1t was the opinion OF the New Yorh
bankers that Gov. Pardee should continue

too long a time to furnish an extension OF
credit to people In such an unfortunate
plight as those In San francisco, II was
said. and IL would be proper precaution
against dishonesty.

effect that bankers there believed that

ing impossible the population OF just
debts Apart from requests for money
