Payroll Checks Issued To-day (Continued from Page 1) bury banks will issue scrip remains to be determined. Austin L. Adams president of the Colonial Trust Company returned to Waterbury today from New York, where he arranged for the issuance of scrip to the local clearing house if needed. He is one of the committee of three bankers chosen at Monday's meeting to make all necessary arrangements for a substitute for currency, if the occasion warrants it. No decision will be given out until congress convenes tomorrow. Whether scrip will never be used in this city and whether the banks will reopen for general business Friday, Saturday or next Monday morning will be known within the next 24 or 48 hours. The Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce were notified today again as to what was expected of them. They are expected to accept factory payroll checks and those issued by the city of Waterbury up to a reasonable amount in exchange for merchandise or in payment of a bill. They are to be provided with sufficient fluid currency to carry on their business. They will be able to obtain cash daily during the emergency at the Menchants Trust company, but it will be a cash-for-cash proposition. No checks will be accepted for cash. To co-operate with the merchants the city of Waterbury and the factories issue checks ranging from $1 to $20. Most of the checks, however, are $1, $5 and $10. Merchants are expected to return the checks as change in any transaction. The whole arrangement is expected to be only of a few days duration. All banks are expected to be open for general business not later than Monday and they will take over the task of cashing of all payroll checks. The question has been asked thousands of times to the effect, what does a person receive for change if he makes a purchase and gives a check for $1 to a storekeeper in payment of an article valued at 30 cents. He will receive 70 cents back in quarters nickels, dimes or what the merchant has conveniently at hand. He is not obliged to take any credit slip or a specially devised scrip for use only in that particular store. If a merchant wishes to carry on business he is expected to carry sufficient change and to be reasonable in his dealings. The New Haven railroad owing to the conditions resulting from the bank holiday has announced a curtailment of service throughout New England. Busses running between Waterbury and New Haven on the New England Transportation company's lines are also affeeted.

Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
