LOAN BOARD
HAS 100000
TO HELP RANCHERS

-
By the act Of the last Legislature,
there vas placed at the disposal Of
the State Farm Loan Board $780,
O0O.O0 to which sum may be added
that part Of the unused funds appro-
priated by the former Legislature,
making a total of over $4,000 ,O0O.44
available at the present time for farm
loans in Wyoming under very advan-
tageous terms to the borrower.
The intent of the Legislature of
1923 was to increase the amount that
could be loaned to one person, as well
as liberalize the conditions under
which a loan could be made. Unfor-
u~nately b ysome mistake, the section
dealing with the larger amounts was
miswritten and hence has been deem
ed Unconstitutional" So the Farm
Loan Commissioner will have to con-
fine the loans to the amounts as given
in the old law "with 100000 as the
limit"
Loans can be made from $4,000
according o the valuation of the pro-
perty put up for security. These
loans carry the low rate of 5 per cent
interest per annum and are payable
either by the thirty year amortiza-
ton plan or can be settled in full after
the loan has run for five years or
over, amortization payments made
annually. The Board is allowed to
loan 40 per cent of the appraised
value of a property or 60 per cent of
the average assessed valuation of that
property, provided it has been assess
ed for three years. Do not make ap-
plication for more than it lies within
the power of the Board to grant under
this law as it will naturally have to
be refused.
The only expense attached to an ap
%plication. making request for a loan
from the State Farm Board consists
of a $500 deposit which goes to-
wards paying the appraiser in making
the valuation of the land and provid
ed his charges are less than the afore-
said $500, the balance will be refund
ed to the applicant, and the cost at
tached to making out an abstract that
will pass the examination of the At
torney General The abstract must
accompany the application but need
not be extended until loan is approx
ed by Board.
No land owner can borrow money
under more liberal terms than those
offered by the State Farm Loan
Board. Not only is the interest rate
lower than any money can be obtain
ed from any other source, but the
terms of settlement are liberal and
the cost of obtaining the loan is the
smallest possible charge compatible
with the necessary work entailing the
saftey Of loan. 100000 borrowed
On the 80 year amortization plan is
paid off in thirty years by paying
$65.05 annually, which takes care Of
principal and interest as well.
