The present interest rate is 5% percenf The Finance Minister sara ne had U1 09011 mind on a suggestion from Opposition members that the gov- ernment pay administration costs under the Farm Loan Act which would reduce interest rates to four ‘vr 4% percent. At the same time, Mr. Rhodes slid he would oppose a rate of 3% percent-actual cost of the money to the Dominion Treas- ury-on the ground it would dry up private loan sources. Notice of Amendments , Notice was elven by thc Finance Minister of several amendments to the government bill which wguld increase to $90,000,000 the funds lvflillble to the Farm Loan Board and extend its operations to every province. The bill was before the House most of the afternoon but progress was slow in committee stage. , . The first amendment would ex- tend to farmers who already owe money to the Farm Loan Board, tho reduced rates now going into eilect. Some farmers have loans bearing interest as high as 6% percent but the rate will be cut to 5% and per- haps to five. Another amendment would per- mit loans to be made up to 50 per- cent of the value of lands and build- ings on a farm. Under existing laws, the 50 percent limit applies to land but is only 25 percent on buildings. A third change would provide that a credit would be allowed all form- ers who, under present regulations. subscribed five percent of their Ioan to shares of the Farm Loan Board.
