SCOTT CITES FIGURES ON STATE FUNDS IN
BANKS DRAWING NO INTEREST
Raleigh, May 11 ? Kerr Scott*
cited figures over a State radio
network tonight in support of his
charge that the State Treasurer
has been "wasteful as custodian of
the State surplus".
The former Commissioner of Ag-'
riculture, who resigned to run for
Governor, declared that "at no
time in the 15 months prior to
March 31st of this year were State
deposits in banks less than 105 mil
lion dollars and during all that
time the State drew not one pen
ny's interest on those deposits."
Scott stated that the figures he
used were taken from the records
of the State Treasurer and the Bud-'
get Bureau.
The candidate for Governor de
clared that these inactive balances (
rose to 171 millions in March 31st
of this year, and charged that if
the State Treasurer "had been a
good business man with the inter-1,
est of the taxpayers at heart, hej
would have foreseen the need for
investing these huge reserves and
obtained statutory authority to do
it,- |
The iormer Commissioner of Ag
riculture said that although the
taxpayers got no interest on their
money, the banks did invest it to
the extent that some of them had
less cash in their vaults and on de
mand that the amount of State
money on deposit with them.
"Let's get this picture perfectly
clear," Scott asserted, "The banks
have the taxpayers' money Invest
ed in the very same safe, conser
vative securities that the State
should use. The important differ
ence is that the banks are making
the profit ? not the taxpayers."
Scott said that the State Trea
surer offered "a courtroom de
fense" for his stewardship, but
that "as a matter of fact, the State
Treasurer had NOT used all the
power written in the law covering
investment of these funds'. Further
more he has failed to ask the Leg
islature for additional authority
to handle the Staters reserves with
good business judgement."
He cited the 50 million placed in
spent a week at her home due to
the illness of her mother.
me Permanent Improvement Fund
by the 1947 Legislature as proof,
stating that none of this money was
invested at interest while it was
still in the General Fund, and most
of it still remains in banks without
interest after its transfer to the
special building fund.
"That big fund ought to be in
vested. It could be invested in
short term bonds yielding as least
one per cent, and be as readily a
vailable for State use as it is in
cash in banks. It has lain without
interest to the State for more than
nine months." the candidate said.
"I invite the State Treasurer to
come from behind his curtain of
technicalities and tell the people
if he really thinks these huge funds
have been handled as they should
be. I invite him to say that he in
tends to continue this plan of
spreading bank benefits if he is
elected Governor," Scott declared
