position Is now before the people
The resolution providing for the sub
mission of this proposed amendment
was passed by the last legislature
with the hearty approval and support
of the present state officials. While
this legislation was pending l per
sonally solicited the support of every
member of the senate and the house
in its behalf. 1t is distinctly a Re-
publican measure, advocated by Re-
publican state officials passed by a
Republican legislature and signed by
Republican governor. And unless
this proposed amendment is adopted
at the coming election there is pos
itively no remedy Ia sight for tn"
relief of present conditions.
Under existing conditions tn. law
folds the state treasurer to a strict
personal liability for the safe keep
ing of the public furds. Nv first
and greatest concern, therefore, has
always been for the safety of the
funds entrusted to ine Should / un-
dertake at any t'.ne 10 loan state
money, would no. only be in ting
Jeopardy to this money. but would
~ ewise be assuming increased La
bilities myself--a risk which no state
treasurer could afford to take. In
this connection, propose now to re-
fer directly to my personal expert
ences in dealing with the conditions
surrounding my office.
Bonding a Problem.
When / was elected to the Office Of
state treasurer I thought that the
state of Utah should receive some
benefit from the funds deposited in
the different banks. therefore took
up the matter of obtaining a surety
company bond, with view to avoid
ing the obligations necessarily assum-
ed by following the usual custom of
soliciting the local bankers for per-
sonal sureties upon my Official bond.
! felt that II / could avoid such obli-
cations would be in a clear position
to dictate terms with the bankers in
the matter of securing interest for

issued warrants or when he stems

to make public the separate state

posed to examine my accounts and

ject would not be complete, nor would

or the banks, IL ! failed 10 mention

ed IRON its funds during my admin.
is'raton. In the first place, the
bankers are acting as sureties on my
ofhcial bond without cost to the state.
NOW, the law fixes the amount of the
state treasurer's bond at $4,000 and
could a surety company be found that
would be willing to accept this risk
the charges would approximate not
less than $4,000 for the four years.
This amount then, represents not
only concession from the banks
having state deposits, but also
straight cash saving to the state.
Furthermore, there is a provision
by law whereby, when the appropria.
ton for building reservoirs is exhaus-
ted and warrants are drawn by the
state auditor after the said appro-
priation has been exhausted, then
and in that event the state treasurer
shall register said warrants, after
which they shall draw interest at the
rate of per cent rer annum until
paid. Now. the reservoir fund ac.
count has been overdrawn since 1909
the present overdraft amounting to
approximately $4,000. II has been
my policy to refuse to register these
warrants, thereby requiring the banks
to carry them without interest until
paid. By means Of this arrangement
which represents another substantial
concession from the banks carrying
. state deposits, I have been able
to effect another cash saving for the
state of approximately $4,000.
Saving On Bonds.
Then again, a great saving was eff.
fected in the sale of state bonds to
the local banks. When the last leg
islature was drafting the laws auth
orizing the state TO issue 100000 in
bonds for the purpose of securing
the necessary funds with which to
erect central building at the state
university, and S260,000 in bonds for
the purpose of state road buildings
it was found by investigating the
eastern bond market these bonds
would have to bear interest at the
rate of not less than Az per cent
to be sold at par At this juncture
| personally interceded with the COM
mittee in charge of the bills to fix
the rate of interest at per cent and
then guaranteed to sell the bonds at
par. This was finally done, and Ia
ter on, when the bonds were issued,
| sold every dollar of them to the
very banks which held the state de-
posts. By this arrangement a
straight cash saving Of half per cent
on $560,00O for twenty was effected.

Concrete Bridges the Cheapest.

Clay Center. Kans., Jan. 3l.-Ten
years ago the trustees of Clay Center
township built the first concrete
bridge. Since then an average of two
bridges a year have been built, and in
these ten years the township board has
not been called upon to spend one
cent in repairs on any of the concrete
bridges. Had tin bridges been built
the county would have spent fully half
the original cost for repainting the
bridges. reflooriRg and requirements.
In going over their records the
township board finds that these con-
crete bridges have not cost the town
ship any more to build than steel or
tin bridges would have CO.'S, and one
of the members of the board says he
does not believe, altogether. the cost
of the concrete structures was as high
as the first cost Of the tin bridges
would have been.
The board, in building concrete
bridges. uses cement blocks, which are
made in Clay Center before work is
started on the bridge. In that way
the roads are obstructed only short
time and almost before the neighbor-
hood knows that the township board
is to put in the bridge it is in.
