16agent of that custodian of public funds for the purpose of
17holding and investing those funds.

20earnings and for the interest earnings in excess of such
21expenses to be credited or paid monthly to the several
22custodians of public funds participating in the Pool in a
23manner which equitably reflects the differing amounts of their
24respective investments in the Pool and the differing periods of
