Mr. Macveagh, Il am inclined to
think the change would cause little II
any Inconvenience and would quickly
be commended by the people. The

would not wear from folding and at
the same time could be handled more
readily by cashiers, tellers and clerks
We have carefully experimental
with bank clerks and tellers in the
city of Washington and learn that the
smaller notes do not tend to cramp
the hands Of persons manipulating
them. The smaller notes could be
more closely packed on the counters
OF the banks and twenty-five per cent
more could be stored in the vaults
The only objection to adopting the
smaller notes which seems to me of
special importance Is that for some

! IF it is decided to remodel our
paper currency along the lines pro
posed, am sure that in doing so we
can make great improvements in the

more appreciation for harmonious

In which the seal on the right side of
the note and the denomination num-
eral on the left are printed. The
printing of these will continue to be
done by a separate process, hence
the distinction suggested involves no
additional expense. The name of the
class will be repeated as many times
on the face and back Of the note as
at present.
The department might feel war
ranted In proceeding to change the
designs Of the notes without awaiting
suggestions OF banking institutions
but a somewhat different PROPOSE
ton IL presented in the plan to reduce
the sizes of the notes to six by two
and one half inches. The department
recognizes that public convenience is
more or less involved in system te

pocket books of the country have

ultimately from the use OF somewha,

State Net Ts Borrsw Money.

It has not been found necessary by
State Treasurer d. o. Moore to issue the
$50, 900 certificates of Indebtedness au.
thorized by the last Legislature to meet
the general expenses of the State for the
year 1909 This indicates that the State
finances are far better than was forecast
ed during the early part OF the year, and
there is no deficiency but on the contra
ry there is likely to be a surplus at the
end of the present year.
The financial outlook for the State was
not very good during February and
March last, as the fees from incOrpora-
tions and other sources were falling off,
and it was feared that there would not be
enough money in the State treasury to
meet the general expenses Of the State
for 1909. The subject was considered at
length by the members Of the Legislature
and the result was the enactment of a
law authorizing the State Treasurer to
borrow up to $4,000 by issuing notes or
certificates Of indebtedness of 81, 900 each
dated from December l, 1909, as might
be necessary to meet the expenses of the
State. The law provided that the certii
Gates should be signed by the Governor,
Of State and State Treasurer,
which officials we're to arrange for the
sale or disposition of said notes of indeb-
tedness.
During the year the revenues of the
State have been much greater than we're
anticipated, and Governor PenneWill and
State Treasurer Moore and Secretary Of
State Smithers have not found it neces-
AIRY to issue the certificates Of indebted
less.
Evidently the inpouFing Of revenues is
