STATE TREASURERS REPORT TREASURY DEPARTMENT-STATE OF FLORIDA TREASURER'S OFFICE Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. 1, 1924. To His Excellency, Cary A. Hardee, Governor of Florida. Sir: In compliance with law, I have the honor to submit this, my official report of the transactions of this office for the period beginning January 1, 1923, and ending December 31, 1923, both dates inclusive. Included in this report will be found all statements re- quired by law, with additional information that I hope will be of interest to your Excellency, and to the general public. A statement showing the condition of each fund at the beginning and at the end of the year, with the receipts and disbursements during the year, and an abstract of the receipts and disbursements of the General Revenue Fund, is included in this report, and may he summarized, briefly as follows: General Revenue Fund. Balance in Funds Jan. 1, 1923. .......$ 270,235.26 Receipts during 1923 ................ 3,946.872.24 $4,217,107.50 Disbursements during 1923........... 3,662,752.19 Balance in Funds Dec. 31, 1923 .......$ 554,355.31 Suspense Account, State Road De- partment, Balance Dec. 31, 1923..

State Road Dpartment," represents money turned over to the Treasurer by the State Road Department, and deposited by the Treasurer in banks in Florida to his official account, at interest, but not treated as, a part of any particular fund or funds until the proper distribution has been made upon the certificate of the State Road Department. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT RECEIPTS AND DIS- BURSEMENTS FOR FOUR YEARS Figures of a statistical nature are of greater value when presented in comparison with similar figures of similar periods of time, and I am, therefore, adding to this report a comparative statement for the four years beginning Jan- uary 1, 1920, and ending December 31, 1923, showing re- spectively the receipts and disbursements of all funds for each of these years, and an abstract of the receipts and dis- bursements of the General Revenue Fund for the same years. These statements immediately follow the text of this report. Total receipts (all funds) during this period amounted to $45,852,242.98; total disbursements, $44,765,568.14. These figures includes transfers from one fund to another. MONTHLY STATEMENT TO GOVERNOR In compliance with Chapter 4598, Acts of 1897 (Section 139, Revised General Statutes of 1920), statements are made monthly to the Governor by the Treasurer, showing the balance in each of the funds for which he is the cus- todian; also, showing the character of funds or credits and where the money belonging to each fund is placed. RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS All payments made into the State Treasury are entered upon the Treasurer's books, and the original receipts handed to the Comptroller, the same day, for his records. Disbursements from all funds are made strictly in com- pliance with law. Warrants paid by the Treasurer are returned to the Comptroller at the close of each month, for credit and re- concilement of funds and a copy of the monthly state- ment is likewise filed with the Governor. INTEREST ON PUBLIC DEBT. The following amounts were paid for interest on the public debt during the year: Interest of bonds owned by State School Fund.$11,045.00 Interest of bonds owned by Agricultural College (University of Florida) .................... 4,074.00 Interest of Seminary Fund .................. 2,928.00 Total interest on public debt of State....... $18,047.00 This interest is paid semi-annually, on the first day of January and July, by warrants of the Comptroller drawn against the General Revenue Fund, under Chapter 5477, Acts of 1905 (Section 1049, Revised General Statutes of 1920). DEPOSITS IN BANKS All funds not actually needed for the daily cash trans- actions of the Department are deposited in banks under the provisions of Sections 143 and 144 of the Revised General Statutes of 1920. Security for said deposits is required, bonds in excess of the value of the deposits being exacted of each bank, thus allowing a margin for the possi- ble fluctuation in value of bonds thereby making these deposits in the various banks of the State absolutely safe. The rate of interest is three per cent on daily balances. During the early part of 1920 the provisions of Chapter 7929, Acts of 1919 (Section 143, Revised General Statutes of 1920) were put into effect. Every bank in the State which has made application and furnished security re- quired by statute, is allowed an equal share in the State tax moneys derived from taxation in the county in which such bank is situated, at the uniform rate of three per cent per annum interest on daily balances. The following table shows the interest collected each year on State deposits since the statute governing same was first enacted in 1897: Year Ending December 9 1 ( 31st, " ( " i 'C S' S' C' C' " " 11 " " " " " " " t " i l " i " f " t " " i " i t " i i t t t 1897.......... $ 2,723.92 1898........... 