scramble for houses that feature three
baths and four mortgages, foreclosures
are surprisingly few and win decrease in
the future, said William H. Kingsley,
vice president of the Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Co. of Philadelphia, before
the sixteenth annual convention Of the
Mortgage Bankers Association of
America at New Orleans.
Speaking on mortgage investment
problems of life insurance companies,
Mr.. Kingsley said that there Is q ten
dency on the part Of the public to I'M
dertake home ownership with too little
equity, so that the home is endangered
when family Illness or unexpected ex-
pense throws them out of gear finan-
cially, and he warned his audience of
mortgage bankers from every part Of
the country against handling junior
mortgages on such properties.
He also scored elected tax officials
who extend leniency to residential
property owners In the matter of pay
ment OF taxes because they know the
mortgages viii ultimately settle these
bills and said that such extensions en-
courage home owners to jsopardize their
holdings.
Comparatively Few Foreclosures.

compared to mortgages, held by a group
OF the largest life insurance companies
in the United States, whose assets are
close to $4,000, 000,0 900 and who hold
more than $500 900 900 of mortgages
in all sections of the country. Mr..
Kingsley said that the percentage Of
foreclosed real estate to mortgages
owned averaged 1.26 per cent.
Describing this ratio as surprisingly
low, the speaker stated that sales in
process now and plans contemplated for
the future are likely to decrease this
figure.

lnordinate greed for money and for
