BANK MAKES LOANS FOR HOME REPAIR

Local Bank Qualified to Make Modernization Loans on Property. The State Bank of Syracuse is eligible to uaake moderization loans under the provisions of the National Housing Act. According to the statement of Norman C. Blocker, cashier, the bank received notice of its eligibility Saturday and has already made one loan of this character. In a press release James A. Moffett, administrator of the National Housing Act stated that success of the Moderization Program is dependent fully as much upon the response and co-operation of the farmer and the citizen of the small community as upon those who live in metropolitan areas. Through the Moderization Program of the Federal Housing Administration which got under way August 10, the United States Government offers the farmer as well as the city dweller the means of bringing his home up to modern American living standards, and also of improving his barn and other buildings, through the regular banks and other lending agencies of his community. No money is given away and the borrower does not deal directly with the Federal Housing Administration. But the money is made available as “character loans'* through regular e>tablished lending agencies, according to Moffett's statement. A concise summary of the information that the property owner needs to obtain such a loan is as follows: 1. A Modernization Loan is solely for the purpose of repairing, altering or improving your home, barn, silo, shop, store or other building, (also deepening or digging wells in drought-stricken states). Diversion of the money to any other purpose is strictly prohibited. 2. The loan cannot be for less than sluo err for more than $2,000. In addition, the borrower must have a bona tide source of income equal to at least five times the annual payments. 3. The loan can be made for terms of one, two and three years, but may be paid in full earlier than the maturity date if the borrower desires. 4. Maximum charges, including interest and all fees, cannot exceed an amount equivalent to $5 discount per year per SIOO original face amount of the note. 5. To get a Moderization Loan, the property owner must present to the bank or other lending institution a precise estimate of the cost of the improvements and must bo able to prove that they are necessary or advisable. 6. In addition, the property owner must tile a Property Owner's Credit Statement, showing his financial condition, sources and amount of income and other information necessary to determine his ability to repay the loan. If the bank considers the improvements advisable, and the property owner able to meet the payments when due. it can advance the money on the personal note of the property owner. The note must be signed by both husband and wife, if the property owner is married. No mortgage or collateral security is necessary, unless State laws or the bank officials demand it. Administrator Moffett asks each property owner to do these things: Look over your properties, especially your home, anti determine what improvements are necessary or advisable. Get exact estimates of their costs. Take these estimates to your bank or other lending institutino and apply for a Modernisation

COURT ORDERS THAT CHECK BE RETURNED

Check Found Under Blotter in “Bucket Shop'* Office—Deposits Taken Out. A misplaced envelope in the office of Mann & Co., 914 Merchants Bank building, alleged bucket shop operators, was responsible for the return’ of $4,011 to Guy B. Stone of Wawasee lake Friday. The firm, which closed its doors following the death July 17 of Milton D. Ullmann, president, has been under investigation by both the Federal and county grand juries. Stone was given a check for $4,011 by Robert Coleman, judge pro tem in Probate Court. Evidence was introduced to show that Stone had sent a check for the amount to Mann & Co., about the same time the doors were closed, in tinal payment for 400 shares of General Electric Company stock. The evidence also disclosed that although Stone had previously paid $6,000 in stock payment, he never had received delivery of the stock. $144,440 Sums Taken; Estimate Louis R. Markun, administrator of the estate of Ullmann, found the envelope containing the check under a blotter on a desk in the Mann office, t he told the court. The alleged bucket shop operators are said to have fleeced Indiana invsetors out of at least SIOO,OOO. Police and detectives are attempting to locate members of the firm. . Stone testified that a salesman fop ihe concern visited him in December and persuaded him to purchase 100 shares of General Electric stock for SI,OOO. He said a few weeks later he was approached again and igreed to purchase an additional 400 shares for slO,Oll, of which amount he paid $6,000 which has not been iccounted for. Q WHY NEWSPAPERS ARE LIKE WOMEN Because they have forms. J Because they are bold face type. Because they always have the last word. ’ Because back numbers are not in demand. | Because they have a great deal of influence. Because they are well worth looking over. Because you can’t believe everyhing they say. Because they carry the news where ever they go. Because if they know anything they usually tell it. 4 Because they are never afraid to speak their minds. „ Because they are much thinner than they used to be. every man should have one of his own and not bother his* neighbor’s. . 0 The problem how to adjust type to space in order to fill a paper up when there “isn’t anything to fill it up with was satisfactorily attended to recently by Harold Dwyer, resourceful publisher of the Tipton Times, who set aside a blank page i and labeled it “Contracted Acreage." i
