Mr.. Cook Of the Bank Department still refuses to
allow banks in this State TO order plates from the
National Bank Note Co., thus giving the absolute
monopoly Of bank-Gote engraving in th. SAFE to the

Cook for which he has authority in the spirit of the
Bank Act, and as an interference with their rights
based upon no legitimate reason. A petition sgned
by nearly every bank officer in the State will coon be
pretoned to him, asking him to reverse bis decision.
