IN RE DEPOSITS OF MONEYS OF STATE WORKMEN'S INSURANCE FUND.

Moneys belonging to the State Workmen's Insurance Fund must be deposited in a bank approved by the Board of Revenue Commissioners and furnishing a bond approved by said Board. Opinion to Hon. R. K. Young, State Treasurer.

FRANCIS SHUNK BROWN, Attorney General, March 21,

1917:

I have your favor of recent date, asking to be advised whether the moneys belonging to the State Workmen's Insurance Fund must be deposited in a bank approved by the Board of Revenue Commissioners and furnishing a bond approved by the Board of Revenue Commissioners, or whether they may be deposited in a bank approved merely by the State Treasurer and furnishing a bond approved merely by him.**

In response to a request from you, this Department rendered an opinion, December 9, 1915, on several phases of this statute. That opinion contained, among other things, the following:

Answering your inquiry as to whether the money belonging to this Fund is to be taken into account in keeping within the maximum deposit as fixed by Seetion 4 of the Act of 1906, I have to advise you that Seetion 4 of that Act relates to State moneys only, and that the money belonging to this fund should not be taken into consideration in fixing the maximum deposit of State funds.

You also ask to be advised as to whether this Fund must be deposited in one of the six active depositories, as provided by Section S of the Act of 1906. That Seetion provides that

The Revenue Commissioners and the Banking Commissioner, or a majority of them, shall designate two banks or trust companies in Dauphin County, two banks or trust companies in Philadelphia County, and two banks or trust companies in Allegheny County, to be known as active depositories, in which shall be deposited a sufficient amount of the daily receipts of the State Treasury to transact the current business of the Commonwealth.'

You now specifically ask to be advised whether this fund should be deposited in a bank approved by the Board of Revenue Commissioners.

The Act of February 17, 1906, P. L. 45, provides, in Seetion 1:

"The selection of banks, banking institutions, or trust companies, in which the State money shall be deposited, shall be made by the Revenue Commissioners and the Banking Commissioner, jointly, or a majority of them."

Section 5 provides, in part:

"That all banks, banking institutions and trust companies selected as aforesaid, shall, upon the receipt of notice of such selection as depositories of State moneys, furnish a bond to secure payment of deposits and interest to the Commonwealth, with a proper warrant of attorney to confess judgment in favor of the Commonwealth secured by a trust company or individual sureties, to be approved by the Revenue Commissioners or the Banking Commissioner, or a majority of them," etc.

This Act of Assembly does not provide for the specific method of making any particular deposit, or the drawing of checks, drafts or warrants for that purpose. Therefore, the language of Section 4 of the Act of 1915 requiring the State Workmen's Insurance Fund to be deposited "as other State
