Large allotments of money to banks in which Governor McCray ami Lawrence Lyons, Kepu'dU-au State chairman, are interested were proposed seven days before the Governor took office, and when Williaui G. Oliver, auditor of Slat was ihe ociy member of the present administration on the State hoard of finance, records at the Stutebouse r venled today. The recur,! shows She allotments wore proposed by William G. (Hirer, secretary of the board. . The record shows the board met again pt>b. 18 and approved the all tun-rFs. The minutes of the board show that Mr. Oliver and Ora .1, Hav.es. who had then become State treasurer, were tie only members of the board who were present. It shows Mr. oiix.r approved theallotinenis, despite his statement in answer to charges made by Frederick Van Nuts at the Demo -rati- Mate on vent lon that he was opposed to such practice. Governor McCray later signed the record as having been approved by him According t-, the r , .-e.j ,hr- su: f y.’is'.Ois was allotted t-> the Id*--.ntnt and Deposit Bank of Kerdhind, In which Gorernor McCray i- interested, ami that SB9. •WO was allotted to the Bank of Brook in which Mr. t,xn. is int,-r The two ims k* h.to lwt depositories for comparatively small am- mts until this meeting of the finance board.
