C of G Advised FFHA Move From Parish Ruston Office
Congressmis Ollo Bassman urged the Ruston Chamber of Commerce to pressure the Federal Farmers Home Administration to keep the Lincoln Parish office open in Ruston. Plans to consolidate with Union Parish in Farmerville have been discussed in Washington. Ruston clerk Mary Dureten said no formal notice of removal had been received. The June 30 fiscal year ends, but no notification has reached parish supervisor W. Te May. Juston is now the FHA headquarters with Gordon and Riley overseeing nine surrounding parishes. The FHA provides farm credit loans, home building funds, and other financial aid, and Ruston’s office has seen a drop in load but remains potentially viable. Changes in federal rules have affected eligibility for some borrowers.
