Administrative History
The United States Deposit Fund was established by Laws of 1837, Chapter 150, with surplus monies distributed to each state from the U.S. Treasury. The fund was used to make loans, secured by mortgages, for the purchase of owner-occupied real property, usually farms. The U.S. Deposit Fund was maintained by the State Comptroller. In each county two commissioners, appointed by the governor, approved the loans, recorded the mortgages, and submitted reports to the State Comptroller. The county commissioners were abolished by Laws of 1911, Chapter 634, and thereafter the State Comptroller approved loans made from the fund.
