APPROVED BY.
SAVINGS GROUP
Seven Home Owners to Get
$4,000 Through Local
Federal Institution

Approval of seven loan appi-
cations totaling $4,000 were
voted last night by the board of
directors of the First Federal Saw
ings & Loan Association of Hen
Jacksonville in its first meeting
since the institution was formally
organized here under provisions
of the federal home owners loan
act of 1888.
Two of the prospective borrow
ers contemplate the construction
of new dwellings, while the others
will use the money to modernize,
enlarge or otherwise improve
their properties in keeping with
the intent of the government in
extending aid to home owners.
D. H. Lee, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, said the institution IS
ready to issue additional invest
ment and savings shares and to
receive additional applications
for loans. Under its plan of Or
ganization, the association is au-
thorized to make loans for i'm
provements to property or for
new construction to the extent of
it's paid-in assets and then to call
upon the United States treasury
for full-paid stock subscriptions
equal to three times the amount
invested by local shareholders, all
of this money to be loaned on
first-mortgages or desirable and
improved real estate in this conf
Four classes of shares in the
association are available to local
investors - installment riff
shares, optional savings shares,
prepaid shares, and full-paid in
come shares-and Mr.. Lee point
ed out that the extent to which
the institution will be able to
place additional loans will depend
largely on the amount invested
locally. In addition to the money,
which the United States treasury
will invest, the local association
can borrow from the federal
home owners loan bank at Win
ston-Salem in an amount up to
35 per cent of the total invested.
Home loans secured through
the association are re-payaDle
over a period of eleven years and
seven months at six per cent IN
terest. The principal difference
between one of the four types of
shares and another is in the
method of paying for them, which
varies from so cents month on
installment payments to $500 IN
outright lump sum payment. Any
method of payment to suit the IN
weston is available. The associa-
ton does not accept deposits or
nav out money on checking &C
counts, although an amount up to
500 may be withdrawn in any
one month without advance notice
by the shareholder.

man of the meeting last night in

The garage in which the ransom

NEW YORK, September al
Crowds milled today around the
scene of the break" in the Lind
bergh case.
Soon after the arrest Of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, the suspect, was
made known yesterday neighbors
gathered bareheaded and coatless and
discussed with each other what they
knew about Hauptmann.
The neighbors who discussed
Hauptmann decided they knew very
little about him. The sum of their
information was that he was nice
man who kept to himself, and that
he left the house every morning,
came back every night, and that he
owned q boat.
The house in which Hauptmann
lives with his wife and 10-month-old
baby is at 1879 East Two Hundred and
Twenty second street, the Bronx. II
is built Of stucco and 1t houses three
families. The Hauptmanns live on
the top floor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Max Rauch own the
house and live on the first floor front
and Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Schleisser
live in the rear.
To the left of the house Is q
narrow, weedy lot bounded by Gin
der path which Is labeled Needham
avenue. Across this path and slightly
to the rear of the house Is the garage
that held the money.
The house and garage are not more
than 200 yards west Of the busy
Boston Post road. The cinder path
called Needham avenue leads back
to 223d street, which Is only lane
through q deeply wooded section.
The most prominent spot on the

Baltimore Real Estate Men Charge
Discrimination in Favor of

BALTIMORE, September 15.-
Charges of discrimination against
property owners whose houses are
occupied by relief clients as compared
to treatment of purveyors of food
and other necessities, we're made this
week against the Baltimore Emergency
Relief Commission and the Governors
committee In statement of Cleveland
r. Bealmear, chairman of the invest
ment property owners division of the
Real Estate Board.
I'VE insist" he said, ''that it is
grossly unfair for the B. E. r. C.'s
several hundred workers to go about
the city fixing rental values of
houses occupied by relief clients at
less than half the present deprecated
market value. The commission has
not attempted to force purveyors Of
food, clothing and other necessities
to sell their commodities at less than
the prevailing market rate. This
latter is entirely proper and we make
no complaint against this practice"
As an example of this unfarness the
statement cites that $3.50 per month
is allowed as monthly rental for a
six-room house. assessed at $1,000
and at the same time gives occupants
of such house $5.40 month for gas
and electricity. AS q result many
property owners already have served
notices on relief tenants that their
rent would be stated amount paid

