The minimum apportioned to the At
lanta district is SSO,OO0,OOO.

each district is expected to do, and
may be entirely upset by the actual
subscriptions. In making the appor-
tionments, officials used two bases of
su oscriptions the minimum of $1,000
100000 and IAN expected amount" of
S5,OOO,O 900, 600.
Apparently in Offering the second
issue officials hope to realize s5,-

In the apportionment to each dis
trjct the first figures given represent
the minimum, and the second, the
amount expected to be subscribed.
The figures follow:

In each case the announcement
reads. 'the amount has been complet-
C on the percentage basis, and while
the banking resources OF each district
have been given large considera-
tions other factors have been taken
irto account, such as the income tax
collected from each district, the as
sossed value of property therein, the
subscriptions received from each dis
trict to the first Liberty loan and the
amount of bonds allotted on such sub
scriptions, the capital available for
bend investment i'm each district and
the populations"
The basis of apportionment thus
varied materially from that used in
the first Liberty loan when the bank
ing resources of each federal reserve
district were the sole basis of calcu-
lation.
Governors of the federal reserve
banks have been notified by Secretary
McAdoo of the appOrtionments.
