Ruling Bars
Bond Funds
From Banks
BY MARY LOU WERNER

NOTJIleTn VuSlulh localities
have millions of dollars in bond
funds illegally deposited in
Understanding bank accounts.
according to q new ruling by
Attorney General Kenneth C.
Patty.
The attorney general ruled
late Friday that bond funds
cannot be put into interest,"
drawing bank accounts.
His ruling came on a Mar
tinsville (Va.) bond issue, but
apparently will have a wide
spread effect throughout the
State, especially in Northern
Virginia where most localities
are in the midst Of large i'm
provement programs financed
by bond issues.
Mr.. Patty said he personally
was unaware that investment
of bond funds in interest,"
drawing bank accounts was il
legal until he was asked to
check into the matter.
Code Rewritten
He explained that the Gen.
eral Assembly had rewritten a
section of the State code in
1856. The way the law is now
written bond funds may be in
vested only in United States
Government bonds, obligation
of the Commonwealth, obliga-
tons of Virginia counties and
cities, or obligations of the In
ternational Bank for Recon-
struction and Development.
A check Of Northern Vir-
GINA communities yesterday
showed that Fairfax, Arlington
and Alexandria have about 81
million deposited in interest
drawing accounts.
Officials said they expected
the localities would have to
take the bond funds out Of the
banks, and buy short-term
Treasury notes which would
fall within the Government
bond category that Mr.. Patty
said was legal.
It has been common practice
throughout the State for local
/ tiles to put bond funds in in
Iterest-drawing bank accounts
until the money is needed. The
banks have been required to
put Government or municipal
bonds in escrow to secure the
deposit.
Earn 100000 Interest
I'VE earned something like
100000 that way on our sewer
bond ISSUE" commented Fair
fax County Executive c. C.
Massey. He estimated Fairfax
currently has about 81 million
in bond funds deposited in
interest-bearing accounts.
Mr.. Massey said he thought
the situation was absurd, and
predicted the county would
seek legislation to permit such
bank deposits.
Colin c. Macpherson, Airing
ton County treasurer, estimated
his jurisdiction had about 50
million in bond funds now on
deposit.
He said he hadn't heard
about Mr.. Patty's ruling. but
already had started a program
of withdrawing the bond funds
from the banks TO invest them
in Treasury notes because he
is now able to get a higher
interest rate on the Treasury
notes.
E. G. Heatwole, Alexandria
city manager, said he believed
the city had about $500, 900 de-
posted in Understanding
bank accounts.
James Durant, Falls Church
treasurer, said he had put bond
money in the bank in the past,
but at present had it all in
vested in Treasury notes.
Officials speculated that
while the localities could meet
the situation by transferring
bond funds from bank accounts
to Treasury notes. the banks
are not going to like the pros
pect of so much money being
withdrawn.
