HOMEWORK IS ING LAID FOR
 MOVEMENTS
k of Home Moderniza- on Expected to Start in pring. Connors States

S 9roundwork is being laid in Ju- xpu for very substantial amount
 home improvement work" it
 |9 stated today by J. J. Connors, <pueral Chairman of the Juneau
 tier Housing Program. "Of c&lrse, much modernization is be- iNt carried forward at this time,
 th on a cash basis and through Nens made possible by the Na- tcnsl Housing Act.
 It is realized, however, that the
 0lk of the work cannot be un- 01rtaken until spring. The Commit toe feels that by explaining the
 one Modernization program at this time the public will be in- formed as to the proper procedure m obtaining loans when work on larger scale becomes possible.
 And I think there can be no doubt that there is plenty of room Tor Improvement of our homes. It 'is my observation that there are few indeed which do not need at least a coat of paint, and if the home owner can do nothing else he can at least improve the ap- pearance of his property and make for a cleaner, brighter city by painting his house.
 Confusion Cleared Up T have found some confusion regarding interest rates on home nodernization loans, but think the misunderstanding has been largely cleared up by the state ment issued by John E. Pegues, Territorial Director for the Fed sTal Housing Administration. The plain fact of the matter is that money never before could be ob- tained so cheaply for such purpos- es.
 Tt occurs to me that even the prevailing rate may, in effect, be reduced. It has been my experience that building and supply houses are very glad to give discounts for cash purchases. That discount ranges from 2 per cent upwards, have found. Since a person improving his home by means of moderni- zation loan receives cash from the bank before the work even starts, there is no reason why he cannot pay for building supplies promptly and thus further reduce his costs. suggest that those who are in- terested in doing work of this character talk with the supply dealers and ascertain if the latter are not entirely willing to give dis counts for cash"
