a ceiling of $4,000 on the indebt-
edness outstanding at any one time.
The maximum repayment period is
seven years. Previously the initial
loan was limited to $500, the
maximum Indebtedness to $4,000,

Congress recognized that the costs
of farm operating expenses have
increased sharply in recent years, F"
7. B. Fatherree, State Director of
the Farmers Home Administration,
explained. A farmer who required
a $4,000 loan in 1916 for annual
operating expenses and the pur-
chase of machinery and livestock
would have required a loan of $5,-
900 for the same purpose in 1851.
The main objective of the Farm
ers Home Administration is to help
family farm operators make the
most efficient use of their land
and family labor supply. The new
loan terms will be of great help
in achieving this goal. In the past
we have had to turn down many

GENOA CONTRACTOR MARKS HIS
.FORTIETH YEAR IN BUSINESS

Henry W. Bergman, we'll known
Genoa road contractor, who has
serviced Port Clinton with street
oiling for years, remarked on a
visit to the News Monday that
he recently observed his 40th an
niversary in the road building
business.
Starting at the age of %, Berg
man had for his first contract,
the job of stone surfacing one
mile of Toussaint road in San
dusky county in May, 1911.
His business being born in the
horse and buggy days, horses
were naturally the principal
source of power. On one day of
his second job, on Hawk road,
near Williston, Bergman had 107
teams grading and hauling stone.
1t was said to be the largest col
lection of work animals ever as
sembled on a public road job.
The teams made four load trips
a day, and their drivers were paid
ST per load, or $4 per day for men
and horses.
This week Bergman has the
latest device in payer, which is
motor-propelled and does in one
day what most of those 107 teams
could have done in two weeks or
better. The giant electric payer
just finished putting new black
top on the north golf course road
at Catawba.
The first project called for a
10-foot wide road, width which
is practically obsolete now. The
first job was a township con-
tract and the second county, and
the third, state.
AT this time Bergman holds a
$4,000 contract to improve IS
miles of Ottawa county roads,
which was awarded only last
month. He says there is not a
road in the county that he hasn't
done some sort of work on, at
one time or another.
Forty years ago, the horse
drawn road wagons carried stone
all the way from Rocky Ridge
and Trowbridge quarries to jobs

Regardless of the distance, how
ever, the pay for man and horses
was always a flat ST per load.
Associated with Bergman in the
business, which employs IS per-
sons, is his war veteran son, FL

Eldon graduated from Annapo-
