Board Delinquent In Choosing
DepoSitorieS for State
Funds,

Legislators continued today to ask
why the State board of finance has
not designated State repositories, in
compliance with the law.
Under the law the finance board
composed of the Governor as presi-
dent, the Auditor of State as Sec
retary, and the Treasurer Of State,
must designate the banks and trust
companies in which State money Is to
be deposited on the first Monday in
every second year. This designation
was due Jan. 1, but no meeting has
been held.
Early in the session, Senator
Joseph NJ. Cravens of Madison in
troduced a resolution demanding a re-
port on the financial condition Of the
State, the amount of State money on
deposit and the names of the institu-
tions in which it is deposited. This
still is pending.
