State Veterans
Loans Show
Marked Rise
Applications under the state
veterans farm and home loan act
are showing a marked increase
with 97 already filed in September
as against 85 in August and 80 in
July, the state veterans affairs de
partment reported Saturday. - .
Officials said that while $6,000
is the maximum loan under the
1947 legislative amendment the
loan applications average between
$3,500 and $4,00. The law pro
vides that these loans may be
made up to 75 per cent of the ap
praised value of the property of
fered for security. Prior to the
last legislature the maximum loan
was $3,000 which officials said
they considered inadequate under
existing conditions.
In some instances, officials de
clared, applicants have sought
loans of less' than $1,000 but these
were ; an exception. Processing of
the loans is progressing satisfac
torily. Loan applications for the
three months ending September 30
were expected to exceed the num
ber for any corresponding period
in the life of the veterans loan
act, officials said.
