Alberta Premier urges debtors to use Debt Adjustment Act
Premier Aberhart told Alberta debtors to apply for protection under the Debt Adjustment Act. He noted mortgage renewals offer six percent over five years, most farm mortgages renewed, but warned that reduced interest without principal cuts is often ineffective. Debtors may obtain a certificate, turning over a quarter of gross crop value and livestock revenue to the board, which then pays creditors pro rata, shielding debtors from lawsuits.
