Carolina Vets Borrow Million Under New Law LARGE AMOUNT IS PAID OUT BY N. CAR. OFFICE LOANS MADE ON CERTIFICA TES LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD; HELPING BUSINESS, BELIEVE; MANY MEN ENAB LED TO PAY OLD DEBTS AND BUY NECESSITIES WITH THE FUNDS. The regional office .of the United States veterans’ bureau has paid out approximately $1,000,000 in loans on adjusted service certificates since the law was changed on July 21, it was hnnounced recen tly by f. S. Pittman, head of the bureau at Char lotte. Until that date, a veteran could niot borrow on his certificate until it had been outstanding for two years. The more recent law provid ed that after July 21, a veteran might borrow up to 5 0 per cent on his cerificate, whether it had been in force for two years or not. Since that time, the office has been receiving between 200 and 300 requests for loans each day, most of them averaging approximately $5 00 each, Mr. Pittman said. He pointed out that this lending of money on the certificates is only a temporary activity, as the majority of the veterans applied for their loans as soon as the money was available, and as a result, most of this work will have been finished in a short time. It has not been necessary to add to the office force ini order to take care of this increased work, Mr. Pittman said. He stressed the fact that only SO per cent of the value of the certifi cate can be borrowed and that vet erans who have already obtained that amount will not be able to get more. The distribution of this money to veterans throughout the state should have had an effect of better ing busirjiss' conditions, local busi ness men said yesterday, since it has enabled many of the veterans to pay outstanding bills or to buy things that they have had to go without during the last several months.
