C0UNTERFEI7S FOUND
 IN CIRCULATION HERE
Bogus Ten and Twenty Dollar Bills Passed On
 Storekeepers

Police desire to warn New Brit aims citizens to be on the lookout for spurious s10 and s2O bills which are known to be in Circula- ton here. Discovery of the bills was made. the police allege, by store keepers who were victimizcd last Saturday by unknown persons who passed several of the s20 notes.
 The notes of both denominations are drawn on the Federal Reserve bank and while none of the lesser sized bills has as yet been passed, the police are certain that they are in existence.
 These counterfeit bills may be readily recognized from the follow ing description. The s2O notes bear the portrait of Andrew Jackson and have q rather bleached appearance. They also bear q face plate under the serial letter Xxx and numb":' K-7 and a black plate number 45. These marks may be found if the bill is carefully scrutiniZed in the lower right hand corner just under the federal seal.
 The s10 notes bear the face plate I-14 and back plate humber 113 and a portrait of Alexander Ham, ilton.
