S.) — If the life of every dollar bill cir culated in the United States can be prolonged two months, the Govern ment will annually save 91.666,000, according to Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon. "'During the last three years an unprecedented demand has develop ed for paper currency of the smaller denominations." Mellon explained. "This is particularly true of one- doltar notes, which are being used in increasingly large numbers, In order to supply the demand and meet redemptions of unfit and mu tilated dollar bills, it is necessary to print and put into circulation 4 8.- 000.000 of these bills monthly. "A note which is thus rushed through the process of manufacture becomes unit for circulation within seven or eight months of issue, whereas notes which have been giv en a reasonable period of seasoning will continue in circulation from ten to eleven months.” Mellon said that bankers are con stantly complaining of the poor quality of the paper money. The Treasury intends to build up a re serve supply of currency sufficiently large to keep a portion in the process of seasoning. A dollar bill oosts .017 cents to manufacture and keep in circula tion. The Treasury hopes to pro long the lite of every dollar bill by two month» at least In order to make the $1.606,000 savings. Mellon declared that ths 'building up of an adequate currency reserve will take time. "One way to facili tate the operation is to increase the number of silver dollars in circula tion.” he said. ‘“This the Treasury hopes to do. The number o silver dollars In use today Is far below nor mal. During the war Congress passed the Pittman act. authorizing the Treasury to melt standard silver dollars and sell them to the British Government In India. The greater portion of the silver thus sold was represented in currency by silver certificates, which were withdrawn from circulation. In addition to this decrease In the circulating medium, the numlwr of silver dollars In cur rent use has drooped rom 84.006,- 000. In 1919, to 54.000,000, July 1, 1924.
