Handley said in a meeting of the State Finance Board that it was “unfair" that Gary has not repair that amount it borrowed from the Post-War Planning Revolving Fund. Handley said unless Gary takes .immediate action to repay, Indiana should withhold money normally distributed to the city as it did in the cast of Terre Haute, which also failed to repay a state loan some time ago. "If we have one community to tie money up over a period of years, it is unfair,” Handley said. The Gary loan has been due since 1951. The fund was set up to help cities plan various civic improve—ments. such as sewers. Deputy State Treasurer Charles Bryant said Gary has promised In the past to put the loan repayment in its budget but as far as he knows has failed to do so. "That doesn’t do any good if they don’t keep their agreement," Handley said. The governor said the finance board should be “absolutely flat-footed about. iL" =• — ‘ "We aren’t going to take any arbitrary steps until we know their intentions." the governor said. The board agreed it should determine if G->rv has made proviion in its btfogvt for repayment! of the loan and, if not, the money! should be withheld. The board also agreed to query Vanderburgh County and Jonesboro about applications for loans totaling $22,000 which they have , not picked oup. .
