County Treasurer Inaugurates New
System.

81 have inaugurated new banking
system for the county money this
year." said A. j. Richardson Satur-
day. "The supervisors make the con-
tracts with the banks for the use of
the county funds, and money is as a
result deposited in several of the
banks Of the county. During the past
two years have deposited the same
amounts of money i'm the banks on the
same day, but the interest from the
various banks was never the same.
Now under the new system l take $40
900 to bank and obtain 10 certifi-
Gates of deposit. Then when we need
some money, we can take one of the
certificates from one or more of the
banks and have the interest on it un-
til that day. In that way there is no
mix-up in regard to the interest. I
tried it at one bank last year, and
liked it so well that / decided to in
augurate the system"
Mr.. Richardson was able to make a
deposit of $4,000 Saturday, as a re-
suit Of the county tax received. Will
