Comptroller Murray said:
"In some few instances the exam
ners are not to blame for failing to
discover dishonesty, but It Is difficult
to convince the public of this fact. so
that the effect Is just the same. But
,in many instances subsequent investi
cation has shown that the failure Of
the examiner In this respect was due
wholly to defective methods, hasty or
perfunctory examinations, or absolute
+ incofhpetency.
+: 1.-THE examiner should In every in
stance inform himself in regard to the
value of every note and collateral
found in the. bank and the financial re-
sponslbility of all makers and endors-
ers Of paper While an examiner
should consult freely with the officers
and some of the directors of the bank
in respect to It's assets, he should by
no. means, accept their statements as
conclusive, but should satisfy himself
by discreet inquiry through other reli-
able sources of information, especially
In regard to any paper that he is not
familiar With or concerning which he
has any doubt.
IF getting fees from the bank is
more important to you than getting in
formation. about the bank for me, then
resign at once. The time for careless
methods has gone by, and 1t should
have gone by long ago, for in the gov
ernmefft service do not know of a

Thereafter If mans work in one
district is not up to the standard re-
quired, he. will be temporarily assigned
to another, and If in this second as
signment his work still continues to
be belowrpar, his resignation will be
asked, When an examiner finds bank
unsatisfactory he should not simply
report the facts to the comptroller, and
thenshurry away to another bank to
obtain another fee. He should convene
the board of directors, insist In an inn
mediate correction instead of leaving
sit'to tire comptroller as many examin.
ers do, to undertake to accomplish
through correspondence what the eX-
aminer should endeavor to do on the
