COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS
Clement C. Sawtell Richard F. Schroeder William T. King, Chairman
With the continuation of high interest rates, your Commissioners have attempted to take advantage of every opportunity to increase the income of the various funds under their jurisdiction. Savings bank deposits, when possible and prudent, were depleted to invest in the U. S. Treasury "Magic Fives" due 1964. Also advantage was taken of the Treasury's offer to exchange Series "F" Savings Bonds maturing in 1960 into a short term 4 3/4% issue. Several high-grade, high yielding corporate names were also added as the opportunity arose.
It should be noted that several small unrestricted Library Funds have been consolidated into one account now known as the Lincoln Library Fund. £
This was done at the request of the Library Trustees and the Town Treasurer for simplification of bookkeeping.
Historically, interest rates have been very close to their all-time high. Due to intelligent maturity scheduling by former Commissioners, it has been possible, over the past two years, to reinvest at current rates with corresponding increase of income.
