VETERANS ELIGIBLE TO CONSTRUCT HOMES UNDER NEW STATE LAW Veterans in Nevada county who were born in or entered wartime service from California may be eligible for state construction loans to build their own homes a few months from now, according . to Coral Morton, county service officer. Legislation recently signed by Governor Earl Warren authorizes the state department of veterans affairs to make such loans to eligible veterans. Previously, the state was able to finance only completed homes. The law does not go into effect until Oct. 1, Mrs. Morton said. Meanwhile she suggested interested veterans await issuance of regulations concerning the construction loan program now being . drafted by the department of veterans affairs. Information about all types of state and federal veterans’ benefits is available at Nevada county service office, 310 West Main Grass Valley.
