OLYMPIA. Wash., March 20. (Spe
cial." Acting Governor Hart today
vetoed senate bill 98 and section 2 of
senate bill 222. He approved eight
other bills, leaving a total of 17 to be
acted upon by Tuesday.
The vetoed bill amended regulation
of school district sinking fund invest
ments to authorise open market pur
chase of liberty bonds or certificates
of indebtedness to be sold again upon
the " open market for the purpose of
redeeming district bonds due. The dis
trict would be required to bear any
loss by depreciation of securities pur
chased. Acting Governor Hart holds that.
since the ' legislation is not needed to
help float i government loan, there
is no reason why a county treasurer
should be authorized to purchase securi-'
ties for district trust funds- that will
not readily sell at par. when many
stable securities are available.
Executive .disapproval falls upon sec
tion 2 of senate bill 122. the fraternal
insurance measure, because of a trans
position of the word "not" that re
versed the intent .of the act. It was
designed to bring insurance orders
that have not . readjusted their rates
on an adequate basis. Section 1,-which
stands approved, makes no material
chance in the existing law.
