Government faces first billion-dollar payoff on savings bonds
Washington reports the U S government will pay off the first fully matured small size savings bonds this year. Officials say current sales greatly exceed redemptions, so net intake covers most payments on ten year bonds. In 1949 new Series B purchases reached 4.207 billion while redemptions totaled 3.447 billion, leaving a 760 million margin, a 58 percent gain over 1948. To meet 1.002 billion due on 1940 Series D bonds, the treasury plans to intensify E bond sales.
