Notice on bond purchases governs county funds
Notice required before investing county or school district funds in securities. Tommy Ford, sworn county treasurer August 26 1987, said public notice will precede investments and allow protests or sales offers to ensure safety and best rates. An agreement with United States Fidelity and Guaranty in 1937 limited sinking fund investments to warrants, or required company approval. Chinatown in San Francisco refused a simple American funeral for Chin Lair, opting for a traditional Chinese service.
