large balance must be malntnlncd at all
times.
Interest Flcd by Councils
The interest rutp puld by banks on
rlty deposits is fixed by ordinance) of
Councils. For n long time the interest
rate was 2 per cent. Then Mi of one
per rent was ndded to the rate.
Some bankers bold that the benefits
the city would derive from nn invest
ment of its idle funds would not com
pensate sufficiently for the possible risk
the citj would assume.
WAR'S VICTORS DEPRESSED
Tho city has millions of dollars lying
- in banks and trust companies earning
2'& per cent interest, while on n largo
portion of that sum, obtained through
bond issues, the city itself is paying
"46 per cent.
By judicious investment of a share
of the funds lying in inactive accounts,
it Is estimated, the city could add from
$100,000 to $200,000 to its annual
revenue, money that could be spent on
greatly needed street repairs or other
improvements.
Two hundred thousand dollars would
be almost enough to maintain the regis
ter of wills' office and the district at
torney's office nnd would be nearly
sufficient to maintain the sheriff's office.
Thp eitv treasurer's statement for
the week endipg last Thursdav showed
the citj's balance, not including the
,sinking fund account, to be $10,1.10,
121.14. The funds in the city's inac
ive account are distributed among forty
three national banks and fifty-five trust
companies.
Councils Authorized Investment

innli of the city's monSi.ns could be
I. .nftOy spared in government certificates
"f indebtedness. These certificates pay
-'I.', per cent interest, and can be con
verted into cash nlmost on demand.
' Despite this authorization, Controller
" n'ton took no action toward reduc-
'tig the citj's huge balance, and so pine-
'iig it that u lurger interest vlcm could
fe obtained in a safe government in
vestment. Investment of a large proportion of
I' the citj's balance has been urged in
j ir bulletin issued by the I'.ureau of Mu
nicipal itesearcn.
"The Major, the city treasurer
and the city controller," the bulletin
asserted, "comprise a committee which
was authorized by an ordinance spon
sored by the chairman of the finance
committee, unanimously adopted by
Councils and approved April 30, 1018,
to invest as much of the city's money
as could be safely spared in certificates
of indebtedness of the United States
Government.
Could, Keep Million Balance
"These certificates pay 4V4 per cent
interest. They are the safest of all in
vestments. They can be converted into
cash virtually on demand, without loss
of either principal or interest. The city
controller knows, or ought to know, the
weekly disbursement neons of the city
for three months in advance. To be
thoroughly conservative there would be
no objection to keeping a cash balance
of a million dollars."
Big Balance Needed, Sajs Walton
Controller Walton today contended
that it was absolutely necessary for the
city to maintain a large bank balance.
"Demands are coming in on the city
all the time," he explained, "and it -Is
necessary to have the funds available
to meet them."
Asked if these demands on the city's
money could not bo anticipated and
provided for, he replied that they could
not to any accurate degree.

Relief Administration found in de

Thomas, of Mlddlebury College, de

ing: "Things have not been administered
by chance these recent years. The
creed of the jungle has been discredited.
The way to power nnd honor is not by

even to raise the question thnt such
