Government Seeks A Billion From Investors In 1930s Financing
Washington reports a billion dollar borrowing plan to fund recovery outlays. The government will sell 500 million of 13 1 2 month notes at 2 1 2 percent and 500 million of 7 1 2 month certificates at 1 1 2 percent, dated January 29 and maturing September 15 1934 and March 15 1935 respectively. Proceeds aim to push recovery expenditures past one billion this month as cash reserves dwindle to about half a billion. Internal Revenue gains rise with December collections over 300 million and January receipts at 134.31 million, yet still short of peace time peaks. The plan expands a six month 10 billion financing program, lifting the public debt toward 31 billion, above wartime highs.
