7654. Mr. Anderson merely acts as your banker?-Yes.
7655. He draws the money as the chairman of the Board?-Yes; and it is handy for me, because I get the small change from him that I require.
7656. How often does it happen in the course of a year that you give an order of that sort?-I could not say how often it happens. I only remember one other instance of it just now, besides the one I have referred to. The person called here, and I did not have the change; and as the person was going to Hillswick, I gave a note on Mr. Anderson to give the money. But it is not at all a common practice.
