THE NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-.FOUUNAL : Kill DAY. DECEMBER 14. 1900. LAW ALLOWING NATIONAL BANKS TO LOAN ON REAL ESTATE. NORFOLK BANKERS FAVOR IT Under Present System National Banks are Forced to Send Surplus East During Summer When They Might as Well Loan on Local Lands. Norfolk bankers nro In fiivor of tlio now bill which has Just passed the house of representatives In Washing ton , making It possible for national banks to loan money with real estate as security , the loan being limited. Heretofore It has been against the law for a national banking house to make loans on real estate but It appears to bo the local opinion that the now leg islation would bo a help to the west and especially to the farmer. "During the past , " said one national bank president In Norfolk , "wo have been unable to make real estate loans and therefore during the summer , when savings and private banks wore making loans on land , national banks have had to send their surplus money to the east to Invest In good paper , In order to keep the surplus at work drawing Interest. Under the new law wo will bo able to keep that money nearer homo and will be able to make loans to the fanners on their real es tate as security. "There Is no bettor security on earth than land. The loans ought to bo lim ited to a certain percent of the land's value , conservatively appraised. "Tho only danger In the law would come In not limiting loans on city real estate. City values fluctuate rapidly and a bank , In loaning on city proper ty , might get caught through some un expected turn of affairs. The farm lands , though , are almost as solid as gold , Itself ?
