kept No Daily Balance.

The work of checking up the affairs
of the defunct German American bank
at Sidney has about been completed.
Those doing the work have discovered
that q most important business of
banking was neglected in conducting
the bank, that Of making daily cash
balances. IL was found that no such
balances had been made for several
years past and there is no means of
knowing the daily receipts and dis
bursements of the bank. So that what
ever shortage there is it is probably
impossible to account for who is re-
sponsible for IL, or when IL occurred.
From the list of notes held 10y the bank,
many of them good, it is apparent
that very little effort was ever made
to collect notes when they came due.
but on the contrary the makers of the
notes were allowed to take their own
time to pay. or not to pay at all, just
as they pleased. The result is that
some OF these notes which were good
at the time they came due are worth
less now.