3,772.13 1899 .......... 3,522.65 1900.......... 3,364.65 1901 .......... 5,407.59 1902.......... 13,429.11 1903.......... 14,882.61 1904 .......... 9,666.65 1905 .......... 9,489.39 1906.......... 10,594.54 1907.......... 12,578.66 1908 .......... 11,901.58 1909.......... 13,157.68 1910.......... 14,436.76 1911.......... 16,643.33 1912 .......... 20,016.73 1913.......... 23,005.84 1914.......... 25,824.58 1915 .......... 29,337.04 1916 .......... 17,737.30 1917.......... 17,284.24 1918.......... 25,322.47 1919 .......... 32,689.41 1920.......... 52,568.21 1921.......... 65,755.20 1922 .......... 64,483.20 1923 .......... 75,514.72 Total. .......................... $595,110.19 Prior to 1921, the above amounts, totaling to that time $389,357.07, were all paid into General Revenue, as was $27,276.66 collected prior to July 1, 1921, when the Act providing for the creation of a Sinking Fund for the Re- tirement of the Bonded Indebtedness of the State, here- inafter referred to more extensively, went into effect. This Sinking Fund was credited with the $38,478.54 collected during the last six months of 1921, and with the entire amounts shown for 1922 and 1923. 18 SUMMARY. Collateral Bonds .............................. $ 860,000.00 Surety Bonds ................................. 2,960,000.00 Aggregate face value of all securities deposited by Insurance Companies .................. .$3,S20,000.00 STATE FIRE INSURANCE FUND Since its creation in May, 1917, the State Fire Insurance Fund, which is administered by the State Treasurer, has been the means of saving to the State more than one hun- dred and twenty-five thousand dollars (over and above all expenses, losses and unearned premium reserve) in fire insurance premiums which otherwise would have gone to private carriers. As shown by the tabulation following, net premiums written since the creation of the fund (gross premiums less cancellations and return premiums), amount to $248,969.19, with fire losses aggregating $43,356.71, and administrative expenses of $10,665.35, leaving a gross profit to date of $194,947.13. Deducting from this amount the unearned premium reserve of $69,354.54, leaves net earnings amounting to $125,592.59. If we add to this amount the $17,271.76 representing interest on daily bal- ances of State funds saved through retaining these pre- miums in the Treasury instead of paying them out to pri- vate carriers, and deduct $4,979.38 to cover the loss of the 2% premium tax which the companies would have paid to the State on the same volume of business, we have a net profit to date of $137,884.97 through the operation of the State Fire Insurance Fund in the six and one-half years of its existence, a net saving to the State of more than $20,000.00 a year which would have been an expense of $8,000.00 a year prior to the enactment of this law, in premiums paid to fire insurance companies in excess of fire losses recovered by the State from the companies. It will be observed that the ratio of fire losses incurred since the creation of the Fund ($43,356.71) to the net pre- miums during the same period ($248,969.19) is less than 18 per cent, while the losses incurred in Florida by insur- ance companies during the last seven years for which re- ports have been filed with this Department, average slightly more than 41 per cent of the net premiums received. This is accounted for in part by the superior type of construc- tion of the more recently erected State buildings, and in- dividual fire protection at various institutions. The total expenses of administering the State Fire Insurance Fund since its creation amounts to only 4.3 per cent of the net premiums written, or about one-tenth the expense ratio of fire insurance companies. This is not said for the purpose of discrediting the private companies in any way, but merely to emphasize the saving in overhead expense by the use of an office already created, and the elimination of soliciting, advertising and other expenses legitimate to and inseparable from a competitive business. The State Fire Insurance Fund is limited to State properties, there- fore it in no sense invades the field of private business. I'nderwriting Exhibit May 22, 1917, to December 31, 1923.

Interest on deposits of State funds is payable the first day of each calendar quarter, upon the average daily bal- ances of the previous quarter. Tax collections are nor- mally the most active during the second quarter of each year, and the interest payments in the following quarter reflect this fact. The following table shows the interest collections during each quarter of 1923, and the amounts credited to the sev- eral funds receiving same.

