This is another of a series of

Administration. The WASHINGTON
Times is the only newspaper in
the United States giving complete
Information about this project.
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Several persons among the doz-
ems who write daily to The
Washington Times for informa-
ton on the national housing pro-
gram have inquired if more than
one installment can be paid on
a mutual mortgage" at any one
time.
In other words, they wonder if
the principal can be paid off
more quickly than the length Of
time for which the mortgage
calls.
It seems probable that the
rules to be laid down by the Fed,
eral Housing Administration will
permit this procedure.
There should be no reason why
a person making monthly install.
mentS on such mortgage cannot
pay more, at any time, than is
called for in the installment due.
Bookkeeping a Factor
The regulations presumably will
provide, however, that any
amounts paid on the mortgage
over and above the regular in
stallments shall be in multiples Of
the inStallmentS.
Thus, if the installment is regu.
1arly $40, it should be permissible
to pay, at any one time, either $40,
or $40. or $50, or any other sum
into which $40 can be divided.
This rule would serve to aid in
the complicated procedure of keep
ing track of the mortgage. The
bookkeeping, accounting and other
tasks which a lending institution
must assume in handling install
ment buying are far more ex-
pensive and complicated than
many people imagine.
II such a ruling is made by the
Federal Housing Administration, it
undoubtedly will be coupled with
a regu, .tion that the property
owner will be credited with the
payment in such a way that he
will not be required to pay inter
est on the amount in the future.
Cooperation Sought
Such a course has been followed
in connection with the "moderni.
Iation" loans now being made
available by private financial in
stitutionS all over the country.
It should be as feasible in the
case Of the mutual mortgages. T"
The faster a mortgage is paid
up, the more money the lending
institution has in It's possession to
lend on other mutual mort
cages"
Let us hope that the banks and
building and loan associations of
the country cooperate!

"The Lido? You don't say! You
must be Sid Benton, then"
yeah, heard of me. huh?" Sid was
gratified. I'D probably own string
of swell restaurants like this If the
wife had let me have my way about
things for a while. You see, she had
the business when married her and
shed saved $4,000. I wanted her to
give me a free hand so 1 could build
the business up to something worth
bothering about, but you know how
women are, squawking all the time
Some of them are like that, all
right"
"She raised old Harry because I put
in little stock of booze. That was
before repeal, you know, and figured
to make some money. I had booths
put in upstairs, and they were pretty
nifty. She wouldn't have anything to
do with it, and when my customers
came in and asked for drinks she d
turn 'em down. Rotten business! We
got pinched couple of times, and
the fines were pretty heavy. but if
she'd been reasonable and played up
to my customers, I'd have brought us

You don't know what became of

"Nope," he said. Guess she's around
town somewhere. She's probably had
