Office for Federal Home 4
Loans To Be Opened Soon

The Home Owners Loan Corporation,
new federal Office to assist and relieve
distressed mortgaged home owners, will
be opened in Seattle within the week,
w. E. McCroskey, state head of the
new Federal Government unit for
| Washington, has announced.
The new loan agency will be ready
to receive applications for loans, pos
sibly within a week. Application blanks
are on their way and will be distributed
through civic clubs, chambers of COM
merce and other public bodies.
In a statement Mr.. McCroskey said
the applications will be acted on, not
so much in the order filed, but as to
the owners need The new law is pri-
marily to aid those whose homes or
places up to the value of twenty thou
sand dollars are in jeopardy because
of threatened foreclosure on mortgages,
and also those owners whose property
has already been foreclosed, but which
still can be redeemed.
"The most needy and most deserv-
Ing cases WILL, Oh COURSE, COIllc 4A1oO,
Mr.. McCroskey said. He pointed out
that the average case will require the
owner to get the consent of the mort
gage holder to exchange the mortgage
for the new per cent, 10 year govern
ment bonds. The new federal plan pro-
vides five per cent interest rate fol
the new mortgage given to the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, to run II
years. If the mortgage refuses to take
bonds and the mortgage and taxes ane
other encumbrances due are not in ex-
cess of 40 per cent of the value of the
property, the Corporation will loan the
mortgagor up to 40 per cent OF thu
value of the property, or so much az
is necessary to take up the mortgage
with cash, and take mortgage from
the home owner at Is years with In.
terest at per cent.
The new Federal Loan Office will b.
amply equipped to take care of tn
rush of business expected, McCroske,
said. Announcement of the exact loca
, ton of the new offices will be mad
, soon.

Explanation Of
Farm Loan Act
By Knute Hill
MATTERS OF VITAL INTEREST TO
ALL FARMERS ARE EX-
planned

While at present the nation at large
has turned it's attention to the National
Recovery Act and the efforts of the
President to rejuvenate business activ-
ity through increased buying power,
President Roosevelts earlier acts for
the relief of agriculture, are naturally
of greater interest to the residents of
the Priest Rapids Valley
In pursuance of the SpOkesman'S
policy to present to it's readers that
which is of the greatest value to them,
and in order to get an authoritative
outline of these Farm Relief measures,
the Spokesman has obtained an article
written by Cogresman Knute Hill. Mr..
Hill, who is member of the Irrigation
and Reclamation committee of the
House of Representatives, is we'll quail
fed to discuss these measures.
This article, which begins in this
issue of the Spokesman, will be con-
Guided next week. The following por-
ton of Mr. Hills article treats of the
methods by which farmers, heavily
burdened by mortgages, may obtain
loans from the Federal Land Banks
and the benefits accruing from such
loans.

BY KNUTE HILL,
Representative in Congress,
Fourth District of Washington

In submitting the report from the
Committee on Agriculture, Mr.. Jones,
the chairman, made the following gen.
eral statement:
1.-THE bill is designed to supply credit
for agricultural production and mar
keting. It is supplementary to the land
mortgage credit system provided for In
the Federal Farm Loan Act.
"While direct lending by the Govern
ment to farmers to finance their pro-
duction may be justified in cases OF
emergency, it is an unsatisfactory sys-
tenn of providing the required credit,
for it is too expensive, it cannot be suf-
f1ciently flexible to meet local needs,
and for other reasons it is not salts
factory method of furnishing essential
credit. The other policy Of permitting
such lending to be done entirely by
private agencies has been equally I'M
successful. Banks and other credit in
situations in many instances have been
either unable or unwilling to finance
production and, particularly in times
of economic stress, many farmers In
many localities have no possibility OF
obtaining loans for agricultural produc-

HILL ROAD rs
THREATENED
BY CHINOOK
Rapid Runn-O Off of Snow Wa
ter Washes Grades in Horse
Heaven; Danger Period is
Now Passed

County crews have been striving
since the first of the week to con-
troll flood waters, as they dash
down the steep Horse Heaven
hills endangering highways and
some farm property. The flood
waters has been the result of the
chinook melting the heavy snow
blanket covering the country.
County Commissioner ay Perry
reported Wednesday that the main
artery of travel, the Kennewick-
Plymouth highway, had suffered
much damage and was being
threatened at several points by
complete destruction. The Ply
mouth Paterson and Paterson
Prosser highways were reported
closed Wednesday when washouts
marooned Paterson, the hub of
construction on a section of the
North Bank highway, to motor
travel. The damage was being
hastily repaired to reopen the
highways.
Numerous crews have been sta
toned night and day guarding
road fills, keeping culverts open
and to direct the surging waters
along their courses. Although the
Plymouth Kennewick highway
has been kept open to light traf-
fici, waters have several times at
their peak flow, crossed over the
highway. A short distance below
the Coffin Sheep company head
quarters ranch, a six-foot culvert
was unable to handle the flood,
and waters cut deeply into the
road shoulded and did much dam
age to the main highway. A like
condition was encountered nearer
to town and the waters were on
the verge of taking out a long fill
of soft earth when the crest began
to fall.
With the most of the surface
snow now melted away, the dam
age point seemed past, but a close
guard is still being kept.
Numerous minor highways lead
ing to ranches throughout the
Horse Heaven region were report
ed to be badly damaged, and sew
eral reported complete washouts.

DOWN SCHOOL
BOND ISSUE
Proposition to Reduce Inter
est Rate on District War
rants Showed Under; To
Select Director Next

School patrons in District No.
II are determined that no bond is
sue of any sort will be passed UNI
der the present conditions. The
proposition put up last Saturday
for the purpose of cashing out
standing warrants in the sum of
$23. 900 by a bond issue to be tax
en- by the state, was defeated by
about two to one.
The proposition was primarily
one of economy, whereby the war
rants carried larger rate OF IN
terest than the bonds would have
required. The issue if passed,
would have saved the district
something over fifty dollars a
month.
Much misinforniation was cir
culated regarding the purpose of
the issue, although there were
some who were principally against
the idea of bond issue, even tho
it was for the purpose of saving
the district money.
Saturday of next week another
school election will be held at the
same time and place. The purpose
of this election is for the selection
of a director to succeed Dale
Smith, whose term expires. Else
where in this issue is statement
from Mr.. Smith declining to serve
another term. Several prospective
candidates have been spoken OF,
altho to the present time no pub
lie announcement has been made
from any candidate.
