Ca EDERAL RESER IMPORTANT MEASURES \ 0> GOVERNOR'S DESK. ? |l Columbia, Feb. 24.?One of the _ | T important measures passed by the recent general assembly is the Banks' state warehouse insurance act, which j is now 011 the governor's desk await- j < ! ' iniz; executive action. The act would < provide for the insurance of state 1 i 4 warehouses and state warehouse cot-, ton bv the state, tlie premiums to be ; collected by the warehouse commisi sioner and placed in the state treas- i j ury, and any loss tc be paid by the ' state treasurer upon warrant drawn' i by the state warehouse commissioner, i from said funds or any other funds J in the treasury to the credit of the ' state sinking fund commission, whicn ;; now insures certain classes of public i property. The state .warehouse com- ; missioner would be required to rein- j' sure any single risk of over $100,000. j: The rate of insurance would be fixed I by the warehouee commissioner, sud- i ject to the approval of the governor, i j insurance commissioner and comptrolj ler general. The idea in placing the ! j funds already to the credit of the; i sinking fund commission at the dis-! ( posal of the warehouse commissioner | to pay any loss is that a loss might occur before the premiums earned from warehouse insurance would be i sufficient to meet it. j j i Several days ago the sinking fund , , commission held a meeting to conI sider the effect of the act. and it was feared that certain trust funds held by the commission might be affected. flliocf'nii irac< ir> Af_ a vjuv.Ct.Vil >?

Fund Commission, Columbia, S. C. o Dpar Sir: 1 am in receipt of your s etter ot the ISth inst.. in which you j r ?tate that the commission request my t Dpinion as to the effect of the act to 1 provide insurance for warehouses operated bv the state of South Caro- i lina and for cotton stored therein, j passed at the recent session of the !; legislature, now in the hands cf the 1. \ * governor awaiting his approval. ; j In reply thereto I beg to say that ! ? the portions of the sinking fund held j( by the commission in trust for the I bondholders and creditors of the state j g and in trust for the public schools of , the state can not be affected in any j way bv this act. These trust funds ; . have been dedicated by the state con- j stitution or the acts under which the state funds are issued to the use1 therein declared and can not be di- j verted by subsequent acts of the leg- j islature. The provision in section 5 of tbi3 j act now under consideration that any 1 loss of cotton by fire shall be charge'! against said funds or any other funds in the hands of the sinking fund com- I mission must be held to mean any insurane funds held 'by the sinking fund commission for the purpose of meeting fire insurance losses. The accumulative fnnds from premiums paid on insurance of state. county and school buildings are the private property of the state and may be disposed of by it as it sees fit. It is, [herei'ore. no violation of any pubilc trust to use these funds as a guarantee fund for the purpose of private insurance to persons storing cotton in lhe state warehouse in addition to the insurance provided ?->r the public buildings now being insured under ixisting laws. ine act evidently contemplated tnat he owners of the cotton stored in :he warehouses should pav a rate of nsurance premium sufficient to carry heir risks and imburse the state for *nv losses that might occur by reason >f the destruction of su^h cotton bv ire. The rate to be paid is to be ived by the state warehouse com mis- . sioner ,subject to the approval of the STATED /B ?5 Oi" J Decer I Loans and Investmer Liberty Bonds, Overdrafts Secured i Cash on hand and in i Capital Stock, Surplus and Profits, Dividend No. 41, dm Bills Payable, Deposits, OVER ?
