A DENIAI.-The Secretary Of the Treasury
denies the published statement to the effect
that he had authorized the destruction OF
$40 OC0, 600 worth OF the new funded loan bonds
because they were so badly executed that he
deemed them unit to 60 to the public, aud
therefore the engravings were destroyed. Sec
rotary Boutwell, did order the destruction of a
number OF sheets upon which the backs of
$4,000 bonds of the new loan had been printed
AZ the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
AZ the Treasury Department, but his reason
Tor ordering the destruction was that he
determined to have the backs printed in
New York instead OF dere, and not on
account of the work being badly executed.
The bonds were not finished, and the loss occa-
stoned by the destruction is simply the value
OF the sheets OF paper. After mature delibe-
ration, he determined that the backs should be
printed by the New York companies, and the
bOnds completed at the Treasury Department
Treasury Department probably surpass any
similar work in the country, az the mos, expart
ensrayers are employed, and 1t has always been
acknowledged that their work was of a very
high order. The bank. note companies are con-
stantiy making efforts to get all the work from
the Treasury Department, and OF course, il i.
their interest TO make ii appear that work AT
the Treasury Department il badly executed.
