State Land Department a Real Big Business
The annual report by Frank Henry, North Dakota state land commissioner, details how the land department loans millions to farmers and state institutions at low rates, funds schools, pays for courthouses and schoolhouses, and reduces taxation. It notes $1.33 million bonds bought, $1.96 million loaned to farmers, total permanent funds near $12.28 million, and $6 million in total collections this year. The system is praised as rural credit, with no mortgage foreclosures except two necessary cases, and Major Henry is commended for his tenure through Sept. 1, 1917.
