Judge Steele Gives Decision in Favor
• of North Fork Highway Distrct
at MoScow, Monday, Sept, 19.
(Moscow Star Mirror)
Judge Edgar C. Steele has ren
dered a decision in thfe matter of
the insolvency of the Fidelity State
Bank of Orofino asfollows;
The evidence in this case shows
that on the 8th day of April, 1931,
the petitioner, the North Fork high
way district deposited in the bank,
on that date, and on subsequent
dates, prior to the time the bank
failed, the sum of about $18,DUO,
and that about $17,400 was so de
posited in the bank when it failed.
Tfie North Fork highway district
has petitioned the court to bave the
said amount of money so deposited,
declared to be a special deposit and
trust fund held by the bank, whten
is entitled to have its claim paid in
full prior to the claim of the gener
al creditors.
In 1910 a statute was enacted by
the legislature declaring that no
public funds should be deposited in
any bank except upon a special de
posit, and providing heavy penalties
for any public official, and for the
bank which received the same, for
depositing money In any other way
than upon special deposit.
In the case of the State vs. Thum,
0 Idaho, page 329, the supreme
court of Idaho held as follows:
"Now It must necessarily follow
that, the state treasurer having no
authority to deposit money with
bank on general deposits, but he be
ing authorized to oepostt
money with a bank on special de
posit, the instant that C. W. Bunt
ing and Co., received public money
from the state treasurer, it did so
on special deposit."
This was followed by other de
cisions, and was recently again held
In the case of the Bang or Nampa,
29th Idaho, page 17 4, where the
court nays:
"The lelslature has failed to make
any provision for the deposit of Ir
rigating district funds other than to
prohibit by Section 6976 revised
code subdivision 4, the deposit by
the treasurer of Buch district funds
in any bank or with any banker or
other person otherwise than on spe
cial deposit, made by Givens as
treasurer of the Nampa and Merid
ian Irrigation district of the funds
of the district In the Bank of Nam
pa. Ltd., was a special deposit, and
It became the duty of the Receiver j
of the bank to treat such as the
property of the Irrigation district,
and not of the hank."
In 1921 the legislature of this
state enacted a law by which It at
tempted to change the law. ap It
existed since 1910. It passed what
was known as the "Bank Act" and
Is found at page 42 of the Idaho
Session law of 1921, and so far as ts
applicable to this case, reads as fol
