Saalfeld, director, reported today. This was the highest dollar volume on record for a fiscal year and the second highest in loans. It was a 14 percent gain in dollar volume and a 3 per cent gain in loans over 1966- 67. In Malheur County last year, loans were granted to 47 veterans in the amount of $757,550, compared with 30 loans in 1966-67 for $459,600. Since the loan program started in 1945, loans have gone to 636 veterans in this county in the amount of $5,724,650. Statewide, 62,699 loans have been granted in the amount of $591,539,124. Borrowers have repaid $308.7 million of this in prin cipal and $105.4 million in interest, with monthly repay ments currently averaging over $4 million. Of the 62,699 loans, 35,199 were outstanding June 30 in the amount of $358,056,038. Saalfeld said the loan pro gram continues to earn a net revenue after paying all expenses of the loan program and the service and coordina tion division, and the State’s share of costs for maintaining the rehabilitation programs of veterans’ organizations and county service officers. This net revenue last year was $2,752,136, bringing the total earnings since 1945 to $24,396,353. By action of the special ses sion of the 1967 Legislature, $13,617,574 of these earnings revert to the State’s general fund August 15, leaving the Department $10,778,779 as a reserve representing 3 percent of loans outstanding. This makes a total of $21,635,479 that have been transferred from loan earnings to the general fund.
