Declaring the Federal Housing Ad-
h1inistration's program is the greatest

American housing authorities on a
long-range housing and slum clear
ance program for the Nation, and at
the same time the Federal Housing
Administration reported a so per cent
increase in repairs and additions to
buildings
Poole explained to the architects
that the dream here is to make Wash
ington the most beautiful city of homes
in the world. He said the immediate
purpose of the drive is modernization
of 10000 buildings, of which some
$4,000 are homes in need of repair.
VermiIyea Speaks.

owners to borrow on character at low
cost and repay in installments.
