. It will in the long run
suffer, for the rate OF interest on the
new investments should be materially
higher than what was received on the
old ones.
The eostliness of the straight-iacket
which has hampered and prevented
the businesslike management of the
school fund heretofore should en-
phasize the importance OF now getting
these trust funds so placed that they
will yield the best returns for the
schools commensurate with absolutely
safe and sound investments.

Now It is intimated that the Water
board will not formulate its bond
proposition until after 1t hears from
its appeal from the order entered in
the specific performance case which
is set for May IL. But the Water

peal was pending. and that it could
not be heard before the middle of
May. The hurry-up bond talk two
months ago was plainly INDUCED at
that particular time for effect on the
