Nebraska. January 18. State Treasurer Meserve and Attorney General Smyth submit three questions to the Nebraska Supreme Court on depository law. They ask if the treasurer must accept certificates of deposit, whether excessive deposits make the treasurer liable, and if two board members can approve a bond and designate a depository without the governor's consent.
