comprised in the period from May I, 1913, up to and including April 30, 1914, will likewise be obliged to subscribe to this forced loan to the extent of one-half of the amount thus distributed as dividends. The amount of participation in the forced loan was based on the assessed value of property as of May 1, 1914, as determined under the Property Tax for the year 1914-1915. The schedule of participation was as follows: Requisite Participation in Assessed Value of Property % of Property (to near est 200 Florins) 75,000 up to and inch iding 99,000 1 100,000 " " " ' 124,000 1.5 125,000 it a " ' 149,000 2 150,000 a a 1 ' 199,000 2.5 200,000 " " " ' 299,000 3 300,000 " " " 399,000 3-5 400,000 " " " ' 499,000 4 500,000 " " " ' 749,000 4-5 750,000 " " " ' 999,000 5 1,000,000 " " " ' 1,499,000 5-5 1,500,000 ' " ' 1,999,000 6 2,000,000 a a " ' 4,999,ooo 6.5 5,000,000 and 0 ver. 7 The 5% voluntary loan was over-subscribed and compulsory subscription was not resorted to. Method of Payment—Subscriptions upon allotment to over 600 florins were payable 40% February 8, 1915, 20% March 8, 1915, 20% April 7, 1915, and the balance July 7, 1915, with accrued interest. The amounts to be paid for the first two installments were rounded off to the next highest multiple of 100 florins; that of the third installment to the next lowest multiple of 100 florins. Subscriptions upon allotment to less than 700 florins were payable in accordance with the- following table : Installments to Be Paid Amount Allotted 1 2 3 4 100 100 200 100 100 300 100 100 100 400 100 100 100 100 500 200 100 100 100 600 200 200 100 100 with accrued interest. Any or all installments could be paid in advance after January 31, 1915, provided such prepayments were in multiples of 100 florins. Payments made before February 8, 1915, were without accrued interest. The Government reserved the right to refuse to accept the fourth installment payment (see Note). Collateral Privilege—Bonds of this loan were accepted by the Netherlands Bank as collateral at 95. Commission—Bankers, brokers and jobbers were allowed a 130
confmission of one-fourth of one per cent of the amount allotted to them on condition that they were established in Holland or in the Dutch Indies with an office in Holland. Those subscribing to 1,000,000 florins or more and who agreed not to dispose of more than 25% of the amount allotted to them within six months after the date of payment were allowed one-fourth of one per cent. Note—It was explained in some of the newspapers of Holland that the right to refuse the fourth installment was reserved by the Government in order that the amount of the allotment might be reduced in case the war should end before the payment of the last installment. This was made possible by issuing definitive bonds for each installment payment. 131