AMENDMENTS TO STATE FIRE INSURANCE LAW Upon recommendation of this Department, the Legisla- ture of 1923 enacted the Getzen bill (Chapter 9150, Laws of Florida; approved June 7, 1923), under which the State Treasurer is authorized to insure all single risks of more than fifty thousand dollars, with private companies, the State Fire Insurance Fund carrying its pro rata of such risks up to its $50,000.00 limit. The foregoing table shows the total insurance carried by the State Fire Insurance Fund and the private companies, respectively, at the sev- eral State institutions. The Legislature also enacted the Scales-Mayo bill (Chap- ter 9151, Laws of Florida, approved June 7, 1923), for the payment, in annual installments, of the premiums pre- viously earned by the State Fire Insurance Fund and unpaid by reason of lack of appropriations. The enact- ment of these laws, in my judgment, insures the safety of the State Fire Insurance Fund, and its ability to meet any losses that might reasonably be expected to occur. OTHER LEGISLATION The Legislature also, upon recommendation of this office, passed the Colson-McKenzie bill (Chapter 9317, Laws of Florida, approved May 23, 1923), which permits a great deal of the detail heretofore included in the Treas- urer's annual reports, to be omitted, at a substantial sav- ing to the State.

OTHER LEGISLATION The Legislature also, upon recommendation of this office, passed the Colson-McKenzie bill (Chapter 9317, Laws of Florida, approved May 23, 1923), which permits a great deal of the detail heretofore included in the Treas- urer's annual reports, to be omitted, at a substantial sav- ing to the State. As a matter of information to the Governor and the pub- lic, however, I am including a detailed statement of all* warrants paid from the One Mill School Tax Fund and the Interest of State School Fund, both of which are pro rated amongst the several counties, the investments of the State Bond Sinking Fund and the several State Educa- tional Funds; also a statement of all vouchers paid out of the contingent funds allowed this office, and the State Fire Insurance Fund, for the administration of which the Treasurer is responsible. In conclusion, I beg to extend my appreciation of your Excellency'c assistance and co-operation at all times, and to express confidence in the continuance of these relations throughout your administration. Respectfully submitted, State Treasurer. Under the provisions of this Act, which went into effect July 1st, 1921, a Sinking Fund Commission was created, composed of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the State Treasurer and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who are empowered to use the moneys derived from interest on State deposits as a sinking fund for the retirement of the bonded in- debtedness of the State, which consists of $601,567.00 Florida 3% refunding bonds of 1901 and 1903, of which $267,700.00 mature in 1951 and $333,867.00 mature in 1953. All of these bonds are owned by the several State educational funds, and are controlled by the State Board of Education. The Sinking Fund Act provides in part as follows: "That when, in the judgment of the Sinking Fund Commission and the State Board of Education, the fair market value of the bonds in the Sinking Fund, together with accrued interest on same and the cash, or a portion thereof, to the credit of the State Sinking Fund, shall equal the par value of the State of Florida Refunding 3% Bonds issued in 1901 and 1903, and held by the Educational Funds of the State, aggregating $601,567.00 (plus accrued interest on same), the Sinking Fund Commission is hereby authorized to transfer to the State Board of Education all bonds in the Sinking Fund, together with so much of the Sinking Fund cash as may be agreed upon, and upon acceptance and receipt of such settlement the State Board of Education shall surrender said Florida Refunding 3% Bonds and deliver same to the Sinking Fund Commission, with a receipt in full settlement endorsed upon same. Thereupon, interest on said Florida 3% bonds shall term- inate and cease to be paid. The balance, if any, in the Sinking Fund shall be transferred to the General Revenue Fund, and thereafter interest on State moneys shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund." As the law limits the investment of this fund to securi- ties of the same nature purchased by the State Board of Education for the funds under its control, and as the per- sonnel of this Board is the same as the Sinking Fund Com- mission, no conceivable difficulty can arise in the transfer, in due course, of the Sinking Fund bonds to the State Board of Education in exchange for the cancellation of the $601,567.00 Florida refunding 3% bonds, as provided by the Sinking Fund Act. This should be done within the next five years, and when it is accomplished, the entire bonded debt of the State