Reports received from alleged VIC
Tins of "loan sharks" however, are
on loans made on secured collateral
at rates exceeding the allowed
per cent monthly.
Two auto loan dealers are to ap-

The bureaus advice to all Dor
rowers is that they insist on detailed
information from any company with
which they sign contracts, explain

Recently mounting complaints of
loan shark" activities here have re-
vealed that, although licenses for
small loan and auto finance COM
panies are required annually, none
have been issued at the License Bu-
reau for three years.
Chatham T. Nottingham, assistant
director of the bureau, said the fact
that no licenses are outstanding
means in effect that any such
agencies in the District are operating
virtually without supervision.
A check was made at the bureau,
Mr.. Nottingham said yesterday, fol-
owing receipt of complaints of ex-
brilliant loan fees and assessments,
Including one instance where $1,000
was reported paid In return for a
$7o0 loan.
The money lenders license fee
is $500, and there is 5000 surety
requirement. This license permits
a lender to charge rates not exceed
ing per cent per month.
Another type of permit, the mote
brokers' license" entails a 500 tax
