attorney, the Government will not acknowl-
edge them unless the power is on file with

Government requires q certified copy of the
resolution of the Board Of Directors en-
towering such officer to indorse and dispose
of such notes.

not made TO cover fraud. ~

required to indorse them, thrfssy guaran-.

liable if they pass any kind of forgery or
firregularity through their hands; hence
preference is given to notes with the payFes
name only on the back. =
