A broker said the trouble was that banks
that have not among their assets State and
municipal bonds don't want to buy them,
for they would have to pay cash for the

calls of customers.
Friday is pay day in some mannfactur-

from banks to pay their employees. SAT-

TOYE WILL BE
SUCCESSOR TO
CUSACK
To Be Chosen FreehOlder
By Twelfth Ward Demo-
cratic Committee.

From present indications Dennis
Toye, school commissioners from the
Twelfth Ward, will be chosen tonight
by the Twelfth Ward Democratic ex-
ecutive committee as successor TO
Freebooter John Cusack. whose mental
condition prevents him from attending
to his duties.
This action will settle the question
of Cusick's successor. although the
formality Of appointment by the Com
mon Council at the December meeting
will have to be gone through. Alder
man Patrick Corish, at that time, will
present the name of Commissioners
Toye, according to his promise.
Tonight's meeting~ has been called
as a result of much discussion in the
Twelfth Ward over the condition of
Mr.. Cusack.
Alderman Corish was asked to name
a new member from the Twelfth Ward.
He was adverse to doing this imme-
diately, preferring to wait suitable
length of time so as Cusack's condition
could be properly determined. 1t is
now practically certain that Mr..
Cusack's condition is hopeless. and the
executive committee thought that Com
missioner Toye, Mr.. Cusacks closest
friend, should fill the place so that the
interests of Democracy in the Twelfth
Ward should not suffer
