After the Delinquents.

Governor Alexander has made II
plain that the borrowers of State
money must come forward with the
delinquent interest that is now due
the state on these loans and which in
the aggregate amounts to several
thousands of dollars.
Action preliminary to foreclosure
on loans of state funds on which the
borrowers have not paid the interest
was taken at a meeting of the state
land board held last week. A motion
made by the governor and seconded
by State Auditor Huston was spread
upon the minutes. under which all
such borrowers are to be notified that
they must Immediately pay the inter
est due or foreclosure will follow.
The governor. attorney general and
auditor were named as a committee
to take immediate action. They are
to see personally If possible all the
debtors of the state who have not
paid their interest and try to effect a
settlement The governor and au-
ditor plan to go into the field and in
terview the borrowers. They will
then report to the attorney general
who will take such action as may be
necessary to exact payment.
The motion applies to loans OF
which no interest has been paid sine,
1911, but in the near future thu
board plans TO take similar action il
regard to those on which the interes
} has been delinquent since 1913.
