HOLC Manager Talks on Loans
AUSTIN, April 2—J. C. Anderson, State Manager of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, said today in a broadcast of the United States Government Reports weekly series presenting the Federal Government Agencies, that 36,549 borrowers from HOLC in Texas are "clearly" on the way to debt-free home ownership, or already have achieved that goal.

Anderson estimated that about 2,846 families in this state have paid off their debts to HOLC in full.

He added that 33,703 other families are either paid up to date on their monthly bills, or are less than three months behind, or, in addition to meeting their monthly payments in full, are paying regularly each month to wipe out arrears they had accumulated earlier.

"In all," he declared, "Texas borrowers from HOLC have paid back $28,165,984, or approximately 27.3 per cent of their entire principal indebtedness. Payments of principal and interest in this state are coming in at the rate of $666,209 a month."

Anderson asserted that during the past year, HOLC has adjusted about 700 loan contracts in Texas to allow a longer period of payment.
