the balances they have on deposit and
In turn they have only on recourse
and that is to follow suit. During

for the local banks TO adopt this plan
because New York was the only city
to take advantage Of the certificate
plan OF settlement and currency was
obtainable from Denver. but Denver
following suit at this time with east

Certificates issued are guaranteed
by the associated banks and for ever,
certificate securities double the value
