Issue of the present sizes will be suspended April 30, a house | committee was told by Herrick | Bond, assistant treasury secretary in charge. Belween that date and July 1, bills usually regarded as unfit for circulation, and turned in by banks for treatment at the treasury money laundry or to be destroyed, will be kept at wark. “In that way this old size cur- rency will be pretty thoroughly exhausted,” Bond said. “It won't | be wasted. It won't be called in and cancelled.” | Some of the smaller bills of the | old sizes will not serve their usual ! nine months, the treasury off.cial said, but there will be little loss in making the exchange so far as United States currency is concern- {ed. He estimated the manufactur- | ing loss would be greater on the {0ld big denomination bills and federal reserve notes as thesc | would be still in good condition | | when finally retired completely, | It will take several months to complete the exchange after issue |of the small currency begins. For that period money of both sizes will be in circulation. > [391-401 Main Street, LOADS OF THE 8t. Eimo lodge, K. of P., will held ita regular meeting tomorrow eve- ning.
