Interest Is Changed

came Effective In October

A change in policy as to interest
rate on the states time deposits in
the Farmers Bank is seen as pro-
ducing Increased earnings to the
state but in an amount as yet un-
determined.
The new system became effec-
tive on October 1 under a new
agreement entered into between
the bank and the states fiscal Off
GERS.
Only a change in wording of the
agreement for clarification remains
to go into the working agreement
in accordance with an understand
ing reached in a conference by the
Permanent Budget Commission
with William x. Patno, president
of the bank, and Edward w. Hage-
meyer, vice president of it's Will

The state heretofore received
one-half of one per cent interest on
its time deposits while the new
system is based on one-half of the
available market yield on three
month treasury bills averaged for
the previous six months.
The change was instigated by
the Permanent Budget Commission
