11,849 Grants Made During
First Three Months by
Bureau.
$4,289,013.99 TOTAL
ALLOWED SINCE 1927
Views of Officials That Requests
Would Decrease Are Met by
Steady Demand.

An unexpected flow of veterans is
pouring into the regional cifice of the
United States Veterans Bureau to bor-
row money on their World War adj
justed service certificates.
Whereas officials had thought that

demand for loans would let up, there
has been a steady demand.
During the first three months of this
year, ending March 81, the local Office
made 11,849 loans to veterans, totaling
$793,172.46.
Few Redeem Certificates.
Since the first loans were made on

of March of this year, the local office
has loaned out on bonuses $4,289, 01399
on 36.893 adjusted compensation GER
tificates.
A few veterans have been redeeming
certificates, those who have called at
the bureau and paid back their loans
amounting to only $50 out of the more
than $4,000.
There also have been several ere
peaters," veterans who have come back
the second time after their certificates
have acquired new loan value, so that
the number of loans has mounted to
1851. more than the total number of
certificates on hand.
Time Limit Is Extended.
Loans are still being made, but they
can be issued only on certificates which
