        (2) A statement that information concerning the
    
amount or description of the property and the name and address of the holder may be obtained by any persons possessing an interest in the property by addressing an inquiry to the State Treasurer.
        (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.
