(3) A statement that the abandoned property has been
placed in the custody of the State Treasurer to whom all further claims must thereafter be directed.
(c) The State Treasurer is not required to publish in such notice any item of less than $100 or any item for which the address of the last known owner is in a state that has a reciprocal agreement with this State concerning abandoned property unless he deems such publication to be in the public interest.
