Plan to Revive Building
Industry Laid Down by
CITY Man.

A plan to revive the building in
dustry by financing home construc-
ton through proposed National
Home Finance Corporation was sug-
gested today in an article by H. l..
Seeger, Sol North Bradley avenue,
indianapolis contractor, in the cur
rent issue of Wood Construction, a
lumber publication.
The sale of securities by the
united producers of materials, their
distributors and their employees
through a National Home Finance
Corporation. similar to the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, is the
solution for the construction indus
try" writes Mr.. Seeger.
The loans would not be based on
mortgages, and the title to the
property would vest in the corpora
ton. The prospective builder would
become a stakeholder in the corpo-
ration up to within so per cent Of
the value of the total price of his
lease purchase.
Upon the purchase Of $4,000 of
stock from the corporation as an
investor, he (the prospective build
err becomes eligible to credit for
So. 500 additional stock to complete
payment for a $4,000 home. The
title is placed with the corporation,
ard a (sale) contract Of lease with
option to purchase on conditions is
made.
If the lessee forfeits by default,
his loss is $1,000, as $500 of the
stock received is retained by the
stakeholder, which makes him a
partner with all other stockholders
in the title ownership of all prop
erty owned by the corporation.
The control of the title by the
corporation Stabilizes the price
values of the total holding and its
income value. plus its control of ex-
cess construction"

tributor to the Message Center of
