Farmers heavily indebted can, under
0 special provision of the farm mortgage
act, obtain a new type Of loan aimed TO
provide relief they particularly need
to tide them over until more prosperous
times
That act authorized the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation to make
5000. .000,0 900 available to the Farm
Credit Administration for loans to
farmers. on either first or second mort
cages. of up to rs per cent OF the ap-
praised normal value of the farmers
property. less prior mortgages or liens
on his property.
Loans Of 13 Years.
1t IS with farm lean commissioners
that farmers must file loan applica-
tions. :,
Requests already have been received
for $1,000 in loans.
The maximum loan to any farmer Is
5000, with interest at per cent.
The average loan is expected to be
less than $500.
The loan can be made for periods up
to 13 years.
In the case Of 13-year loans, the
farmer need only pay interest the first
tnree years. AlCeI GIldI Ilt Will iiohC
annual or semi-annual payments on the
principal until it is retired after 10
years.
Typical Case Cited.
This is a typical case in which the
loan is expected to be of value:
A farmer has mortgage on his land
and a lien on his cattle. sheep and
horses. He has fallen behind In pay
naents Of interest and principal and Is
threatened with foreclosure.
An appraisal of his property shows its
normal value. covering land and chat
tek, is $4,000. His debt total Is $500.
It is possible in his case to make a loan
up to $1,000.
The loan is made. secured by a sec
ond mortgage on his land and property.

of immediate foreclosure.
The hope of the administration IS
that farm income will be improved In
time to make it possible for him to re-
tire the bigger debt.

FEENEY HITS AT FRY
ON DRAUGHT SALES
Offers to Enforce 80 Law
With Directors Staff.

IF Paul Fry. state excise director
doesn't care to enforce the beer law.
let him turn his twelve inspectors
over to my department and I will
take that responsibility"
This, in substance, is the proposal
put to Pleas Greenlee, secretary to
Governor Paul v. McNutt. today by
AL Feeney, chief OF the state safety
department. under which the state
police function.
Feeney wrote Greenlee letter
with this suggestion and also re-
port on the draught beer sales at
TT. Wayne, where he visited Mon
day
Despite the increase of draught
beer sales in northern Indiana. Fry
has adhered TO the view that his is
not an enforcement Office. No per-
mits have been revoked.
He has a staff OF undercover men
gathering data on violations. and II
is this group that Feeney asked to
transfer TO him, saying he would
carry out more vigorous enforce
ment.
Greenlee said that no action
would be taken on Feeney's sugges-
ton until the Governor returns next

STEAL STREET
TO Get FUEL.
Works Board Finds All
Wood Blocks Missing;
What to DO!

Please bring back our street.
This plea was voiced today by
city works board members TO per-
sons who carried away East Ohio
street, between Dixie and Oriental
streets.
Making an inspection trip, board
members and City Engineer A. H.
Moore visited the wood block street.
to decide on repairs to hold it until
next year. when all wood block
streets are TO be removed.
To their amazement they found
no street" there All the wooden
blocks had been removed by fuel
saving citizens.
What the board had expected
merely to be a problem of how "a
find funds to make repairs to the
street became a greater problem
that of what TO do now.
The city has no funds with which
TO resurface or pave the section of
street this year, President Walter c.
Boetcher said. He added that it
may be necessary TO resurfec it tenn
porarily with old wooden blocks SAL
yaged from other wooden streets.
Board members attributed the
theft of the street blocks TO stor-
les published Wednesday announc-
ing that all block streets would be
resurfaced next year.
In several cases. contractors re-
paving such streets have permitted
the public TO carry away the old
wooden blocks for fuel.
