Johnson as- sured me that everything was all right. Why did MT. Johnson de- ccive me? Why did he not confide in City Engineer Merriam?
 Undermined to bring about an audit of city books. once more to the common coun- cil, in my annual message, that this be done, and I went to the board of finance and taxation with the same idea in mind.

 We have passed through several troublous and embarrassing months as result of the clerks failure to execute his work in the proper way. and the comptroller's failure to do what he should have known to be his duty.

This New Jersey Man Gained 2o Pounds

One Atlantic City man who needed 2S more pounds took McCoy's Tab lets for s weaks and gained the flesh he wanted. One thin woman gained 15 pounds in five weeks thanks to McCoy's and a young woman from Alabama writes that her weight jumped from 109 to 125 after taking only three boxes of McCoy's.
 Mccoy takes all the risk-Redd this ironclad guarantee. If after talk ing 1 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health your money will be returned.
 Just ask for MCCoy's Tablets at Fair Drug Dept. or any drug store in America.

BANKERS SHOW
CONFIDENCE

NEW YORK, Oct "a CU. Sl.--Il-
Illuminating comment on today's ex-
citing events on the stock exchange

business men. In general they
agreed as to the fundamental sound
ness OF industrial and business CON
ditions. Their comment follows:
A. f. Lefcourt. banker.
Basic conditions throughout the
country were never better in
commercial way. cannot see
that the crash in the stock mar
ket vii! have any harmful effect,
so long as conditions remain as
they are today"
James A. Beha, chairman OF the
board of the international Ger
manic Trust Company:
There can be nothing lasting
about the present depression III
the stock market. This country
is too prosperous and its re-
sources are too large. There Is
nothing basiCally wrong"
Otto II. Kahn, banker;
1.-THE wise man keeps silent.
The stock market tells its own
story"
Darwin r. James, president OF
the East River Savings Bank;
IL believe that we are at the
end of the downward movement.
Henry Mandel. head of the Henry
Mandel Associates:
"Those who paid cash for their
stocks still have them. THIS
country's prosperity rests on
firm foundation. Those who have
their stocks, I believe, will some
day see them selling for more
than they paid for them"
James s. Bache, banker and invest
ment broker:
81 think we saw the worst today
and probably the lowest prices ior
a great many months to come.
L.F. Loree. president of the Dela'
ware and Hudson railroad:
'"The present stock activity,
feel, will not affect business in gen
eral, AS for criticism of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, nothing they
have done or have failed to do mas

effect it may have had on the
stock market"
