file. four Swapping employees of the
Treasury Department rode on each
truck. A Treasury committee rode in
carriage.
The procession went to tho Navy
yard foundry, where the plates were
uncerem0niously dumped into one OF
the furnaces, to come out as pig steel
and to- be used for ballast for war
ships. There were twenty tons OF
plates, rolls and dies, from which
were printed last year $4,000, 900 in
gold and silver certificates Of various
and S8S9,000.O00 in
