have had the advantage of this type
of information respecting their own
business. Unfortunately the real
estate industry has not. Today the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards stiIl regards the changing
character OF neighborhoods as the
major risk factor in their considera-
ton and an important element in the
continued high cost Of home and
other mortgage financing.
Our block breakdown Of cities
provides us with an accurate knowl-
edge of all conditions that ought to
be considered in the mortgage bust
ness. We are able to determine the
average rental per block, TIE total
number Of structures per block, the
percentage of the total number of
structures under Is years old, the
percentage Of dwelling units that are
owner-occupied, those that need
major repairs and those unit for
occupancy, those used for CONNER
cial purposes, the percentage Of per-
sons In the block of different races,
etc.
ut appears obvious that this and
q general knowledge Of neighborhood
trend are vitality important to both
mortgage and mortgagor. Yet this
Is theory and practice never before
attempted by the real estate industry.
Our Information, Of course, has been
gathered solely for the use OF the
Federal Housing Administration. The
net result, Is, that We are destined to
get a more intelligent understanding
OF city growth. We should be able to
foresee with greater accuracy what
conditions IN individual cases may be
In years to come. Hence the survey
In itself will keep the Federal Hous-
ing Administration from making many
common mistakes in obtaining its
ultimate objectives-to raise the
standard Of living, provide more peo-
pie with better homes and greater
c0nveniences."

The report describes the relation
ship which should exist between the
architectural profession as represented
by the institute and the Government,
saying:
The Government has right to
receive and its citizens have right
to demand that it require and insist
upon the highest type Of architectural
service available. The architecture Of
the public buildings should represent
the best which the highest talent Of
the country Is capable of producing.

The major risk factor In mort

out Of the mortgage business, accord

With such a survey already COM
pleted In "a cities over the country,
according to DR.. Ernest Fisher, di-
rector of the Division Of Economics
and Statistics, the Federal Housing
Administration has a far clearer pic
ture Of the anatomy of city than II
has been possible to obtain before.
1t fits in with the rather complex
workings Of the administration by
providing an understandable basis for
computing values and making ap-

So far reaching In its potentialities
Is this new and revolutionary step in
the Federal Housing Administrator
program that ultimately mortgage
investors will operate under q system
almost totally devoid OF risk and

Three Attributes Of Color,

Color has three attributes or sdi-
mension";; hue, value and chrcma.
Hue is that quality which dis
tinguishes one color from another.
Value is that quality which dis
tinguishes light tints OF color from
dark shades. Chroma refers to the
intensity Of color-that quality Of dis
tinguishing bright, fine colors from
subdued or grayed colors.

on in golf has been limited mainly TO
the national open title tourney, all
