POINTS TO ADVANCE
MADE IN BUILDING
Cody Believes Presidents
i. Conference Is Opening
New Epoch.

efforts now being made by the
Presidents Conference on Home Build
ing and Home Ownership to center pub
lie attention upon the home ownership
problem and to enlist the services of
competent individuals and organizations
toward satisfactory solution will be re-
garded in retrospect as one OF the
really great accomplishments Of the
present era"
This statement comes from Hiram S.
Cody, vice president of the Cody Trust
Co. of Chicago. who will submit fore
closure data TO the annual convention
of the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America next week at Dallas, Tex.
Conditions to Be Barred.
at is planned that one result of this
movement Mr.. Cody continues, will
be the regular collection and distribu
ton of dependable statistics on fore
closures, occupancy, new construction
and other aspects of home finance"
A Nationwide picture of the real
estate foreclosure situation is to be pre-
sented to the Mortgage Bankers Asso-
ciat on.
No one should minimize the serious
ness of foreclosures. Mr.. Cody declares,
but. on the other hand, their signifi-
canoe should not be wrongfully exag-
n which no proper analysis has been
made.
Most community reports consist only
Of gross totals of the mortgages fore
closed, an entirely unreliable indicator
of the true situation" he states. Such
totals almost always include junior
mortgages as we'll as first mortgages,
thus rejecting unfairly upon the sound
ness OF first mortgage financing. failing
to take into consideration the fact that
owners overextended themselves and
did not acquire a sufficient equity at
the start.
Complete Data Needed.
Furthermore, it makes a big diff
ference whether a million dollars of
foreclosures includes four loans of a
quarter million each on skyscraperS or
200 loans of $4,000 each on homes.
The only sound method of analyzing
defaults is to obtain an itemized record
OF each foreclosure showing the amount
involved and whether it was a first
mortgage or junior mortgage.
In Cook County, Ill, with a popula-
ton OF four million and a total as
sesSed valuation in 1929 of land and
buildings of three and a half billion
dollars, such a detailed analysis has
been made by the Chicago Mortgage
Bankers Association
"One general public impression is
that small homes constitute the bulk of
real estate defaults. Among the find
1ngs in the Cook County study is the
TACT that less than per cent of the
total first mortgage foreclosures, in dol
lars and cents, so far in 1881 were on
mortgages of less than $4,000, and, of
course, only a portion of this group
were on homes. Likewise, the study
shows that less than "a per cent of the
entire number of parcels foreclosed
under first mortgages were for amounts
under $4,000"
