0OO certificates in such denominations
a. require 46. 160 signatures. Mr.. Acton
has written the Secretary of the Treasu-
~ he can sign two thousand times day,
or little more. He has written his
name 23OO times q day. but this is max
ing heavy demands upon his right hand.

named. New Orleans and San Fran

about 100000 Of certificates and will
want moro.
