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.
