covered. Two notes were found in the
bills discounted that had been made
and discounted by the cashier without
the knowledge OF consent of the board

use. These notes were accompanied by
collateral. which is almost worthless.
The directors would not countenance
the transaction. but immediately re-
placed the notes and collateral with
cash to more than cover the amount.
This replacement was made by the di-
rectors personally to temporarily make
the loss good until the collection of Mr..
