Inquiries made of several of tbe parties cashing tb check, dis closed tbe fact that they were not worrying about their moneyv While not beimr able to rive a reason for the bank refusing to honor tbe check of th firm, issuing them, had heretofore been paid promptly, it waa thought by some that wholesale forgery bad been committed. Inquiries made of several of the parties cashing the checks, disclosed the fact that they were not worrying about their money. While not being able to give a reason for the bank refusing to. honor th checks it wa the consensu of opin ion that the trouble is due to a misun derstanding. It 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 a delay in adjusting matters. By some it is thought that the contractors have not received payment due them, as they expected, and as a consequence funds that they supposed were in the bank have not been placed there. No doubt the matter will be straight ened out, in a few days, and more will be learned as to the cause of the re fusal of apyment of the checks.
