The cases, numbering about 14, were those in which an agreement on the price to be paid could not be reached between the Industrial Commission and the home builders. William Langer, attorney for the Home Builders, contended that un- der a stipulation entered into by him and then Attorney-General John- son in 1922, the discount from the book value fixed as a result of two cases taken to the supreme court should apply in the settlement of al others. He contends the home pur- chaser may either settle or turn the house back to the state, and receive back payments made, less fair rent during the time the house was oc- ied.

N. Hagan, supervi- ser, member of the board of railroad and the emergency The emergency commission, having advanced about $13,000 to the depart- ment, has held it cannot longer give from the emergency fund for the up- keep of the department. J. N. Ha- gan, superviser, maintains the emer- gency commission should continue to support the department.

The new rate to financial institutions is percent and to co-operative marketing | associations 4 1-2 percent. i The rates heretofore have ranged! up to 6 percent on some classes of| paper and to 5 1-2 percent on others. | The action of the board in authori: ing a cut in the rates is in line with the easier money market throughout the country. The board, in an of- ficial statement, said the reductions| were due largely to the lower inter- est rates which it has had to pay on debentures of the intermediate credit system. Farm loans board officials declared | the reductions, coming at this time, would mean a great saving to the agricultural communities, particular- ly through the direct loans to co- operatives. It was said that a ma- jority of the volume of farm products will be marketed in the next few months and the lower rediscount! rates for the co-operatives will bring @ corresponding saving to them and their members.
