For Not Cashing Vouchers Woman May Lose Savings.
A government regulation may make the bulk of the savings of 80-year-old Mrs. Kate Coombs so much wastepaper. The aged woman for thirty years has hoarded the monthly $10 voucher she received for her care of machine covers in the bureau of printing and engraving. To-day her trunk contains 360 of the warrants calling for $3,600 from the treasury. But a treasury law provides that such vouchers must be cashed within two years of the date of issue.
An investigation of the vouchers will be made and they may be paid out of the “outstanding liabilities fund.”
