GET THREE PER CENT
Ordinance Concerning City Money
Passed Unanimously.

The mayor and city commissioners
all being present, today adopted by
unanimous vote the new ordinance
covering the placing of city moneys.
The ordinance or the question thus
comes into conformity with the char
ter provision under which the city ex-
lists, namely, providing that the citys
moneys shall be deposited in one or
more banks of the city, the deposits
secured by good and sufficient
surety bond. In lepositing the funds
in said selected bank or banks. the or
dinance provides. the city is to look to
and be guided by the best interests of
the city of Topeka.
This is the last action on the part of
the city commissioners in their effort,
made possible by the opening of the
new Kansas Reserve State bank, to Sc
cure per cent interest on the city's
moneys, the same as paid for state and
certain other municipal funds.
The mayor and commissioners are
to be commended for the success of
the undertaking inaugurated last
spring. The city will now secure the
3 per cent, SO per cent more than the
per cent heretofore paid. Several
of the leading banks of Topeka made
a final offer on Saturday to the city
if it would let the ordinance stand as
it existed heretofore, they too would
pay per cent on city moneys.
This is certainly a happy outcome
and the city is in a position now to
secure, not only from one bank but
from any bank desiring the city's de-
posits, 3 per cent-the standard rate
now generally established by the banks
of Topeka for state and municipal
funds.
This presages n harmony among all
the banks that cannot but inure to the
special benefit and general welfare of
the capital city of Kansas.
