HOLIDAY IS
Held INVALID

AUSTIN. Nov. 27.-4F- Efforts
OF the Texas legislature to ease
me burden OF debt-ridden property
owners during the economic emer-
Eency by declaring a moratorium
against mortgage foreclosures was
imperative Thursday under a de-
cisicn Of the Texas supreme court.
The supreme court Wednesday
ruled invalid q law authorizing
judicial stays Of mortgage fore
closure proceedings In deserving
cases on the ground II violated q
constitutional provision prohibiting
the impairment OF the obligation
OF contracts. On similar grounds n
ruled unconstitutional Q law to
prohibit the taking Of deficiency
judgments In cases where real
property sold 20 satisfy a debt fall
Cd to bring It's actual market value.
The moratorium law followed
closely the Minnesota statute which
was upheld last January by the
United States Supreme Court In q
five to four decision.
In an exhaustive 37-page optn-
ION. concurred In by all members
Of the court and the commission
OF appeals, Chief Justice Cureton
ruled the statute to be an unlaw-
ful exercise OF the states police
power. The contention that the
law affected only the remedy"
and not the "obliFation' OF the con-
tract was declared by the court TO
be without merit"
The law permitted property own
ers In danger Of foreclosure to
petition the district court for .
stav contingent on proof OF in
ability 10 pay. that the property
could not bring It's market value
IL sold at forced SAL that the
value of the property exceeded the
debt and would not be abused,
that there was a reasonable pros
pect OF liquidating the obligation.
The property owner also would
agree TO pay q reasonable rental
value to the mortgage holder dur
ing the suspension period.
