Owes Has IMan for
Foreclosed Property
Jerrold Owen, secretary of the
state bonus commission, would
like very much for his department
to obtain some federal moneys to
rehabilitate and make rentable or
saleable properties the! commis
sion has taken over, on mortgage
foreclosures. Fnnds of! the com
mission are not sufficient for this
work. Owen believes much em
ployment would result from a fed
eral advance for such a project,
while the state bonus commission
would benefit In being able to re
ceive Income from many frozen
f assats.
Considerable talk has been
heard V about certain accounts
owing the state for flax sold
through the board of control. The
extent of these accounts as the
month ends is about 120,000. Of
this $7000 is an account carried
over from the old board's sales to
the Oregon Linen company. The
open account has been collected by
bonds of the Oregon Linen com
pany held for the state's account.
, Of the remaining open account,
a reduction of S1000 has been
made this month, bringing the
'sum down from $17,000 to $13,
: 000. Farther reductions are ex
pected If certain tow which Is be
ing sold by the state can be pro
cessed in the local plant. While
the reorganized Salem Linen
Mills has had considerable new
capjtal put Into It in the last IS
moAhs, operations have not been
profitable; no dividends have been
paid and Interest on the firm's
bonds was not met this spring.
Some members of the board of
control feel that pressure for col
lection of the open acftmnt
through demand that bills receiv
able or Inventories be assigned to
. the state, would freeze np the
company's working capital, with
the result that closure might be
necessary, an industry suspended
and at 'least 40 people put out of
work.-Reviving markets for goods
n ' and higher prices will i presently
free the account ' through the
mill's' profitable operations and
permit liquidation of the flax sold.
Large Portion of I

Steady. Incoming payments of
state taxes by the counties have
permitted retirement of large ad

For several years he has main
