Corner Farnam and Fifteenth Streets LAWS DO NOT SUIT MESERVE Btate Treasurer Suggests Changes in the | Existing Statutes, INVESTMENT OF SCHOOL FUND WORRIES HIM ieneral Fund Warrants Are Re- duced in Interest They May Be eft to the State to Purchus an LINCOLN, Dec. 8.—(Speclal.)—In his bi- enntal report to the governor Treasurer Meserve will suggest several changes 1o the laws governing und regulating the conduct of business in the Treasury department. He will recommend that the section of tho law concerning the disposition of the school money be amended 80 that the semi-annual apportionments may be made in April and October of euch year, instead of in May and December. This change is suggested to enable the treasurer to include all appor- tionments made during his term in his blen- nialreport. The recommendation will also be made that all money in the sinking fund be turned into the general fund. In commenting upon his inability to fnvest the educational tunds Treasurer Meserve will assert that unless means are taken to amend the constitution so that the treas- urer can buy other securities than those now allowed it will become harder every year to keep theso funds Invested. He Will suggest as one remedy that the rate of futerest on general fund warrants be re- duced to 8 per cent, so that they may be purchased as investment for the educational funds. The treasurer will also favor an amend- ment to the revenue law authorizing a 7-mill levy for the general fund, instead of & G-mill levy, this being necessary to keep even with the appropriations. Another suggestion urges authorizing county treas- wers to collect interest in irrigation bonds. | Some Suggestions Offered.
