The commission also held contracts of sale of properties taken over by the commlMlon amounting to $596,890.42 end also held title to Vl.060.868.S2 in U.m property and S.l.223,727.44 in city property.

On October 1. 1934 the net debt totaled 26,270,122.78 after de ductions of like assets applied against the aggregate indebtedness. Progrefls Is Been While the bonded Indebtedness of the state, Hnlmnn said, la still heavy, material progress In the reduction of the indebtedness has been made dur ing recent years. Bonding authority granted under the state constitution has not been fully used. The high way commission for Instance Is auth orized to Issue bonds amounting to 3 per cent of the assessed valuntlon of the state or for a sum of 5 12, 4 03, 2 '14 In bonds Part of this authority will be used In the Issuance of bridge revenue bonds to finance the coast bridges, provided such bonds are held to be within the limitation. Under the constitution the Oregon Veterans State Aid commlsson may yet Issue 3,387,496 In bonds. This margin may be necesssry for refunding purposes In the event of further decline of the assessed valuation of the state. Under the constitution farm credit bonds to the extent of 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the state may be Issued but only a nominal, amount of such bonds were sold by the state, for the reason that at about the tlmo the constitutional amend ment became effective In 1919 the Xedcral land banks were established and loans could be obtained from such banks by farmers on a better basis than from the state. The largest unused bonding au thority In the constitution Is that which has been granted for power development. Under the constitution the state may Issue power develop ment bonds In an aggregate amount of 0 per cent of the assessed valua tion of the state or for a total of 56,524,291. None or such bonds have been Issued up to the present time. (Continued iron pme one.) Dr. K. O. Redmond, physician who attends federal prisoners In the Jail, wa called twice.
