cles when the final returns showed
that the city and counties outside the

With a tremendously successful fin
ish, the city ran it's final total up to
$14,75O,OOO, oversubscribing its quota
$1,575,1O with the unprecedented and
totally unexpected total of 25,521 sub
scribers.
With six counties missing, the state
outside of Denver subscribed $5,343,579
or $902,479 over the quota.
The total quota for the state, includ-
