Bank Held Responsible In State Depository Case
Judge Munger issues an opinion in the Nebraska case against First National Bank of Orleans. The bank deposited state funds of 25000 dollars with a 3 percent rate, later becoming insolvent. Defendants argued the funds were a loan, not a deposit, and claimed a breach of the national banking act, but the judge overruled the demurrer, ruling the funds were a public deposit or a nonviolation if treated as a loan.
