STATE BOND DEBT
IN PAST 6 YEARS
(Ownttciued from paga one)
amount or $790,737.59 and first mort
gage loan on homes and farms In
the state In the amount of 18,666,
612.13. 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.
The total assets of the state apply
ing against bonded Indebtedness on
October 1, 1924 amounted to 920,907,
233.02, leaving a net debt of 39,211,
256.98. 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.

INSPECTOR TRENT
IN ROXY MYSTERY
Five suspects, each with sufficient
motive to commit murder, and a
maze of conflicting evidence which
snarls the threads of truth so that
their untangling Is worthy of the
best efforts of the screen's popular
detective figure. Inspector Trent, are
elements In "The Crime of Helen
Stanley," now on the btll at the Roxy
thpfttcr.
Further Interest Is added by the
fact that the murder transpires In a
movie studio before a camera which
Is in operation.
Roads and relief problems were dis
cussed by the county budget com
ml t tee at a session today with all
members present with exception of

1669; widows' pension, $739; hos
pitalization of Indigents, 801; mis
cellaneous relief, 745, and poor farm
maintenance, $457.
The tentative budget calls for ap
propriation of approximately (72,000
for relief during 1035.
The budget committee expects It
will be required to appropriate $301)0
per month for old age pensions dur
ing the coming year.
It Is expected that the budget will
