Nor was the Rev. Melchisedec Bell‘
weiher backward in suggesting the
menus of furthering the general pros-

he. explained to the mayor that the city
was suffering from a lack of a circulat—
iun medium. In his humble way he had
some knowledge of financial methods.
and suggested a plan to relieve the
ntxiugcucy. In the business world, the
transfcr of goods and properties were
tun! cash. Notes of hand or promissory '
notes figured largely and facilitated
business. In fact. he had used them oc‘
casionally himself with gratifying re-
suite.
'l‘liiii remarkably simple plan was at;
