Modify Controls
On Farm Housing

Credit controls on Farmers
Home Administration loans for
farm housing construction have
been modified to bring them in
line with the new Regulation K
revisions, the u. S. Department of
Agriculture has announced.
The changes permit the agency
to make somewhat larger loans
for farm dwelling construction or
repairs costing over $2,500, than
could be made under regulations
in effect since last October. The
regulations apply to dwelling con-
struction loans from both farm
housing and farm ownership funds.
The amount the farmer can
borrow varies with the trans
action price of the house. The
transaction price includes the es-
timated cost of the proposed con-
struction plus an allowance of 5
percent for the land on which the
new house is to be built. For
veterans, the credit provisions are
somewhat more liberal than for
other farmers.
If the transaction price is be-
tween $500, and $7,001, a vet
eran may borrow up to 100 per
cent of the cost of the house
construction. A non-veteran can
borrow up to 95 percent of the
transaction price. The maximum
percentage that can be borrowed
gradually goes downward for
loans larger than STOOL. At all
levels the amount that can be
borrowed is larger under the new
regulations than under the old.
For example, house that
costs $4,000 to build has a trans
action price of S8,400. To con-
struct this house a veteran can
borrow $3.50. Under former re-
strictions he could borrow 1885.
A farmer who is not a veteran can
borrow $3.50. Formerly he could
borrow $7,140.
No major changes were made
in the time allowed for repay
mept Housing loans of more than
$500, but not more than $500,
have maximum repayment
period of 25 years. Larger loans
must be amortized in 20 years.
However, under the revised regu-
lations veterans may be allowed a
longer period if a shorter amorti-
Zation would cause hardships. In
terest rate on all housing loans
is 4ee.
Under the farm housing pro-
gram which began when the
Housing Act of 1949 was passed,
farm owners without adequate
credit sources may borrow to
construct, repair, or replace farm
dwellings or other farm buildings.
The farm owner can use this
credit for his own farm housing
needs or those of his tenants.
The Farmers Home Administra-
ton also includes funds for farm
housing and farm building con-
struction in most loans made for
the purchase and improvement of
farms. Applications may be made
at any of the 80 FILA offices
throughout the State. The FILA
Office serving Madison, Fayette
and Pickaway Counties is located
at SO South Main Street, London,
Ohio.

C0NSERVANCY
DISTRICT TAX
Levy PLANNED

Directors of the Scioto-San-
dusky Conservancy District plan
to make a second and final 3
mill levy in the IL counties of
the District, including Madison.
The levy, which will yield some
100000 is necessary because
courts have held the District must
repay to the counties a $4,000
fund they contributed nearly 20
years ago to start the Districts
work.
The total shares, plus interest,
come to $4,000 that must be re-
paid, and the District has only
about $4,000 left from its first 3
mill levy.
The issue was raised when
Union and Delaware Counties re-
fused to turn in proceeds of the
levy until their portion of the
original assessment had been re-
paid. A court test resulted and
the Directors must make their
second levy to repay all the
counties the assessments with in
terest.
E. w. Dillon, Attorney for the
District, outlined the history of
the District and its financing:
The Conservancy District was
organized in 1884 to plan flood
control and water. supply in the
Scioto and Sandusky River VAL
leys. The counties paid in $4,000
to start the work.
The law creating the District
permits it to make two levies or
8 mill each. The first levy made
in 1947 yielded about $290,000.
This financed the Official Plan for
control of the two watersheds.
The District Directors had not
repaid the original assessments
because it came from the same
counties paying the levy, and they
wanted to put off making the
second and final levy as long as
possible.
The insistence OF the two coun-
ties, however, makes it necessary
to repay all of them.
The Directors have notified the
Common Pleas Judges of the af-
fected counties, who make up the
Districts Court, that they have
passed the resolution to levy the
final g mill. They said:
"The Directors took into con-
sideration that this is the last
preliminary assessment that can
be made; that in addition to re-
payment to the counties, funds
will be needed in the future for
taking care of amendments to the
Official Plan, if any, the creating
of subdistricts, increasing the geo.
graphical area Of the District, ap-
praisals of property to be benefit
ed, taken or damaged under any
project in the Official Plan, and
other incidental expenses which
may be necessary up to the time
money is received from the sale
of bonds. 1t would be short-sight-
ed to make levy insufficient to
assure the fulfillment of all of
the obligations cast upon the
Directors by the Conservancy Act;
other wise, all funds expended to
date might be wasted"
The Official Plan calls for six
flood control dams, including the
Delaware Dam, one water supply
dam at Bucyrus and three major
channel improvements at Colum-
bus, Fremont and Chillicothe. The
Delaware Dam is already built.
The District Directors are
Joseph v. Vanmeter of Chillicothe,
President; John H. Dunlap, Jr.,
of Williamsport, and Howard F.

Every once in a while Nell

publish here it is called,

that way.

ADVERTISING

HUE
See in the papers where an
Englishwoman turned a bright
golden color. Medical investi-
cation revealed that she had
been eating a pound of carrots
each day for over a year. This
leads our imagination astray.
Just think of the possibilities
of a thing like this. A person
eating an excess of eggplant
could turn deep purple so that
verbose veins wouldn't show.
Too. one could eat bananas
with the skins on to blend in
with the new draperies wifey
bought last week.

doom politically" says Pageant,
What is the Negro press? "Pri-
MARTY" says the article, 1T is a
protest press demanding the cor
rection of injustice TO a specific
minority group. But it does more
than protest. It prints news about

Chicago -- CAMP - Hundreds
of Negro CTS are defying military
red tape to marry Japanese girls,
EBONY Magazine says in a re-
vealing illustrated article in its
current issue.
Though the red tape the CTS
encounter is agonizing, These
marriages have been the most sue
cessful of any war marriages with
much less divorce and desertion
than occurred with quickie war

In reciting typical cases of Ne
gro soldiers marrying the pretty
Acknowledged girls, EBONY re-
ports that in some instances they
go through the motions of the
Shinto wedding ceremony; that
Negro CTS married to japanese
girls, like their brothers at home
who have married into other
races, are a clannish lot and spend
much of their spare time visiting
with each other; that about so
per cent of them already have
children; that many of the hus-
bands are trying to get their
wives to forget ancient Japanese
customs; that most of them live
very comfortably in modest, near
apartments, and most of the GTs
are planning to bring their Jap
anese wives and children home.
