I Although the' prlviloEe of con. verting four per cent bonds Into noons drawing four and ono-quar. , ter per cent lntores. has been ex tended to holders of the first tw issues, tor the past two months, yet, according to the statements of prominent bankets here, there is still considerable misunderstand ing in regard to the regulations governing such a change. "I trust that many who have not yet availed themselves of the opportunity will do so at once,') said T. J, Scroggin, cashier of the United States National Bank, ''as nil right of conversion will be lost after November 9. We. cordially invite inquiry In regard to the matter." , Continuing, Mr, Scroggln briefly outlined the regulations as follows "Three and one-half . and four I or cent bonds alteady outstanding cannot be converted into new 10 year four and one-fourth per' cent bonds. "All the outstanding issues may be' converted Into new four and cre-quarter poi" cent bonds, but such four and one-quarter per cent bonds will not be Fourth , Liberty .uoan uonas. The four and one quarter per cent bonds issued on conversion will have the same dates for payment of interest, the same dales of maturity of principal and the same terms of redemption, as the bonds upon the conversion of which they have been Issued. "The tax exemption feature at tached to the original three and one-half per cent Issue Is, however, lost in conversion, and the four and one-quarter per cent bonds is sued in exchange for the throe and one-half and four per cent bonds now outstanding, enjoy only the exemption attached to the Third Liberty Loan ten-year four and one fourth ,per cent bonds. They will be receivable for estato and inher. itance taxes when owned continu ously for six months prior to the death of the holdier. ' "First loan thre and one-half and four per cent bonds, may be con verted into new first loan bonds the period of the life of tho bond (IS to 30 years), dato of matur ity (June 15, 1947), interest dates (June 15 and December 15) and uute of redemption (June 15, 1932) remaining the same. - "Similarly, second loan four per rent bonds may be converted into second four and one-quarter per cent bonds, the life of the bond (10-25 years), maturity (Novem ber 15, 1942), interest dates (May 16 and November 15) and date of -redemption before maturity (Nov ember 15, 1927) also remaining the same. The holders of the first end second liberty' fours have the right of converting their bonds into four and one-half per cent bonds on or before November 9, 1918. "The holders of --.Hie three and one-half per cent bondB have the privilege of co-rtlng their bonds Into any subsequent Issuo made during the period of the war ex cept short term obligations.
