Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, presi- dent general of the society and chair- man of the buflding committee, and Mrs. Alfred Brosseau, national treas- urer general, were empowered by the meeting to issue bonds up to an amount necessary to cover that part of the building costs which the so- clety will not handle itself. It is planned to pledge part of the property occupled by Memorial Continental Hall as security for the bonds. The Daughters of the American Revolution are undertaking to raise the money for their new auditorfum through a number of ways. The bulk, of course, will be obtained through the bond issue. In addition, however, con- siderabfe money has already been do- nated outright by individual members and chapters, and now the privilege of naming the various 4,000 or more seats and boxes for individuals or chapters 1s to be eold for sums rang- ing from $150 to $1,500. i The bonds will be sold in denomina- tions of $50, $100 and $1,000, and will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, maturing in 20 vears. The National Metropolitan Bank has been desig- nated repository. Demand for the bonds is reported to be tremendous, and it is hoped the entire issue wili subscribed by the time the next Continental Congress convenes, next April 19, SAY SPIES CONFESSED.
