E. G. Brown Will Take q Position
With New York Concern,

E. G. Brown, superintendent of the
allotment and allowance division of
the war risk insurance bureau, has
resigned, the resignation being eff
fective tomorrow. He will take a
position with a New York concern.
For many years Mr.. Brown was con-
nected with the pension bureau. He
was transferred from that bureau to
the Treasury Department October 4,
1917. and two days later he was
placed in charge Of the allotment
and allowance division of the war
risk insurance bureau.
From force of three persons the
personnel of the bureau was increased
until it reached 1000 employees owing
to the limited working space and the
great amount of work put upon the
division, MIR. Brown found it neces-
sary to organize his force into one
