State invests in precinct bonds by treasurer
Nebraska state funds are invested in $9000 of precinct bonds by Treasurer L. G. Brain under orders from the state board of educational lands and funds. The board treats precinct bonds as investment like county bonds, arguing they are signed by the county clerk and county board chair, with precinct property liable for payment. The move relies on an interpretation of the constitution which is silent on precinct bonds.
