Herald 31, 1932 The MEIER WANTS LOANS DIRECT TO COUNTIES Governor Would Prefer That State Not Be Obligated for Funds Borrowed for Local Relief. APPLICATION SHIFTED Klamath's Plea Transmitted to Reconstruction Finance Corporation- -Will Give Approval.

(By United Press Leased Wire) SALEM. Aug. -Direct negotiation by counties with the federal reconstruction finance corporation for relief loans is favored by Governor Meier. In a statement to Paul V. Marvis secretary of the executive committee of the state relief council released here today.

Governor Meier explained the procedures to be followed in application for loans under title 1 of the federal emergency relief and construction act. one procedure," executive said. "the governor may make application for the total sum required by the entire state, and may distribute the amount received to local subdivisions on basis of relative need. Loans obtained are repaid either by deduction from future federal appropriations for highways or by other special arrangement entered into by the state and reconstruction finance corporation." Under the favored plan recommended also by the governor's state-wide committee on relief, the governor may approve individual applications. He would then certify to the needs of litical subdivisions of the state, these units thereafter to" negotiate their loans directly.

The governor is required to certify that moneys available or that can be made available are inadequate, under the individual application plan. certificate can more readily be made and substantiated by counties requiring loans than by the state," the governor said. "Approval of applications submitted by counties should, therefore, be more certain and imme- diate. Would Have to Pay Anyway "Should the state become the borrower and obligate itself to repay the loans by authorizing de deductions from future highway allotments or by speeial arrangement, it would be necessary for the state to require repayment. in turn, from counties receiving portions of the state loan.

Failure of state to require repayment from the borrowing counties would operate 18. a penalty to all non-borrowing counties and would simulate maximum borrowing by all counties, as a means of self protection. "According to terms of the bill and to advices received from of the reconstruction finance corporation, the fact that a county is undergoing ca period of severe financial stringency which has exhausted its re sources and strained its credit will not impair that county's opportunity to secure a loan. In fact, such a showing must be made before the funds are Refering to the first Oregon application, the governor said: Asks Prompt Advice "In transmitting application of county to the reconstruction corporation, I have asked for prompt advice as to whether this policy would in any way impair chances of the state to obtain full consideration of its needs, or would cause delay in securting action upon our requests. If for any reason the course which has been outlined by your committee and approved by this office later appears inexpedient, any necessary adjustments can be made."
