Veterans Loans in State To Be Less, Director Reports Salem - Oregon veterans' farm and home loans were granted to 198 veterans in Jackson county in 1959 in the amount of $2,073,000, H. C. Saalfeld, director of the state department of veterans' affairs, reported this week. Starting this year, however, Saalfeld said, loans will be reduced about 65 per cent be cause of a shortage of loan funds. This could mean that only 73 veterans in Jackson county will receive loans to taling $767,000 during 1960 if the reduction were uniform statewide. Actually, veterans' loan ap plications are being scheduled for funds statewide on a "first come, first served" basis. Loans for all of Oregon will be limited to about 120 a month, starting in April, as against the average of 430 loans granted each month last year. Shortage to Continue Saalfeld said the shortage will continue through 1960, because the state veterans' de partment has reached the constitutional limit of bonds it may issue to finance the program. It may now loan only the money it receives from veterans' monthly loan repayments, after paying op erating expenses. Whether the shortage con tinues next year will depend on the outcome of a measure on the ballot in next Novem ber's election to increase the limit of bonds that may be is sued. The loan program re quires no tax funds ana is self-sustaining. Since the state veterans' loan program started in 1945, a total of 1,019 veterans in Jackson county have bor rowed $7,988,100.
