Inquiries made of several of the parties
cashinQ the checks, disclosed the fact
that they we're not worrying about their
money. While not being able to give
reason for the bank refusing to honor
the checks 1t was the consensus Of opin-
ion that the trouble 10 due to a misun-
derstanding. 1t was generally agreed
that the checks were worth their face
value, though they may not be paid at
once, and that the only trouble would be
the inconvenience caused by delay in
adjusting matters. BY some it is
thought that the contractors have not
received payments due them, as they
expected, and as consequence funds
that they supposed were in the bank
have not been placed there.
No doubt the matter viii be straight
ened out, in few days, and more will
be learned as to the cause Of the re-
