New London has done its bit in sub- scribing for the liberty loan bonds. After getting the reports’from all of the banks in the city, Judge William Beicher, chairman of the committee of bankers and prominent citizens who have conducted the campaign for the sale of the bonds, was able to an- nounce that over a million dollare’ worth had been taken. The report includes only subscrip- tions that have been sent to Boston or are now in possession of the banks. The amount in excess of $1,000,000 is something iike $30,000. Judge Belcher said he did not know the loan allotment for New London but was quite certain that the state- ment that it was $400,000 was incor- rect. He said that the loan of $2.000,- 000,000 divided among the 100,000,000 people of the United States puts a per capita allotment of $20 on every man, woman and child in the country. The New London district embraces, besides that city, Waterford, East L¥me, Gro- ton and Old Lyme, with a population in the agsresate estimated at about 45.000. Allotting $20 to each person in this district would sive New London an allotment of $900,000. “We have gone over the million” Judge Beicher said. “and so we are doing our part and more.” THE BONDS Total LIBERTY BONDS Norwich subscriptions announced.. 1209 $732,200 Norwich subscriptions yesterday .. 1291 THAT BIND No. Amount 317,800 “e.... 2,500 $1,050,000 ANOTHER TRIAL STARTED IN SUPERIOR COURT.
