7 Suggested Procedure for filling out Form 404.
Please reaJ the entire apecimon form (Pr inted matter as well as figures)
before making any entries on the original form.
Note that accrued interest on the 90fo pa1ment is comput~d by multiplying
the par value amount of bonds fo r which payment is completed November 21, 1918, by
$2.94231 per $1,000. This method simplifies the calculation and makes due allowance
for the fact that 10% was paid with applicati on . No accrued intArest is to be paid
at this time on the 20% payment.

,,

Note also that the total amount of Coupon Bonds desired, plus the total
amount of Regist ered bonds ordered, exactly equa ls the par value of bonds on which
payment is completed November 21, 1918.
Certificates of Indebtedness to be applied as payment on bonds must be
listed on Form C.I.110 and such certifi cate s must accompany Form 404 (November 21st
payment letter). If cer tif icate s are NOT in your possession, attach a letter to
