100000 BORROWED
BY STATE OF GEORGIA
Gov, Brown AnangeS Big Loan
to Pay Overdue Salaries of
s School Teachers

A loan for sos, O00-the sum total OF all
the state of Georgia is permitted to
borrow at any one time under the terms
Of the constitution-has been arranged
by Governor Brown and the money will
be in the treasury within the next two
or three days.
This loan was obtained from the Ma
tional Park bank. of New York, and
bears interest at the rate of 3 per cent.
1t is for a 9o-day period. but under the
terms of the arrangement the state viii
pay interest only for the actual time it
holds the money If any portion of the
100000 is paid back before the expira-
ton of the ninety days the interest on
such amount will then cease.
Governor Brown stated Saturday morn
ing that he had delayed borrowing any
money as long as was possible. He con-
siders it remarkable that the state did
not have to negotiate a loan early in
the summer, Is back in June it appeared
that money would have to be borrowed
to pay the expenses of the legislature,
which amount to something over $4,000
each session. Il
Out of the money borrowed the school
teachers of the state will receive an in
stallment of their overdue salaries. This
installment viii equal between and )
per cent. The governor expresses the
hope that they can be paid per cent.
The remainder of the loan will be used
to pay the expenses of the various
state institutions.
In the recent state election the voters
rratified an amendment to the constitu-
ton which win increase the borrowing
capacity of the governor to 100000. The
increase, however, will not be available
until after the next legislature passes
the necessary, enabling act.
Friday afternoon $4,000, the monthly
rental of the Western and Atlantic rail-
road, the state road, was paid into the
treasury, and a warrant was drawn for
