new j. 5. LOAN
UNDERWRITERS
Is Oversubscribed "Three
or Four Times" Says
Morgenthau

WASHINGTON, July 9. (UP).
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., announced last
night that books have been closed
on the S500,000,000 long term
note issue. with the issue a "huge
success" oversubscribed "three or
four times"
The issue attracted particular
interest because it was at a new
low interest rate for this type of
borrowing. Offered at one and
three-eighth per cent, the notes
run five years and four months,
maturing Dec. Is, 1889.
The notes were offered to bring
I'D the cash balance which the
government has on deposit with
commercial banks and which had
sunk to $44S,000,00O following
heavy expenditures at the begin
ming of the new fiscal year.
Since the offering was the first
new money sought by the treas
ury since December the readiness
with which the market would alb
sorb the notes was watched with
particular interest.
1t was understood that later in
the week an announcement will be
made regarding new bond issue
to be offered probably at an auc-
ton basis. The size of the issue
has not been indicated.

ator J. w. Bailey has received
positive assurance that 81, 100000

the senate would pass the bill and
that the house would concur. The
iva appropriation was ,liminat-
ed from the deficiency bill In the
house.
The Hiawassee dam is to cost
$12,0 100000 and the $1,O0O,OOO
will be sufficient to move machln-
cry from the Norris dam, which IS
now nearing completion, to the
site for the Hiawassee dam. Inc
dam construction cost of $4,000
600 does not include the installa-
tion of power machinery, as this

crease continues through the re-
mainder of the year it is expected
