sHoRTENs REDEMPTIoN TIME
Noftzger Amendment May Reduce It
to Six Months.

Senator Noftzger's amendment viii
become a part of the mortgage redemp-
ton law as it has been recommended
for passage by the committee of the
whole in the house of representatives.
The amendment tends to shorten the
time in which a man may redeem pro-
perty after the expiration of the mort
gage. As the law now stands he has IS
months in which to do it. The provision
of the new bill is that the property goes
TO the MORTGAGE after six months if it
is not occupied by the person giving the
mortgage. The mortgagor may have a
year and a half to redeem the property
if he gives bond not to waste the land
or buildings and pays rent for their
use. In case he redeems the property
the rent paid is credited to the amount
paid for the redemption.
