FARMERS TO GET DE E DS TO FARMS
Several Inquiries have come to the A.Rv
R.C. office about the possibility oT pay
ing up on the realty contract In less tlm'e
than bO years. There appears to be some '
misunderstanding that even If principal is
paid that Interest would have to continue
for oO years. This Impression Is not in
accord with the realty contract which
state., in Section IV as follows:
!,Tuut with the written consent of the
Corpo tlon the Purchaser shall have the
privilege of making prepayments of any of
said installments or portions thereof, and
the irivllege of making additional payments
for the reduction or extinguishment of the
principal debt and interest thereon on any
installment date."
Interest may be charged only upon the
unpaid portion of the principal. V.hen the
principal is paid up no more interest Is
due. Several farmers have how taken1ad
vantage of this provision of the realty'
contract and have paid up their realty In
full and are now awaiting d~eds from the
Corporation, which it is expected will be ■
lssuv d in the near future. If- anyone de
sires any further .explanation'of'this mat
ter, please call at thetAlaska Rural Re- •
Jjablll tatlon Corporation off leu.'
