Executive Order May

Firms Competing for State, Municipal Work May Take
 Advantage of Is Per Cent Clause

President Roosevelt's executive order concerning the sale of goods to municipalities and other public corporations, a copy of which has been received by the local officials, will, in the opinion of Controller Daniel J. Leary and Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly tend to save the city much money on its purchases. The executive order gives those selling to public cor porations a 15 per cent leeway on all code prices.
 In other words, bidders may submit estimates of not more than 15 per cent less than the prices called for in code requirements when they are selling to the city of Waterbury. It is believed by the

Widespread Housing Interest
Sho,cn by Flood of Questions

overhead irrigation channels. The
answer to these, questions is that a
portable channel Is not eligible. Sew
eral recent inquiries were about sound
equipment for theaters and churches,
the answer being that the wiring for
sound equipment Is eligible, but that
the actual sound machinery is not.
Oh burners, gas burners, air-condi-
tioning equipment, kitchen ranges and
similar equipment are eligible when
buiit-in.
Some dilemmas are quickly decided
and some are not. One man who
lives in one city and owns property
In another wanted to know in which
city to apply for his loan. The answer
was in either city.
Another unique problem was pre-
sented by property owner, whose
four sons earned all the income for
the family. He wanted to know
whether he could get moderniza-
ton loan on the income of these four
sons. The answer was to take this
particular problem to the institution
to which application for the loan
would be made.
In many instances, 1t was pointed
out, the only way to get final answer
Is to apply for q modernization loan
and let the lending institution decide.
The lending institution is authorized
to make the loan at its discretion,
within the liberal regulations made by
the F. H. A. and is never under the
least compulsion to make q loan
against its Judgment.

Widespread and growing public
interest In the better housing program
is shown by the daily barrage of ques-
tions received by letter, wire and
telephone from property owners in all
sections Of the country, chiefly con-
cerning modernization loans.
According to r. H. A. oficials, taxes
are among the chief worries Of the
questioners, the most frequent being
whether part of O. modernization loan
may be used to pay taxes. The answer
to this is definitely mo" Every doll
lar of every modernization loan must
60 directly for payment OF repairs,
alterations and Improvements OF real
property.
A companion question Is whether
property owners. delinquent in their
taxes, are eligible for modernization
loans. The answer is that the matter
is left entirely to the discretion Of
the bank or other lending institution,
with the one proviso that no part Of
the loan itself must be used to pay
these taxes.
Some inquirers who want to move
their houses are told that a loan for
such q purpose is eligible, although
there is a rule against loans on "mov-
able" property. A house is considered
permanent" in spite Of its shift OF
base.
Many questions concern movable
property. There are numerous in
quiries concerning loans on portable

THIS house was developed by the
designers, j.. Himmelheber, r.
Barnes and z. Weihe, follow
Il ing as closely as practical
ideas advanced by a client.
With the close cooperation of the
builder, it was possible to obtain a
home not only of pleasing and prac-
tical design, but at reasonable cost.
The particular house was built by
Cooper Lightbown & Son for MIR. and
Mrs. Allen Sherwin in Westmoreland
Hills, Md.
The lot, one having very informal
charm into which the French pro-
vincial architecture readily fitted, is
elevated slightly a from the street so
that the house of white painted brick
presents pleasing appearance against
background of foliage.
The dark slate roof and stained
oak lintels contrast vividly with the
white.
The plan as shown above indicates
the simplicity which makes the con-
struction cost minimum fors a house
of this size.
Ip keeping with this simplicity, the
severe clean-cut lines of the eleva-
ton possess sheer beauty that fits
with the plans. Not single item of
construction or decoration which was
not necessary was used. The beauty
of the facade is purely in the balance
and the proportions of the masses
necessary to the practical layout of
the various areas.
This house is of brick throughout,
except the overhanging front gable,
which is of textured stucco. The
windows are of the latest steel case
ment sash.

H.0.L. C. APPRAISERS
GIVEN EXAMINATION
Federal Aid Body Develops Sys-
tenn Along Efficient
Lines.

Steps by which the Home Owners
Loan Corp. has developed its ap-
praisal system upon an increasingly
efficient level are illustrated by the
announcement today by Philip W.
KniSkern, appraised adviser to the
board, that special examiners sent
out by the Washington office of the
corporation have been giving examina-
tons to the force of some 5000 mem
bers Of the appraisal division through
out the United States.
The examinations were designed to
disclose individual ability with re-
gard to accuracy of valuation, de-
pendability, intelligence, professional
standing, integrity, experience and
competence to deal with unforeseen
contingencies in appraisal operations.
AS result of the examinations, ap-
pralserS have been graded among five
different classifications.
In handling the 1,600, 900 applica-
tions by home owners for mortgage
relief already made to the corpora
tion," Kniskern said: Probably no
step has been more vital to home
owners, to the corporation and to the
entire urban real estate market than
the establishment of fair property
values as the basis for the long-term
amortized loans of the corporation.
"Ef1cient appraisal reduces the risks
OF generalization, which would be in
furious to the corporations interest,
and OF differentiation, which would
adversely affect home owners and
holders of home mortgages. Appli-
cations numbering 100000 have al
ready been carried through the ad-
vanced stage of fee appraisal, and
over 10000 loans have been granted"
