w*flp*6sssßSl i2O. but it has
(tone bevond all expectations and it„ls
likely that it will touch that figure
•within two years. There is now $300,-
000 in bonds held by the fund, invest
ments having been made under direc
tion of State Treasurer Young, and
$200,000 in cash. About SIOO,OOO more
wil be invested soon.
The fund gets half ttoe State tax on
premiums of foreign fire insurance
companies, all of the Interest on the
sinking fund and several other funds.
The plan was long advocated by Sam
uel B. Rambo when superintendent of
public grounds and buildings and he
launched the enterprise.
It is feared that some pending legis- !
lation may cut off the payment of the
insurance tax to the fund, but it is
not regarded as likely to be enacted.
