Courthouse Bond Funds Put To Work
County commissioners sold 4,000,000 in bonds for 4,002,888.89 and placed the funds in an Anderson Banking Company account at American Fletcher National Bank in Indianapolis. A certified check was issued to County Treasurer Egbert Hood and deposited in the county general fund, saving about 1,900 by avoiding three days of clearance. The money earns about 600 daily interest while a 90‑day Treasury bill valued at 8,046,000.34 matures, expected to yield roughly 54,000 over the period.
