State Forced to obtain $460000 Loan
The Indiana state board of finance borrowed 460000 from Indianapolis banks to cover salaries and operating costs as the treasury emptied. About 400000 was borrowed September 15 and 60000 days later, with repayment due December 31 from county tax receipts. Interest runs about 5.5 percent. The money was spread among five banks. The move stems from a depleted general fund and rising educational and benevolent expenses. The Red Men lodge approved a 300000 hotel project at Market and Capitol, with John Riley to manage.
