than II 900 home owners In Maryland
have been aided by the Home Owners
Loan Corp, between 10000 and as
900 men have been given work on P.
w. A. Jobs. and the better housing
program has caused dearth of build

ing Administration for Maryland.
He stressed the need for . plan OF
work relief in Maryland. This State,
he said, Is backward in this respect,
and he quoted contractors to show
morale Is deteriorating among men
who have had no work for two years.
Mr.. Hungerford suggested that the
present practice be reversed so that

workers furnished and paid by local
agencies. This, he said, would accele-
rate work relief.

chairman Of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board. said. "A gratifying thing
about this increase in private invest
ment in Federal savings and loan asso-
Citations Is that 1t took place prior to
the actual insurance Of accounts held
in these institutions. and therefore
does not reflect the value Of this addi-
tional safeguard in attracting the saw
inss Of the people.
During the past few weeks, nearly
800 Federal savings and loan associa-
tioas have been certified fer insurance
by the Federal Savings and Loan In
surance Corp. Every investor in such
an insured institution Is fully pro-
tected up to $1,000. It Is hoped that
within . short time, insurance will
be extended to all the 592 Federal saw
ings and loan associations SO far
chartered, which are now actively
carrying on their thrift and home
financing functions in some 500 towns
and cities in 40 different States and
to some 50 State-chartered institu-

ance."

House design, either faddish or in

ers, declared E. L. Gilbert, Eastern
editor Of American Builder magazine.
Normally more than half million
white-collar workers are directly en-
ployed by the building industry"
stated Gilbert, "and revival Of build
ing to an extent equal to half the
annual volume of the so-called boom
years would result in the re-employ-
ment Of hundreds Of thousands OF
clerks, stenographers. bookkeepers,
agents, designers, craftsmen, sales
people and other white-collar workers.
Preference to the 1880 census re-
ports shows how conservative such an
estimate may be considered" Gilbert
said. Contractors and builders

praisers, abstractors, etc, would be in

FEDERAL CHANGES
TO AID BUILDING
Impetus Seen From Impor-
tant Developments in
Housing Act.

Important developments in the ad-
ministration Of the national housing
act are expected to give decided i'm
petus to the better housing program
during Winter months, the construc-
ton industry believes.
Coupled with new building antici-
pated under the long-range mort
gage insurance program of the Fed
eral Housing Administration, business
men believe the threat of competi-
ton from new housing will have the
effect of stimulating widespread re-
pair and modernization of existing
properties as oWners-particularl
landlords-seek to combat the induce
ment offered by these newly built
homes.
Already the Nationwide property
repair and rehabilitation movement Of
the Federal Housing Administration
has created more than 500, ,000, 900 in
business for the construction and al
lied industries. Under the leadership
of campaign committees in 5000
odd communities, this total Is mount
ing at the rate of nearly $4,000. 900 a
day. Administrator James A. Moffett
estimates. The majority of this work
has been done on single-famtly homes
by owners.
Broadened Loan Scope.
Supplementing these developments,
the Federal Housing Administration
hos hrN Inral tha nf hNrrnU.
ing eligibility under Title Of the act,
authorizing insurance Of loans made
by private lending institutions for
modernization and repair.
Under the revised regulations, an
entire family's gross income may be
taken as the basis Of a modernization
loan.
Heretofore. 1t had been required that
the borrower have q bona f1de source
Of annual income at the time Of appli-
cation at least five times the annual
payments" This section now reads:
The maker (or husband and wife
Jointly, or other members Of the fam
lily. II signers) must have q stated bona
fide gross annual income at the time
Of application, or sufficiently in pros
pect to satisfy the financial institution,
equal to at least five times the annual
payments"
Loans for Land Improvement.
Another important change permits
the construction Of Improvements on
unimproved property up to $4,000.
Previously, loans could be made only
FOR the improvement Of property on
which some sort of structure already
existed. The number of pieces of
property on which an individu-l bor-
rover may negotiate loans is now un-
limited. whereas before the maximum
was five.
Loans Of this type may now be ex-
tended over q period of five years at
the discretion Of the lending institu-
tion. Heretofore, final maturity has
been three years, with possible five-
year term allowable by specific author
ization of the Federal Housing Admin
stration.
Delinquent taxes no longer are an
absolute bar to modernization credit.
The regulations now provide that the
bank may use its own discretion in
extending credit, the status of taxes,
assessments and payments on princi-
pal and interest Of mortgage not
affecting the eligibility Of a note for
insurance.
