The post-season fairyland of bulging
pocketbooks, luxurious indulgence, night
ly movies and extravagant trip planning
was jolted into ohoas when the first ten
thousand dollars of USE checks given by
the tyueon Fisheries was returned to those
who cashed them in good faith.
The Q;Ucon was the biggest pay-off oper
ator on this river this year and boosted
Dillingham residents* inoomo Try thousand!*
of dollars—but, it was most regrettable
that the dollars were written on checks
that turned out to be rubborl
This sounds like a calamitous situation
but word cornea from Seattle that these
checks may he redeemable soon. It seems
that the Q,ueon operates on a s-t-r-e-t-chy
financial basis and the checks issued here
were attempting to clear through the bank
before the actual backing had been estab
lished with the bank!
Me would offer this suppesti on--if the
checks clear this year and if the Queen
operates here next year-tho/ET all checks
issued in pay-off settlements should be
post dated in order to eliminate another
disillusionment comparable to the one we
just experienced#
