Depositors to Wait for Pay from State Fund of $260,111 for Aid in Bank Failures Not to Be Distrib uted Until 1930. Lincoln. July 12. Though the leg islature appropriated $260,111.34 for repayment to depositors of banks op erated by the guaranty fund com mission, it will be several months before any of this amount is forth coming. Secretary Bliss of the de partment of trade and commerce an nounced Friday. His statement, he said, was prompt ed by a constantly increasing flow of mail from anxious depositors who are seeking repayment. Delay in payment, Mr. Bliss ex plained, was due to the inability of the state treasury to meet the ap propriation before a levy is made and the amount taken in tax col lections some time in December. The levy. Mr. Bliss said Treas urer Stebbins had informed him. will be made within the next 30 days and payments should be made on these claims during the first quarter of 1930. Fred H; Johnson, former secretary to Governor Weaver, is now in charge of an audit of the banks concerned and upon this audit will be deter mined the amount to be paid to each claimant. Records in each case, Mr. Bliss said, are complete and there will be no necessity for the filing of any additional statement by any of the many claimants. Omaha Bee-News.
