masters as soon as the supply of the

black color. The design is the result
of the determination of the govern.
ment to devise anote which could not
be raised from the amount for
which it was issued. This point is Sc
cured by the removal Of the vertical
row Of figures signifying dollars in
the old note, and the substitution of q
set of coupons at the lett Of the notes,
each representing dollar. For Q
note Of $l.25 the dimes and cents will
be punched in the new note from rows
