Senate Passes New Moratorium Bill
Washington Aug 19 UP The senate approved the Frazier Lemke farm mortgage bill without a roll call and sent it to the house. Backed by Republicans and administration, it would let farmers keep homes under court protection for three years by paying a fair rental, regardless of debt size. The measure alters contracts but aims to aid financially pressed farmers and allows court set rentals to cover taxes and insurance with a three year period to reacquire by paying appraised value. If dissatisfied, a creditor may demand an auction sale.