says z. L. Gilbert In the current issue
Of Advertising and Selling Magazine,
"The emphasis will be toward bet
ter quality" he says, because long
term mortgages allow the home buyer
to include the best quality products,
with sufficient time to pay for them
During the depression every consumer
and business man found it necessary
to be cautious regarding expenditures
"a perfectly natural tendency; In res
idential building this lowering of
standards has developed very widely.
Since 1928 demand has grown in

and has encouraged the development
Of pre-fabricated houses, the offering
of many new imitation and synthetic
products. Contractors, builders and

In competition, have had little re-

Of unsatisfactory, cheap products have
been accepted.
Utility Main Factor.
THE primary function of any dwell
ing is utilitarian," says Gilbert.
Therefore, house which does not
serve for many years is highly unsuc-
cesful. The home is intended to pro-
tect its occupants from the vicissitudes
OF the climate, to provide a place
wnere relaxation and rest may be OBJ
tained in safety, and to furnish a
workshop wherein the everyday prob
lems OF life may be effectively solved
I'VE all know that paying a little
more Tor something is oftentimes a
guarantee OF greater satisfaction, both
in It's possession and longevity of
service. This is unquestionably true
OF products used in building. A cheap
job may look fine when first COM
pleted. but after a few years its many
defects became apparent It was the
insistence Of promoters that work be
done too quickly and too cheaply
which was largely responsible for the
much deplored Jerry builders; Incl
dentally, the Jerry builders were con-
demned because of the inferior quality
of their projects. never due to the low
prices they charged.
Quality Not Always Expensive.
"a higher first cost for materials
and workmanship in residential build
ing does not necessarily mean a more
expensive job in the long rum" says
Gilbert. I'm fact, the installation
cost for cheap equipment is usually as
high as for the best products; over a
period of 20 years (the time allowed
to pay of mortgages under title II of
the national housing act) continued
replacement of cheap home building
products will be much more expensive
for the home owner than installation
of the best quality materials and
workmanship in the beginning. In
home building particularly the best is
usually the cheapest in the long run.
"Pride Of craftsmanship has always
been a yardstick in the mechanics
of home building, and 1t has always
been true that quality rather than
quantity OF work distinguish the arti-

Here" he adds, would appear

antee Of a small part Of this down
payment would boost home buying
tremendously. Moreover. it would
throw about the home-buying public
a safeguard sorely needed and vir-
tually bring to an end the reign OF
the shyster builder"
Says Dealer Is Helpless.
The local builder and real estate
dealer is helpless in the present sit-
uation, according to Mr.. Simon.
IF we don't hold to our set policy
Of getting a fair down payment we
are going to invite flood of ir-
responsible customers who will look
upon the purchase Of home as e
gamble. Not having a sufficient
financial interest in it to look after
its proper upkeep they will leave
after a few years and the cost Of
rehabilitation will set the builder or
agent back more than he received in
payments.
ANY breakdown in our policy Of
demanding a fair down payment
would lead to the situation you today
have in the automobile business,
where almost any sort of car may
ne bought for IS. It would not alone
dlsorganize the home-buying market.
but 1t would likewise ruin the retail
market"
Cites Specific Example. a
In support of his point Mr.. Simon
SAYS:
ITO my own personal knowledge one
large realty firm Of this city lost three
sales In one day because the would-be

of these were splendid risks, as the
banks put it.
ut is my opinion that II the Gov

gate the needs of such worthy would
be home buyers and help them with
the small amount needed on the down
payment 1t would do more toward ad-
vancing the cause Of good housing
than the Federal Housing Administra-
ton has yet accomplished.
/ ct realize that the Housing Admin
istration thus far has given all its at
tention to the matter Of home repair
ing and slum clearance and there may
lurk at the back of the brain of these
officials precisely the plan I am ad-
vancing. ! hope so. because II this
