M. Stangler, manager of the Bark of North Dakota, said that $6,607,- 623.84 of this amount “actually had been paid through transfer of motor vehicle registration fees and beer taxes and from the general state levy. Actually, he explained, there re- main only $1,656,336.90 which must be met by legislative action, by transfer from other funds or state levy. In its refinance operations, through federal agencies, 7,330 loans were re- financed, involving 1,931,516 acres of land, on which unpaid principal bale ances totaled $16,893,197.81, unpaid in- |terest, $3,560,088.79 and unpaid adv vances and other charges $1,044,961.- 72, with total amounts due equalling $21,498,245.32 at the time of settle- ment, Shirek said.

Shirek said it is “difficult to make @ reasonable ,estimate” of what this loss might be at the present time. Continuation of depreciated land values and difficult financial condi- tions of borrowers were blamed by Shirek for possible loss.
