Treasury Department An
nounces Special Arrange
ment for Transaction.

1t was announced today by officials
of the Treasury Department that spe-
cial arrangements to facilitate the
temporary liberty bonds for perma-
nent bonds have been made by the
division of loans and currency of the
Treasury. Under the plan local banks
will be able to procure the perma-
nent bonds direct from the Treasury
instead of having them shipped here
from the Richmond Federal Reserve
Bank.
Owing to the immense amount OF
detail! work involved. as announced
in yesterdays Star. George w. White
president of the National Metropolis
tan Bank, acting aS a committee OF
one appointed at q recent meeting
of the District of Columbia Banking
Association, interviewed the officials
of the Treasury Department to see
whether or not holders of bonds
could have them exchanged directly
at the Treasury. and today said:
Arrangements Explained.
'The officials of the Treasury have
notified me that holders of exchange
able bonds could have them eXchang-
ed at the east entrance of the Treas
ury. OF course. all local banks are
only too glad to help their depositors
straighten matters out. but Washing
ington being peculiarly situated. in
that it is in such close proximity to
the Treasury. we thought that it
might facilitate matters by having
holders of these bonds deal directly
with the Treasury"
After speaking of the splendid Co
operation Washington bankers had
given the Federal Reserve Board in
all such matters. officials of the
Treasury Department announced to-
day that holders Of eXchangeable
bonds would be attended to at the
east entrance of the building, where
an exchange booth will be erected.
The task of exchanging temporary
bonds for permanent bonds is a work
of vast proportions. since there is
outstanding approximately s60,000,000
of these temporary bonds, all of
which will have to be eventually ex-
changed for permanent bonds. These
exchanges will be made through the
various banks in the country which
will forward the temporary bonds to
