During the calendar year of 1948,
Keane reported, $50 applications for
loans, including 1877 by veterans,
were rejected because of lack of
funds. Montana's loan allotments for
the 1948-49 fiscal year were in
creased slightly over those of the
preceding year but will not be suf-
ficient to meet the demands of the,
farmers and ranchers for their credit
needs.
Demand Exceeds Funds
Montana was allotted $922,400 for
annual and Swear adjustment loans.
AS of Jan. %, 1949, 5000, 400 had al
ready been loaned, with the peak
of the loan season for spring opera
lions still several months to go. If
the present rate of expenditure for
the two loan types continues, funds
will be exhausted this month.
The allotment for water facilities
loans is $145,0O0. OF this, $88,91O has
been loaned to date and more than
sufficient applications are on hand to
use the balance of the funds.
Twenty-one real estate loans are
in various stages of completion and
will use all of the $4,000 available
for this type of loan by June Both.
Inflated land values limited the
number of such loans made last year
to Is. Of these, II were made to
veterans.
