BANKS ARE LIABLE
SUPREME COURT OPINION OF
 GREAT INTEREST.
When Drafts With Bills of Lading Attached are Sold Bank Is Responsible for o~ality
 of Goods.

Tn deciding the case of J. c. Hass & Co.,, against the Citizens Bank of Dyersberg, e6e Supreme Court rendered an opinion in Q test case, which is of the greatest i'm portance to the business interests of Ala bama..
 It was to the effect that the bank which had bought a draft and bill of lading for Koods, shipped a merchant. was liable to the merchant for shortage on defects in the goods.
 The merchants have heretofore had no recourse in recovering their losses, after paving their drafts and finding their goods. short in weight or defective in quality. The decision by the Supreme Court is the first time that the highest Judicial body in Alabama has ruled upon khis phase of the StSte's business life.
 The cases grew out of trading through brokers. An Alabama merchant would, for example. order a car load of meat from a local broker. The local broker SvotiId transfer the order to a broker in fhe West, who woled go into the open market and purchase the meat. Having hiiuued the meat he would make draft en the Alabama merchants for it's cost. The draft attached to the bill of lading hvou3d be discounted at the Alabama mer- chants bank
 Tsha merchant could not get his meat nntil he had paid his draft ana secured his bill of lading. If the merchant after wards discovered his meat was short or ef an inferior quality. he had no re- kourss. The bank would claim that it eniy discounted the draft and was in no Rise responsible for the weight or char hcter of the goods.
 A transaction similar to his was the basis of the case of J. c. Hass & o. ks the Citizens Bank of Dyersberg.
 Attorneys for J. c. Haas & Co. brought s1is against the bank on the ground that Ihe bank had purchased the draft at-

1t is said that petitions are out for
the continuation of the stone road
fromWoodsyille to Pennington. If. the
new board of freeholders decide to
build it as it is supposed they will, be-
ing elected for that purpose, tho
writer would suggest that the road
should be built so as to strike the
York road at Monroe Hagaman's thus
escaping the many hills between Rock
town and Ringoes. This route would
be an easy grade and would be on the
main road from Lambertville to Elem
ington, and then by building from
there to Lambertville, would make
continuous road from Trenton aud.
Lambertville to Pennington. BY using
this route the people of Hunterdon
county, would get the benefit of the
use of the road they are taxed to build
The writer feels that the ability of the
County to build these roads is limited
which makes it very important to have
the roads built where they will accom-
odate the largest percentage of Hun.
terdon County people. The above is
respectfully submitted to the new
board for their consideration.
