STATE LOAN BOARD
Will Not Approve Applica'
tions for Loans for the
Next Ninety Days

Owing to several applications
for State funds having been
made through the Arizona Title
and Abstract Company, and in
quiry having been made by the
applicants as to the status of
their loans, the Arizona Title and
Abstract Company have received
the following letter from the
State Treasurer. in answer to
their query made for their clients:
The State Loan Board, con-
sisting of the Governor, Secre-
tary of State and State Treas
urer, held a meeting, December
10th. at HOO a. m.
One application for a loan in
Graham county and four applica-
tions for loans in Yuma county
were approved. Four applica-
tions from Graham county and
two applications from Maricopa
county were disapproved, ac-
count of insufficient security and
other reasons.
After these approved loans will
have been concluded, there will
have been lent in Maricopa, Gra-
ham and Yuma counties a con-
siderable larger amount than
these counties were allotted by
the Loan Board in August, 1916.
So that no one county would be
favored at the expense of an
other county. the cultivated
acreage in the various counties
of the State was used as a basis
to determine the proportionate
amount that each county should
be entitled.
Money resulting from the sale
of University timber and insti-
tutiOnal grant lands only can be
lent, and, as all available funds
from this source have been put
out by the State treasurer on
farm lands, the board found il
advisable to approve no more ap.
plications until additional money
would be available. Ninety days
or more may have to elapse be.
fore any more loans will be ap'
proved.
So that no charge of unfair,
ness can be brought against the
Loan Board, the State treasurer
was directed to conclude loans or
farm lands in the following or,
der of precedence Those coun,
ties in which the allotted amount
has not been lent to be giver
first consideration and the appli
cation from these counties il
turn to be considered in the order
in which they were received by
the State treasurer. 1t is be
lieved that a strict adherence
will be favorable to all, ever
while it may work a considerable
hardship on few individuals.
There are on hand in the offic,
of the State treasurer over on,
hundred applications for loans
each of which will be given at
tention in the order of their re
ceipt, those counties first beini
served that have not received
Graham guardian., 1917-12-14

their proportionate allotment,
after which Maricopa, Graham
and Yuma county applications
will again receive attention.
At present over $40, 900 has
been lent on farm lands, secured
by first mortgages, which earns
interest at six per cent per an
mum.
While applications are still be-
ing received by State Treasurer
Johnson, those desiring quick
action should keep the above in
formation in mind.
