State Treasurer
Explains Details to
Local KiWanians

The speaker al the meeting of the
WatervilIe KiwaniS Club at the Elm
wood hotel last evening was William
J.. Bonney, the state treasurer. One
of the interesting facts brought out
by him was that for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1928. the state treas
urer's Office handled over $4,000
600, of which about $9,00O,000 was
money appropriated by the legisla-
ture in its last session. Halt of this
latter amount was raised by taxa
ton and the other half came from
indirect sources. The state money is
kept in about $40 banks and trust
companies and eight banks are used
for the active checking accounts. Mr.
Bonney told of the very complete
record that is kept at the treasurer's
Office of all transactions. Here is
to be found the first check received
by the state of Massachusetts.
amounting to $1,000. this being the
money on which the state of Maine
got it's start. The total expended
during the first year of Names his
tory was 100000, about one-fourth
of what is paid by the city of Port
land in it's state tax at the present
time.
Mr.. Bonney said that of the seven
mills of state tax paid by the mu-
inequalities, three and a third mills
go back to them for their schools,
one goes to sinking fund, one to
third class roads and the remaining
one and two-thirds mills goes to the
running expenses of the state. He
also spoke of the manner in which
the forestry tax is assessed and how
it is question of dealing with large
fractions in making out the tax
which each owner must pay. He
declared that all the work of the
office is routine work, prescribed by
the legislature. He described the is
suing of bonds and said that during
the past year LOCO checks had
been PAID out from the treasurer's
office.

of the directors.
The work done this year will be no
more than an experiment and there is

some future date a bill may be pre-.
