that before be 'could lo this he must

1 (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 28.-(peclal.)-State
Treasurer W. A. George has Issued the
following statement regarding the charge
that he did not turn over interest money
during his term of office as county treas
urer of puster county; -
My attention - has been " called to tan
article appearing in one of the democratic
papera of August 27, regardlng'my admin
istration as county treasurer Of. Custer
county, The article in question is mislead-
ing., it swtes tnav i-enirea irora the
of flee 1 IW0. The facts are that I served
1908, to January, 1W6,
ear ago.
Vi
Aft Indirect charge la made that I did
not . account-in full for interest resolved
rrom the banks from county deposits.
That charge Is not true. Bering the years
of my adminlstratton''and years preceding
It was the custom of the banks desiring
county funds for deposit under the law
then m; force- to lite Wtlh the county
board a bid for specified amounts and
with suoh bid a bond to protect same,
and such banka designated by the county
board as county depositaries. During my
administration the bids and bonds as
filed were not sufficient to cover more
than a minor portion o f the funds on
hand, and In the office, and the balance
of funds, were left In - the treasurer's
hands, for which he was personally . re
sponsible. Numerous requests were made
by me to the county board to relieve the
situation by furnishing additional legal
depositories or providing a burglar-proof
safe and put on a night watch, but with
out Success.
All Interest received from the legally
constituted depositories has been . ac
counted for, and no Interest was received
that was not accounted i for.. other than
the legal deposits., I do not owe Custer
county one cent for interest.
X was the first county treasurer of
Custer county to give surety bond, which
was given at a cost of 1386, and by so
doing relieved myself from obligation to
any Individual or banks, such as would
huve arisen through my request as sign?
era as security on my bond.
The legislature, session of 1905, amended
a depository law so as to provide for the
safe keeping of all county and state
funds, relieving the treasurer from peri
sonal liability. The law . was again
amended in 1907 and again in 1909 and
this leaves conditions entirely radically
different from what they were ten year
ago. Another noticeable change in con
ditions as to what they were ten years
ago, the county treasurer : received a
salary fit 12,000. provided the fees of the
office ware sufficient to pay the same,
and the provisions for. clerk hire were not
sufficient, squiring- the office force to
work days, nights and Sundays to keep
up the work.whllencw the treasurer re
ceives a straight salary ot li,aXr with, no
restriction aneV-is aliowed ail clerical
help needed to pwformr thaf-worlti..
Under the law onw In force all. counties
receive not lass than 2 per cent on their
dully balancea "and the state treasurer
fets 3 "Per cent on such daily balancea.
tader the guarantee law all state banks
may be made county or state depoattoriea
without the necessity ot Blvtmc bond.-. .
The examiner who ihecke up- the rec
ords of Custer county for the- uiat-alx-teen
years states In his 'report to the
county board that my accounts are ab
solutely correct, that he found no altera
tions or' errors 'therein, and In said re
port Is embodied as I take- It a strong
compliment for efficiency with which the
work In the office was done during my
four yeara as county treasurer.-
