The Honorable

     The Secretary of Agriculture

it!y dear 2Mr. Secretary:

     Reference is made  to letter of CEarch 6, 1952, from the Acting

Secretary of Agriculture,  requesting to be advised whether under the

facts and circumstances  described therein the Rural Electrification

Administration now may pay  certain delinquent taxes on property sold

by the Administration  to the Ocracoke Electric tembership Corporation.

     It is explained  that the taxes involved are for the years 1940,

1941, 1943 and 1944,  in the amount of $1,$25.18, and accrued against

the property  in question when it was owned by the Ocracoke Light and

Power Company.  The  latter Company entered into a loan contract with

the United States  as of June 19, 1937, and pursuant to such contract

and an amendment thereto,  issued its notes to the United States in the

amount of  G'h6,000 and, as security therefor, executed a mortgage to

the United States  covering all the property of the Company.   ue to the

Company's inability  to continue operations and to meet its payments

under the loan,  the Government, acting throuth the Administrator of

the Rural Electrification  Administration, exercised the power of sale

contained in the mortgage  and took title to the property on December 28,

1944.
