LOAN TOTAL FOR CITY IS PLACED
 AT S2,33S,45O

The Liberty Loan drive in this city received 0 severe set back in the past "A hours when sales amounting to only $2S2,0O0 were reported to headquarters. This brings the official total for the campaign to $2,33s, ,450. The unofficial figure Is placed at s6, 300, 900, but head quarters can only figure officially the amount reported.
 As result of the falling off in sales yesterday 1t is now necessary for Bridgeporters to subscribe $500, 900 per day for the remainder of the campaign to put this city over the top.
 Beginning today boy scouts will start g. house to house canvass in an effort to round up every person in the city who has not already purchased 8 bond. The committee Is eagerly look ing forward to the outcome of this drive as in previous bond campaigns the boy scouts have aided materially.
 The factory campaign is getting hot. Inspired by the repeated slogans of Beat Your Own Record' and Double the Third,' many Bridgeport factories are already far ahead of their record in the third campaign although their canvass is far from complete. We publish today a list of the 20 factories making the best showing in this re- spect, arranged in the order of the percentage increase over the Third Loan. The figures are for employees subscriptions only and do not include | corporation subscriptions. This list will be changed from day to day as different factories add to their totals and as others climb up into the First Twenty" Today's list follows.
