ruE psoPosED CITY sCslP.

The statement made by city paper that
the law would prevent the issuing Of scrip
for circulating medium by the city, is
false.
The National banking law provides that
national and other banking associations shall
not pay out such scrip over their counters.
Ii was never intended TO have the hanks do
this. The circulation was to be received by
the hanks and redeemed by the city. This
manner Of using the scrip is not prohibited
by the law. Kansas City and St. Louis have
done the same thing for years without inter
ferance from the L. S. officials.
However, no one need trouble themselves
about it, as there is no prospect of its being
placed in circulation.
The attempt to raise a dust about this
question, is only for the purpose of a blind,
and will deceive nobody, not even the author
himself
