2 Bank of North Dakota’s Profit for Auditor O. B. Lund Says Profit Represents 11.8 Per Cent Earning A net profit of $216,586.36 was made | by the Bank of North Dakota for the 11-month period, Oct. 1, 1930, to Aug. 31, 1931, according to an audit sub mitted to the state board of auditors. The profit is shown after charging up depreciation on the bank build- ing and fixtures, and for reserve for unpaid and accrued interest on bank series bonds outstanding. ©. B.

Prospects Are Reduced “Present economic conditions, short crops and low prices of agricultural products reduces the prospects of making collections on the questionable assets of the bank, and we have in- creased our estimated losses on the old uncollzctable assets in the amount of $27,059.99, and set up estimated losses of $8,659.19 on the more re- cently made loans on hand. “The bank department advances funds to the farm loan department for financing its operations in con- collections.

The audit shows a loss of $32,718.27 for the 11-month period for the farm loan department, before returning the excess interest charges made by the bank department. ‘The demand for farm loans at pres- ent, the report said, is the greatest in the history of the department. During the 11-month period the farm loan department completed and assigned 1,983 new loans to the state treasurer for $3,764,400. There were on hand over $400,000 in loans in pro- cess of completion, and applications on file for over $2,500,000 that were under consideration at the date of audit. $250,000 a Month Applications were coming in during the time of the audit at the rate of over $250,000 a month, Lund said.
