The following is a cOpy of the statement as it appeared in the Herald. (Statement omitted), “At the date of your Statement there was due on interest on account of the construction bonds of $3,000,- 000, $70,666.66 being in_ interest from Aug. 1 to Dee, 31, 1 ($1,400,000 at 6 percent and $1,690,000 5 1-2 percent.)
