He is not required to over estimate the bus mess ability and resources of any man: but he should give the same coloring to his reports as is given by the men performing similar duties elsewhere. As it is he makes what 1 suppose he considers very conservative" esti- mates. As a result none of our buSi- ness men are given the same standing by commercial agencies which they would get were they doing business anywhere else under the same finan' cial and trade circumstances. His methods initiate not only against the business men of Nogales, but against the business standing and i'm portance of the place. His peculiar methods have reduced the credit Of the business community of Nogales at least half a million dollars below the normal point.
