amount.
After it's presentation the bonus

amount of the adjusted service
credit would be 81 day for domes-

The adjusted certificate would
have a face value of 3.015 times the
total amount of the adjusted service
credit. Until Jan 1. 1926 banks
would be authorized to loan to the
veteran and amount equal to so
per cent of the certificate. After
