SP£ER STRIKES. THE STATE TREASURER COMBS TO THB CONCLUSION That Ho f• Not Hcqulr:<J Under the L»w to Bend to New York the rand* to Meet the 7nbllo Debt, Bat Will Par l» H«r*-Hi* item on* Tor It — B:o., Xlo. Saturrdftjr State Treasurer Speer informed a Con stitution reporter of a most Important decision thathohad reached in reipect of the future pay* ment of <he principal aud interest of the larger portion of the outstanding bonds of the state of Georgia. Nearly all the bonds of the stato havo been issued under acts of the general assembly in which pressly stipulated that tho principal and interest of said bonds should be made payable in tho city of New York, that being tho financial center of the country and tho market in which the great bulk of tho bonds wera expected to bo and were actually sold. The holders of the bonds have taken them with this express stipulation dearly engraven upon their face and with the expectation of always finding the funds ready in New York to make good this specific promise of the state. FORMER CUSTOM, it seems baa been for tho state treasurers to either go in person with tho funds to New York, or send them to somo such personally appointed fiscal agent as tho Park or Chemical bank, and there re* celve tho bonds and coupons, and pay the princi pal of and Interest upon the same. But Utterly, and especially sinco tho advent of Governor McDaniel, Treasurer Speer has had doubts about the legality and policy of this assumption of author ity. IIo finally determined to submit tho matter to tho governor and did so with tho fullest explain* lions, CON ST Rl'I NO Tit* LAW. Togelhor Governor McDaniel and Treasurer.Speer thoroughly considered all tho law bearing upon the conduct of the state treasurer, his liability and dis cretion, and tho statutes affecting in any $wi* the liquidation of the Interest and principal of the public debt There is a law requiring state sur plus funds to be deposited in certain designated banks in named cities of Georgia, but there could nowhere be found any shadow of authority for tho treasurer making a deposit ot stato funds in any bank in New York or elsewhere outsido stato of Georgia. This presented most perplexing dilemma and tho question ot a suitable remedy was thereupon taken under consideration. AM ENABLING ACT. Since the absence of any law authorizing tho do- posit of funds in New York to moet tho demands made presentable there by law and by tho wording of tbe bonds placed tho entire risk and rosponslbll- ty of such deposit upon tho treasurer, it was sug gested by Governor McDaniel that lhe legislature should be asked to pass an enabling act to meet tho necessities ot tho case. Accordingly a bill was prepared authorizing the treasurer, with tho approved of tbo governor, to designate some suitable and solvent bank in tho city of Now York as a depository of state moneys, upon certain conditions to bo imposed upon tbo bank accepting tho office and trust. This bill waa introduced into tho gcncrnl assembly, but it was doomed to untimely death at the bauds of the eminent economists and solonsof that body. It failed to become a law and tho legislature adjou any provision for these financial tmeiymclm. of ftptotet authority tbo question uK»iu nro*- with tho trersurer as to whether or not ho would assume tho risk and*responsibility of making deposit* in New York for tho purpose stated.
