Penalty Payment Will Qualify Land Owners or operators who the minimum requirements for acreage to be devoted to soil conserving crops or Landowners do not meet Home Owners Aided By Federal Loan Agency In clearing up back taxes owed to states, counties and local governments by over a million distressed home owners whom it refinanced in the emergency, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation has disbursed approximately $224,981,000 to state and municipal governments. The amount of such payments is consolidated in the loans made fay the Corporation, to those home owners. The net re- cult is that the taxes in arrears were paid, while the HOLC is being reimbursed for such expenditures through principal and interest, installments paid by its borrowers on their loans under the Corporation's 15-year monthly repayment Most home owners seeking loans from the Corporation in order to avoid foreclosure were in default not only upon their original mortgages, but likewise on their taxes and assessments; in some cases for several years. In order to protect its own lien, and to save the homeowner from penalties and the risk of tax sale, the HOLC in refinancing such home owners liaid the taxes past due at the time such loans were granted.

This $225,000,000 in cash, paid directly by the HOLC to thousands of local treasuries since 1933, has helped many hard-pressed communities to maintain their schools, police and other essential public services intact at a critical time. It accordingly reduced the necessity of tax sales, costly judgment proccdings and the acquisition of real estate by cities.
