petition with private initiative. Mr..
MacDougall said.
The committees report urged real
estate boards in every city to CO.
operate in the effort to obtain legiS-
lation in their respective States at the
earliest possible moment to enable
banks, insurance companies and other
financing institutions legally to make
insured mortgage loans up to the full
extent permitted under title of the
national housing act and to invest in
insured mortgages and National
Mortgage Association obligations un-
der the act.
Two States have taken action, the
Federal Housing Administration an
nounced. Governors of 38 States have
responded to President Roosevelt's
appeal for such legislation, in general
agreeing as to its importance. There
are in the States at present various
statutory limitations upon loans and
investments by banks, insurance COM
panies, building and loan associations,
trust companies and other flduciaries
which restrict their action in making
insured real estate loans.
Mr.. MacDougan advocated as q
housing program:
/. The establishment of competent
and permanent Federal, State and
local planning boards, free from po-
litical control, who will be charged
with the responsibility of providing the
Government with comprehensive local
and city plans for development and
have control and enforcement Of plans
affecting housing.
2. Funds for housing that could be
erected on a profitable and economic
basis provided by private or local in
stitutions authorized to do so, en-
couraged by liberal insurance guar
antee under the F. H. A.. with free
mortgage market of discount such as
a Federal Mortgage Discount Bank
would give, using the r. F. c. and
P. w. A. funds under the provisions
of R. F. C. circular No. 18, until such
mortgage discount bank may be estab-
lished in each of the Federal Reserve
districts in the United States.
3. Expansion Of the modernization
insurance plans Of the F. H. A. to
rehabilitate apartment buildings as
well as individual homes on a per
room basis. Enforce the rehabilita-
ton or demolition of all buildings
unfit for human habitation.
4. Encouragement of planning and
building on long term credit at low
cost ION a limited dividend basis) Of
substantial housing located where pos
sible, convenient to industry or good
cheap transportation and of such q
character that the owner or tenant
who can find seasonal or temporary
employment could provide additional
support of his family through the cul-
tivation of from one to five acres Of
tillable land.

HOUSTON, Tex, January 25-
Housing conditions in the United
States are improving, not so much
as the result of new building, but
through clearer understanding of the
problems involved and as a result OF
evidence of cooperation between Fed
eral agencies and private business
initiative in the undertaking. Edward
A. MacDougall, New York City, re-
ported to the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards at its annual
dressed the association as chairman
Of its Committee on Housing.
There are many sections Of the
country from which we have reports
that builders are ready to proceed
with housing to meet the need of the
local communities - both individual
homes and apartment buildings-as
soon as mortgage funds are available
for this purpose" Mr.. MacDougall
said. Many locations report full oc-
cupancy of existing housing. which is

there is a real need for more building
at this time"
There is growing appreciation OF
the need of a Federal mortgage dis
count bank to supplement and COM
plete present Federal agencies for
the Stabilization Of home mortgage
finance, Mr.. MacDougall said. And
there are many indications that such
an agency in some form will ulti-
mately be provided. He urged the
advisability of extending activity OF
the Federal Housing Administration
to include the reconditioning of ex-
listing housing Of all types. The pres
ent law limits insurance both as to
the amount Of the loan and as to the
type Of structure.
The recommendation from Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message to Congress
January 4 in respect to public i'm
provements to be undertaken with
Federal assistance would indicate, as
to housing, Federal policy that will

BETTER SANITATION
AIM OF F. H. A. DRIVE
Urgent Need for More Modern
Equipment Shown by Sur
vey Of Homes.

One Of the major objectives of the
better housing campaigns being con.
Quoted throughout the country under
auspices Of the Federal Housing Ad.
ministration is to provide at least the
elementary sanitary equipment for
the American home. The urgent need
for this special type Of modernization
is revealed in a study of the real
property inventory conducted by the
Department Of Commerce in "a Amer.
!can cities.
Sixteen per cent of owner occupied
homes were found to have neither
bath tub nor shower, the sectional va.
ration being from nearly IS per cent
in the East South Central States to
less than 9 per cent on the Pacific
Coast. Nearly 20 per cent Of rented
home had neither bath tub nor
shower, while one section reported
more than half the homes without
these facilities.
In two sections of the country, more
than third of rented homes had no
indoor water closet. while in three
sections more than a fifth of owner
occupied homes lacked this equipment.
This condition was revealed despite
the fact that the survey was confined
to cities. City homes are better
equipped, on the average, than homes
In small towns or in the country.
The typical American home" how
ever, has both these essential sanitary
facilities, according to the inventory.
This typical" home is a single-family
dwelling about 19 years old. Of wood
or frame construction, containing f1ve
rooms, equipped with either bath tub
or shower, indoor water closet, gas for
cooking and electricity for lighting.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 26.-Water
front developers and individual owners
of lots in such developments who de-
sire to build modest Summer homes
costing less than $4,000 for labor and
materials may borrow the full amount
needed under a new credit plan de-
viSed by Arthur E. Hungerford, Mary
land administrator for title l of the
national housing act.
c. Philip Pitt, secretary of the Real
Estate Board, in making the an
nouncement, said:
Those who already own lots or who
are in position to pay cash for their
lot need wait no longer to achieve
their ambition to build a Summer
home. Under this new plan all that is
required is an unencumbered title to
the lot and ability to make monthly
payments on their loan.
1.-The only other requirement or lin
itation is that the face value of the
credit investments must not exceed
$4,000 and the term of the loan must
not exceed five years"

BUILDINGS REPAIRED

Two historic buildings in Prince
Frederick, Md, recently found to be
endangered by termites, insects that
destroy the wood portion of a struc-
ture, are being repaired and treated
against the insects. The work is be-
ing done by the Washington office of
the Terminex Treating Co.
One of the structures, st. Pauls
Episcopal Church, built in 1848, had
a large section of the flooring and
sills beneath it so ravaged by ternlites
that it was unsafe to walk in that
portion of the building. Investigation
revealed that the wooden arches across
the roof also had suffered from the
insects.
Likewise, three churches in Wash
ington have recently undergone repairs
due to inroads of termites.

Paints to Match Fabrics.

An interior decorators trick to
harmonic the painted walls and trim
of a room with the furnishings is to
have them match the principal color
in curtains or upholstery fabrics. The
dominant hue in chintz pattern, for
example, may serve as guide for the
painter.

HOW TO 'ENLARGE' ROOM

Decorator Gives Hints on Saving
Space.
Much can be done through the art
of the interior decorator to remove
the cramped atmosphere of small liv-
ing rooms and to give an air Of
spaciousness to those of ordinary size
through arrangement of furniture and
furnishings and the judicious use Of
color.
One Of the first rules of the art IS
to keep the center of the room clear,
with the heavier pieces of furniture
and the rugs parallel or at right
angles to the walls. Small pieces of
furniture or round tables may be set
across the corners.
