ON HOME REPAIR
Aggregate Volume of Loans
by H. O. L. c. to March IA
Totals S2,5O6, ,226, 1873.

More than $51,000,000 has been
spent or awarded in contracts to date
for necessary repairs on borrowers
homes during mortgage refinancing
operations by the Home Owners Loan
Corp. The aggregate volume Of loans
by the corporation up to March IA
reached $2,506,226,133, representing
the refinancing Of past due mortgages
on s3o,3l5 individual urban homes
throughout the country.
Expenditures for essential repairs
and reconditioning are authorized by
law to be incorporated in the loans,
which, the corporation emphasizes, are
restricted to home owners who were
threatened with foreclosure under their
original mortgages. Although the main
purpose of repairs was to protect the
property against depreciation, the
actual work has opened wide market
for labor and construction materials
in many communities and, by its ex-
ample to other home owners, has as
sisted the better housing program OF
the National Government.
Employment Provided.
CORPORATION officials estimate that
Improvement contracts let to date
provide for almost 100000 labor
days" or about 100000 man hours
of employment nationally in the con-
struction trades. About 125, 900 pri-
yate contractors, small and large, it Is
estimated, have been awarded con-
tracts through the corporation.
Contracts executed in all States
number 298,577, amounting to $751;
34s,2l2. OF those 206,357 individual
repair jobs to dollar volume OF $32,-
324,990 have been actually completed
and approved after final inspection
by the corporation and the home
owner concerned. An additional lSO,-
900 cases are pending, which will bring
the total Of disbursements Tor repairs
to approximately $8l,O00,Oo0.
Most reconditioning jobs include
several types of repairs. Analysis OF
the work in one State shows that ex-
terror painting is required in "a per
cent of the reconditioning loans al
lowed and roofing repairs In Al per
cent. The principal remaining items
include chimney and foundation re-
pairs and replacement Of plumbing
and heating equipment.
Work Properly Planned.
Repairs are carried out under the
direction Of the reconditioning divi.
sion of the corporation, consisting o1
personnel trained in architecture anc
building whose duty Is to see that the
work is properly planned and EN-
ciently done at the least expense ano
that the building interests in the COM
munity are treated fairly. The division
acts as agent of the borrower. The
contractors are chosen by the home
owner after the submission Of two OF
more bids. The work, as completed
must be entirely satisfactory to the
home owner before it is approved anc

souvenir.
Many years later his widow
presented it to Leroy Pelletier, of

Mr.. Pelletier felt that the flag
should be placed in some position

Naval Academy. His offer was
accepted, and today it will be
presented at ceremony in Dahl

which already contains many his
toric items.
Admiral David Foote Sellars,
commandant of the academy, will
receive the flag, and it will be
