Large Sum WillfBe Paid Transylvania
Ex-Soldiers Soon After 15th of Jane
Between $75,000 o.nd $126,000 will be
paid to veterans of Transylvania boun
ty Immediately after June 15. according
to Information received here from
Washington, D. C.
The payments will be made in bonds
which will be cashable at postoffices,
which have been designated by the
postmaster general, and through all the
postoffices which will act as agen.s
for the central offices. Asheville will be
tlie closest central office for this sec
tion. but payments can be secured
through the local office without the
veteran going to the central office.
In fact payment will be easier to se
cure on the bonds through the local
county postoffices, as the matter of
identification and other red tape will
have to be gone through when the
veteran goes in person to a central
office, like Asheville. Columbia, or
Charlotte.
WASHINGTON.—Postmaster General
Parley predicted that "payment on a
great majority" of the bonus baby bonds
"will be made within one week of June
15, the first date of payment."
Farley announced final plans for
delivering the bonds to veterans, and
arrangements for veterans to cosh In
their bonds if they choose.
The bonds will be mailed out to the
45,000 post offices June 15 from Wash
ington and from the 11 Federal Reserve
centers at Roston. New York. Philadel
phia. Cleveland. Atlanta. Chicago. St.
Louis. Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas
and SanFrancisco.
Mail carriers have been given instruc
tions to "go out of their way whenever
necessary with a view to effecting de
livery," Farley said. The bond packets
must be delivered to the veteran In par
son. and not to another person or firm
at the veteran's address.
The bonds will bo in $50 denomina
tions with accompanying checks to co
ver the odd amounts.
To collect cash, the veteran must
have his bonds certified through his
local post office.
"If the veteran is personally known
to the postmaster or designated em
ploye. witnesses are not necessary,”
, Farley said "If he is not known, one or
1 two witnesses who know the veteran
and who are known to the certifying
officer must sign the bonds In the space
provided.
"Space is also provided on the bond
for taking fingerprint Impressions in
exceptional cases. The method of identi
fication is within the discretion of the
postmaster. Postmasters will find vet
erans’ organizations interested and will
ing to render all assistance possible."
"Upon the surrender of Ills bond at
the post office, following proper Identi
fication. the veteran will receive an
interim receipt until such time as he
receives bis bond payment, all of which
will be by special Treasury Department
cheek supplied to the paying postoffice."
Post offices in 241 cities have been
designated as paying centers for their
districts, and 59 large city offices have
been empowered to pay on bonds issued
outside their own districts.
The total number of North Carolina
veterans who will get baby boudsv in
multiples of $50 and checks for the odd
amounts is 63,961. owing to the large
number of the sons of the Old North
State who answered the call In 1917-1S.
The total sum that will go to the tenth
district alone is $4,569,524.97.
Other places in the State designated
ns paying offices beside Charlotte are
Asheville, Durham. Greensboro, Raleigh,
and Winston-Salem, with Asheville and
Raleigh made paying offices for their
respective postal district areas. By pay
ing offices is meant the post office
where veterans may go and get cash
on their bonds or checks when pay
ments begin June IB.
Upon the surrender of his bond at
the post office, following the proper
identification, the veteran will receive
an interim receipt until such time as he
receives h!s bond payment, all of which
will be by special Treasury Department
check supplied to the designated paying
post offices.
A.t post offices other than the desig
nated paying offices, the postmasters
will forward the certified bonds to the
designated paying offices where the
veterans’ checks will be drawn, and
mailed at no expense to the veterans.
