State Treasurer trades for Idaho bonds and loses funds
State Treasurer Brian obtained an option on four hundred thousand dollars of Idaho state bonds in Boise but lacked funds to accept them. He relinquished the option to George Hoebler of Omaha, agent for a Chicago bond firm, who paid travel expenses, leaving Nebraska’s position unchanged. The treasurer also received fifteen thousand dollars in water bonds from Curtis, Nebraska, bought under state law allowing school district and municipal bonds, yielding about four percent interest. He could not purchase sixty thousand dollars of David City bonds due to funds. Attorney General Thompson says the state board of equalization lacks county boards' power to correct evident errors in real estate assessments by adjusting individual parcels, except for railroad real estate under terminal tax law. the board also cannot disturb valuations under the general revenue law outside designated assessment years.
