Liberty Bonds 
At my request and subsequently confirmed by the Board 
of Managers, the Treasurer purchased $5,000 worth of 
each of the first and second issues of Liberty Bonds, and 
employees were given the privilege of paying for these by 
instalments if desired. The total subscription has thus 
far amounted to about $9,200, but certain subscribers have 
indicated their desire to pay for additional bonds. The 
list of subscribers to one or the other issues, or to both, is
