Millions Put at Disposal for
Home Owners to Make
Repairs.

Financial institutions in many Sec
tions of the country are cooperating
with the Federal Housing Administra-
ton by allocating large sums of
money specifically for insured mort
gage loans and modernization credit.
The practice is becoming more preva-
lent weekly, according to reports re-
ceived in the Washington headquar-
ters of the Housing Administration.
Under this procedure, the banks al
locate a specific amount of funds for
such applications and advertise the
fact to the general public. Such allo-
cations received from three States so
far aggregate in excess of S12,9l0,000.
Most recent to report is Minnesota,
with total reported ALLEGATIONS to date
being in excess of s6,000,OOO. Indiana

The movement is probably more
widespread than indicated by the fig

Federal Housing Administration. The

the State director, who made check

a practice was in effect in Indiana and
Illinois. In reply to letter he sent
to banks in Minnesota he obtained

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

The classic architectural character
OF Washington was dictated by one
man-Robert Mills, Federal architect
from 1886 to 1851.
A story of his life. written by Mrs.
H. M. Pierce Gallagher, and recently
published by the Columbia Univer-
sity Press, New York. establishes his
claims and throws many interesting
sidelights on the development of the
Nations Capital
Born and educated at Charleston.
S. c., Mills had distinguished part
in the evolution Of his native town
and Philadelphia. Baltimore and other
cities before he came to live in the
District of Columbia in 1880. He
was a friend of Thomas Jefferson and
of Andrew Jackson and had been
employed by Benjamin H Latrobe in
his youth. approximately so years
of age at the time of his arrival, ha
was at the apex of his powers as a
designer, engineer and supervisor of
construction. and soon won for 1irn-
self a reputation second to none in
mis- profession.
started SCHOOL.
His first effort in Washington was
to set upsa school for architects. The
venture failed. but its collapse did
its sponsor no harmon the contrary,
1t contributed to the public respect
which he was achieving by his in
telligence, experience and courteous
manners.
Meanwhile plans for a building to
house the newly organized Smith
sonian Institution were being dis
cussed, and Mills had something to
do with the choice of a modified
Gothic style for the structure. A
long report on the subject, made by
him to Robert Dale Owen, still is
eXtant.
On March 81, 1893. the fourth of a
succession of Treasury Department
Buildings was destroyed by fire, and
the accident gave the South Caro-
linian the opportunity he was seek-
ing. Fireproof1ng was pet idea"
with him, and he Immediately set to
work to design a new Treasury edi-
fee which should be immune to
flames. His inspiration was the
famous Erechtheum at Athens-a per-
feet example of the Ionic order.
He labored over the plans until

Home Construction Pace
Approaches Volume of
1929.
35 APPLICATIONS ASK
S244, $50 IN MORTGAGES
Mutual Insurance System Speeds
Work-Montgomery County
Builders Active.

The mutual mortgage insurance
plan of the Federal Housing Admin
istration has played a definite part
in the last few weeks in acceleratine
new home building in Washington
and the surrounding sections of Vir-
ginia and Maryland to point where
in some sections it is equal to the
activity of pre-depression years.
Home construction rate during the
last few weeks in Washington has
not approached the pace set 10 years
ego, but comes close in volume to
the months of 1929, and is several
hundred per cent greater than last
year. Real estate men Of Arlington
County state that homes are being
built in that section of Virginia at
faster rate now than during the So
called boom time of the 20s.
The ring of the bricklayer's trowel
and the rap of hammers are also
much in evidence in Montgomery
County, Md, as home construction
there hits a new high for recent
years.
F. H. AS mutual mortgage plan
has taken an important role in the
construction revival in each of the
sections However. in the Capital
proper it has probably proved more
successful than in the outlying parts
of the metropolitan area.

plan could apply directly to F. H. A.

TAX BURDEN SEEN
AS REALTY PERIL
New York ReaItor Says
High Levies Hold
Values Down.
Real estate values under our present

Real estate values under our present
system of taxation are being de-
stroyed, and economic recovery can
not be hoped for until real estate
is relieved of the constantly grow
ing burden of taxation" which it
is called upon to bear. Morton r.
Cross, nationally known realtor of
New York City, declared in an ad-
dress this week.
Cross asserts that elected officials
have through extravaganza and mis-
management in government, run our
National. State, county and city gov
eminent into debt through an unfair
and unjust method of taxation that
today is becoming hardship on every
one" adding that business must be
controlled but not by methods that
are unfair or arbitrary"
Cross continued:
The two dominating factors that
indubitably control the prosperity Of
this country are business and real
estate. When business is prosperous.
that prosperity is reflected in real
estate. Upon general business con-
ditions rests the expansion of real
estate. with the added employment
of labor and capital which, in the
final analysis, Is the controlling factor
of prosperity or depression.
But even with the return Of pros
perity there are two elements which,
unless they are corrected. will con-
tinue to retard the expansion of real
estate out of proportion to general
business recovery. One of these is the
hazard of strikes arising out of un-
settled disputes, the other. the con-
stantly growing burden of taxation.
"Of the strike hazard and its dis
turbing consequences, the recent situ-
alton in New York City is an out
standing example. There is no ques-
ton but that the rights of the en-
ploye must be guaranteed but, by the
same token, the rights of capital
and those of the investor must also
be safeguarded.
Even more menacing to health
full condition of business and the
real estate industry is the increasing
tax burden real estate is called upon to
bear and the tremendous increase in
tax burden being placed upon busi-
ness in general. Real estate is an
absolute index of business conditions
and reflects in collections and rental
inactivity the general business con-
ditions OF our country"
