The bond issue would supple ment a previous $25,000,000 bond issue, already exhausted. It was used to purchase land for resale to veterans on long-term, low-in terest loans. Bascom Giles, commissioner of the general land office, told the committee applications are on hand to use all of the bond issue if adopted. Giles manages the land program. “My prediction is that it will never cost the state of Texas a dime,” he said. He estimated in terest paid by veterans on the loans would offset administrative costs and the new foreclosures.