will have been wiped out more than twenty years before maturity, without one dollar's taxation for that purpose, $18,047.00 a year interest charges now paid out of the General Revenue Fund will be released for other purposes, and the Educational Funds of the State will exchange the 3% refunding bonds for securities bringing in not less than $15,000.00 a year addi- tional interest earnings, for the aid of the common schools of Florida and the Seminary Funds. During the year 1923, receipts of the Florida Bonds Sinking Fund amounted to $83,039.72, of which $7,525.00 was interest from bonds owned by the Fund and the re- mainder, interest on deposit of State funds in the banks. Disbursements amounted to $84,269.76, representing pur- chase of bonds for the Fund during the year. The cash balance at the beginning of the year was $1,711.94, and at the close of the year $481.90. - Total receipts of this Fund since its creation, July 1, 1921, have amounted to $189,101.46, and total disburse- ments (investments in bonds of Florida counties, munici- palities and school districts), have amounted to $188,- 619.56. At the present time the Fund is the owner of such bonds of the par value of $191,000.00, purchased at prices netting about 51/2 per cent annually. A detailed statement of the transactions of the Sinking Fund, also a statement of the bonds owned by the Fund at the close of the year, will be found elsewhere in this report. A saving of $18,047.00 a year interest charges by the retirement of the State bonds twenty years before maturity will result in a saving during that period of more than $360,000.00 to the General Revenue Fund. After the bonds have been retired, the saving in interest charges against the General Revenue Fund, and the increased income of the State School Fund, will be perpetual. The Sinking Fund is administered as a part of the routine work of the State Treasurer's office, the purchase of bonds being authorized by the Commission in each case, and is handled without any additional expense to the State whatsoever. SALE OF "VIOGINIA CENTURY" BONDS OWNED BY EDUCATIONAL FUNDS. Between the years 1900 and 1909, inclusive, the State Btard of Edueation purchased for the educational funds bonds of the issue known as "Virginia Centuries," ma- taring in 1991, and bearing interest at the rate of 3% per annum, of the aggregate par value of $209,000.00, the actual purchase price being $190,915.17. During the year just closed, the present State Board of Education, upon my recommendation, accepted an offer for these bonds of $157,969.17, investing the proceeds (with the exception of a cash balance of $178.93) in bonds of Florida counties and municipalities of the par value of $147,000. Of these bonds, $120,000.00 at 6% per annum interest yields $7,- 200.00 annual interest, while the remaining $27,000.00, at 5%, yields $1,350.00 interest annually, a total of $8,550.00 annually as against the $6,270.00 annual interest on the Virginia bonds which were disposed of, an increase of $2,280.00 annually in interest income as a result of this conversion of securities. This incraesed interest earning during the 68 years the "Virginia Centuries" still have to run would amount to $155,040.00, upon this basis. As the Florida county and municipal bonds so acquired will mature in about 30 years, the net gain from the transac- tion cannot be estimated accurately at this time, as it would depend in part on the par value of the bonds pur- chased when these bonds are redeemed, and this is ob- viously an unknown amount at this time. It may be as- sumed safely, however, that the funds may be re-invested at that time with as satisfactory an interest return as has prevailed for some years past. During the twelve years it has been my privilege to serve the people of Florida as State Treasurer, bonds owned by the educational funds, of an aggregate par value of $875,900.00, have been redeemed or sold, and the pro- ceeds invested in the bonds of Florida counties, munici- palities and districts. The par value of bonds in all the educational funds on December 31, 1911, the close of the year prior to which I assumed office, was $1,709,467.00; at the close of the past year, the par value of bonds owned by the same funds and by the Florida State Bond Sinking Fund, created July 1st, 1921, amounted to $2,714,567.00, an increase in twelve years of more than $700,000.00. The interest of .State ebaol Funmd, which is distributed to the counties for the support of common schools, amounted to $46,058.88 in 1911 and to $107,197.81 in 1923, and this increase as I view it, more than justifies the policy of investing these funds in Florida county, mu- nicipal and district bonds. The only other bonds now owned by any of these funds are $60,000.00 par value State of Alabama bonds purchased many years ago, and $50,000.00 par value Liberty Loan bonds purchased dur- ing the World War.
