lay in approving re-opening should
not be construed as a reflection on
a bank’s soundness. A perfectly
sound bank re-opening may be de-
layed simply because its application
is farther down the list.

but sufficient to ease the tension
of the citizenship and to meet the
immediate, demands of their pa-
trons.
Under orders received Saturday
morning the banks were accepting
checks {gainst accounts if they
could be placed to the accounts of
those who had received the chec}as.
No money was being paid ou/but
the practice was serving as/ me-
dium sufficient t take ca of the
business of the city. /1

cashed as usual but other kinds
of checks were blot except on the
