WEEKLY BIBLE THOUGHT
Finally, brethren, whattoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are jiust, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things. Philippians 4:8.
Fine Work
THINGS are looking up for the Tallnlah Falls rail-
way. The Georgia Public Service Commission,
after a thorough examination of the railroad and its
business past, present and future has recommitted

-The Deficiency-Judgment
THROUGH the columns of the informative Chapel
Hill Weekly we have learned of the efforts of
Governor Lehman of New York to do something
about the deficiency judgment evil.
; When times were good. one" seldom, heard of de
ficiency judgments, for foreclosed property usually
brought the amount remaining unpaid on a mortgage.
After the bottom dropped out of the real estate mar
ket, however, many home owners and farmers, unable
to meet 'payments on property bought at peek prices,.
discovered to their bitter regret that foreclosure was
"noTIJhin?
years has found that after having his home or his
farm taken from him he still owed nearly as much as
before. .The holler of the mortgage bid in the prop
" e rty for let5ttran-t hr-arrttmmgai n st-i t-ii ml -1 ook a
deficiency judgement for the difference.
There may be some justifiable reason for allowing
deficiency judgments in certain transactions; but to
our mind it is indefensible in the great majority of
cases, especially those involving homes and farming
lands. 1
Governor Lehman would not abolish deficiency
judgments in toto; but he would place ' a - limit - on -
them, by ' -- -'- '-'--- - -
(1) ' Giving to the courts authority to determine
1 the real value of mortgaged property and to limit a!
deficiency -judgment to the difference between the tie -
termined value and the amount of the mortgage
(2) Placing the burden of proving such value up-
on the person foreclosing, on the property, assuming
in the absence of such proof
to the value of the first mortgage.
: "This," comments theTXev York I lerald Tribune.,
Iseems, yholly -.etniiiaJil It, tides not ask the mort-
.raj4"ee to ive up any of his clearly established le.ual
" right sr bur"thrmvs"an)Trnilt he- home nviter- a pro
tection which he has sorely needed during the last
t hree-vea r s ; or- more - . ' .
The next time the North Carolina legislature meets
we sincerely hope' it will enact legislation similar to
that proposed by ( loverm-n" Leham in Xew 'York, only
we would have it go a bit further. Cases sometimes
arise when a mortgagor deserves not only -protection
against a deficiency judgment, but also some means
of obtaining a rebate on payments alreadv made.
