HOLDS BONDING
FUND DEPOSITS
IN WRONG BANK
Bank of North Dakota Must
Give Up Money Under
Opinion Rendered
TO PUBLIC REPOSITORIES
Opinion Sought by State Treas.
urer Olson Is Given by AS
sistant Attorney General
70 PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES

The state bonding fund of more
than $4,000 will be removed from
the Bank of North Dakota and placed
/. Stale depository banks, under al
opinion given to State Treasurey O.
bert Olson today by Albert e. Sheets
Jr,, Assistant Attorney-General.
The law which makes it mandat
ory on the State Treasurer to deposit
the funds in state repositories is the
result Of another blunder of the
rubber stamp" legislature in whicE
William Lemke or some one else di.
recting the affairs of that body fail
ed to carry out their program.
The State Treasurer had assumed
it his duty to keep them in the Bank
of North Dakota. The question was
raised and he asked for an opinion.
- Law Amended. .......
The state bonding department was
originally established in 1913. The
law governing it was amended by
succeeding general assemblies. The
Legislature of 1919, which created
the Bank Of North Dakota, contain.
ed this provision:
"All state, county, township, mu.
pjcipal and school district funds, ant
funds of all penal, educational ant
Industrial institutions and all Other
public funds shall be, by the persons
having control of such funds deposit"
ed in the Bank Of North Dakota, etc
Quoting this in his opinion, Mr.
Sheets, continues: 1T has been sug-
gested by the terms Of Section Z just
quoted that it is now the duty of tn,
State Treasurer to deposit the fund
with the Bank Of North Dakota. This
conclusion, however, as will be seen,
Is unWarranted. .
"At the same session OF the legis-
lature that chapter 147 creating the
Bank of North Dakota was passed,
Chapter 1853 re-amending and re-en-
acting the state Banding Fund act
was also passed. In the state bond
ing act passed by the 1919 session OF
the legislature the duties Of the
state treasurer with reference to the
disposition of the State Bonding
Fund were again mapped out. If the
lCS Huu AHIClluCu IAoS IAAS
state Treasurer should deposit the
bonding fund with the Bank OF
North Dakota it would have omitted
Section II Of Chapter l.. Session
Laws of 1915 quoted above, in the
new law and would have thus indi-
Gated that Section of Chapter 147,
Session Laws Of 1919, should contro!
the conduct of the State Treasure.

 Investigation has shown that already the Calosoma beetle has become our best ally against the gipsy moth. and as it re- produces in satisfactory quantities the outlook for it's future usefulness is prom ising. It is a particularly effective nat ural enemy of the gipsy moth, as both its larvae and adults feed on that pest, and the life history of the beetle and the lar vac corresponding very closely to that of the larval and pupal stages of the gip- sy moth, makes the beetle especially adapted to attack the moth.
 The Calosema beetle continues to spread, and will probably soon be found wherever the gipsy moth is known, and in places outside that territory if it can find other sufficient and proper food. The adult beetle of this species Is about one inch in length. It can be recognized by the metallic, hiue-green lustre of its body and it's darkff-blue head and blush black underparts. A few specimens have been placed on exhibition in the Hall of Insect Life at the American Museum to- gether with examples of the gipsy and brown-tailed moths.
