State Exceeds Quota
 For Housing Loans
Waterbury Makes Excellent Showing Under Modern-
 ization Plan of Government; Committee Announced

isfactory showing and because or the excellent cooperation between the local banks and the various contractors large number of loans for Improvements in prop erty have been and are being made by the Waterbury banks.
 The better housing movement enables property owners in good standing to borrow from $l0O to $2,000 for any type of modernizaz- tion, repairs and renovation elig- ible to be done under the national housing act. The money loaned Is to be used to pay for material or repairs immediately upon comple- tion, in cash. The property owner repays the financial institution the amount of his loan In equal monthly installments, running in many cases from one, to three years, and sometimes five years. No collaterial security or endors- CTS are necessary to borrow this money for modernization purposes, and the complete charge for a loan of this type is $5 per year per $100.90 loan.
 The fact that Waterbury banks are behind this activity is indi- cated by the representative list of local bankers who form the bank ers' division of the Waterbury federal housing committee. This committee numbers among its members: Austin. l.. Adams, Fletcher Judson, Frederick C.. Mason, Edwin s. ,Northrop, Lewis $. Reed. II. $. Seeley.

Recovery From Drought
Conditions Noted-LeSs
Relief Extended.
BY the Associated Press.


A remarkable comeback from 1934's
disastrous drought was reported today
by the A. A. A. officials said the Ma
ton practically has recovered from the
calamity.
A year ago today, the headlines were
telling of scorched plains, damaged
. crops, Government purchasing of
cattle to prevent them from starving.
Now conditions are much better.
Thousands of families who depended
on Government relief for the neceS-
sites of life have returned to self
sustaining basis, officials said. In ad
dition, the Resettlement Administra-
ton reports that 290,155 farm families
have been taken off the relief rolls to
be placed in the rural rehabilitation
classification.
On February /, 1885, the Govern
ment's charts showed a drought area
covering 1,480 counties in rs States.
Now the area has been narrowed to 131
counties in five Southwestern
Kansas, Eastern Colorado, Northwest
ern Oklahoma. the Texas Panhandle
and New Mexico.
8,279,000 Cattle Purchased.
From June /, 1884, when the cattle
buying program of the A. A. A. was
begun as relief measure for drought
areas, until February l, 1885, the end
OF the program, the Government
bought 8,279,000 head of cattle from
696 900 farms in "a States. Cost of the
cattle was Sill, Sal 900, or $l340 per
head.
Those cattle found edible were
killed and canned with the exception
OF about 100000 head still held in
pastures and ranges.
In addition, the Government bought
S,608, 700 sheep in the drought Sec
tionS, for a total cost of $7,219l52.
Abundant rains in the Spring, good
growing conditions, and prospects for
ample food and feed crops this year
have resulted in predictions by
. A. A A. officials that there will be no
. danger of food or feed shortage this
Fall and Winter. They say the agri-
cultural sections rapidly are approach
ing normal conditions.
825,00O Families on Rolls.
However, the rural problem is not
solved. For example, Resettlement
Administration officials reported a
total of $4,000 rural families still on
relief rolls
The Resettlement Administration
reported that during the year ended
May l, 1885, costs of the 290,l55 farm
families under supervision as rehabili-
tation clients were $29,234,69l, or an
average of S101 per family
The States which had the largest
number of rehabilitation clients were
In the South and in the Middle West.
where the effects of the 1884 drought
were felt most heavily.
officials of the ReSettlement Ad-
miniStration say the generous crops
and improved pastures and ranges
which are now indicated will be of
considerable help in removing the
balance of the Nations farmers from
relief rolls. An official predicted that
a vastly improved situation will be
noted when crops are harvested in
the Fall.
