2 exclusive news dispatches WlLLAMH71"l"Hi VALLEY JNLWS BY special correspondents FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1934 COUNTY SEEKING FROZEN ACCOUNT IN ALBANY BANK Albany Linn county officials have moved to get county deposits out of the First National bank of Albany, through sale of the bank's securities held by the county treas urer. Action will be taken in the face of a demand by the receiver tor the bank that the county turn bark $12,000 of the securities. The county's account In the bank amounts to $39,254.02. The bank had put up as security for this deposit $42,500 in bonds according to the county treasurer. The district attorney's office Is preparing a county court order au thorize the county treasurer to sell as many of the bonds as is nec essary to settle the deposit. The county will not comply with the de mand of the receiver for return of the bonds. In a-sking for return of $12,000 of the $42,500 in bonds, C. C- Bryant, receiver for the bank, made claim that this part of the bonds was pledged before 1930, when there was no law authorizing banks to give se curity for county deposits. In 1930 congress enacted a law requiring banks to give security for county deposits. The county's contention In refusing to comply with the demand Is that they have been re-Issued and re -pledged from time to time, giving them the same standing as bonds pledged after 1930. In case the receiver decides to make an Issue of the right of the county to such bnods, the procedure would be a suit In federal court.
