William G. Boies, chairman of the Naugatuck war finance committee, said the borough would subscribe its $2,415,000 quota for the Sixth War Loan though the May sale of E bonds may fall slightly short. He noted brisk business and that bonds purchased through December 31 would count toward the total, but a late surge would be needed to reach the target.
