Pamphlet Aids
QrmerS on
FHA Loans

How American farmers can
check the depreciation and i'm
prove the value and efficiency of
their properties is described in a
new illustrated pamphlet issued
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration this week.
The pamphlet gives information
as to how the farmers can par
ticipate in the better housing
program, now being carried for
ward in community campaigns
throughout the country.
This stage of the campaign of
the Housing Administration is
being taken as an indication of
the progress already made in ur.
ban sections in home moderniza-
ton. The pamphlet is carefully
worded so as to leave the farmer
no doubt as to the method to be
followed in obtaining a moderniza.
ton loan.
In other words, the Administra-
ton has it in mind that the farm
er is not as convientlY situated as
his city brother, who can tele-
phone the bank or building-loan
agency and obtain all necessary
information. He must have his
information complete and readily
available through some other med.
ium.
The booklet is of advantage to
the ordinary citizen, also, as it
clears up in concise way, the diff
ference between the governmental
housing and lending agencies.
Under Title l it inSureS private
loans made by private lending
agencies for purposes of repair and
improvement. Under Title II,
which has no interest for farmers
as such, the Administration in
SureS mortgages held by approved
financial institutions on new and
existing urban dwellings, and, un.
der special conditions, on urban
low.cost housing projects.

EXPECTED
To 0BEPASSED
BYCONGRESS

A license law for real estate
brokers and Salesmen operating in
the District of Columbia is nearer
an actuality than ever before. &C.
cording to the opinion of members
Of the real estate board.
The bill was introduced last
week by Senator King, chairman
of the Senate District Committee,
and there is every indication 1t
will be favorably reported suf.
ficiently early to insure a vote on
the floor.
During the last session Of Con-
greSs, the bill passed the House
and was favorably reported by the
Senate Committee, but was caught
in the legislative jam of the last
few weeks and was not voted.
Commission Plan
Under terms of the bill, a com.
mission of three members will be
created to pass Upon the qualifica.
tionS of licensees. A strict investi.
cation as to character will be
made and the commission may
prescribe definite rules of conduct
for licensees.
Only licensed statesmen and
brokers may engage in the real
estate business, should the law be
passed and penalties are provided
for those engaging in the business
without having the required
license.
Under existing conditions, the
District of Columbia has long
been the haven for jerry-builders
and fly-by-nighters, due to the
absence of regulation. Other
Jurisdictions nearby, including
Maryland and Virginia, have
strict license laws for real estate
operators and the District of Co
lumbia is haven for those who
have been barred from operation
in those States.
The passage of the bill has been
the aim for many years of the
local real estate board and Of
Louis Rothschild, director of the
Better Business Bureau.
Violations Cited
The latter, at Senate hearings,
recited a long list of violations of
the law on the part of unscrupu-
lous operators, which his office
had investigated and taken before
the United States attorney.
In many instances the Govern
ment prosecutor presented the
matters to the Grand Jury and
obtained indictments and convic-
tions, Mr.. Rothschild informed
the Senate committee.
But in none of the cases of con-
viction did the mulcted victims
get their money back. The real
estate license law, he said, was in
tended to prevent the harm to
investors, rather than punish the
violator.
The commission would operate
without expense to the taxpayer,
inasmuch as the license fees GER
tain to be collected would more
than pay the salaries and office
expenses of the commissioner
and their secretary.

REALTY TRADING
INCREASES

Trading in real estate began
it's recovery from the holiday let
up during the past week according
to reports.
Increased business in the chain
store groups, both in groceries and
in general merchandise, brought
several deals to a close which are
not available for release.
The firm of Shannon and Luchs
negotiated the sale of four prop.
critics as follows: 628 I st. S. E.,
sold for Fidelity Mortgage Com
pany to a local investor; 1718 Eu-

FHA to Insist
On Quality
Materials

The use of good quality mate
rials, both in actual construction
and in equipment, will be insisted
upon by the Federal Housing Ad.
ministration before it insures
home mortgages submitted to it
under the terms of Title 2 of the
national housing act.
In keeping with it's policy of en-
couraging the development of
housing on a high plane, the ad-
miniStration has set forth mini.
mum construction standards which
must be maintained by builders
Of new homes, and must be met
by owners Of existing homes, be.
fore long-term mortgage insur.
ance will be given approval.
Among stipula tions set forth in
the regulations are these: That
"au exterior metal work which
is subject to corrosion shall be
adequately protected by rust-in.
hibiting paint and that all
exterior wood surfaces shall be
similarly protected. The require.
ments also cover adequate plumb
ing, roofing, foundations, construc.
ton, etc.
In taking this action, the ad-
ministration emphasizes that it
must; of necessity, take all precau.
tlons to see that the security for
the loan is properly protected,
The mortgage facilities NAV be
made available, it is pointed out,
only to those properties whose
prospects of continued utility are
sufficiently good to give assurance
OF their enduring as sound invest
ments throughout the life of the
mortgage.

Tung Oil Primers
For Brick Painting

Well-aged brick, stucco and con.
crete require no different paint
from other exterior work. If these
surfaces are not well-aged, how
ever, they should be given special
primers which usually contain
tung oil varnishes. Any high
quality house paint may then be
used for the finishing coats.
Or, if preferred, special stucco
or brick coatingS may be used.
Ordinary brick, concrete and
Stucco are unusually porous. This
porosity is an advantage from a
painters point of view because it
allows the paint to penetrate and
thus secure a firm anchorage.

GROUP IS
FORMED

A new national organization de.
signed to create and maintain a
scientific basis for home apprais.
ais will take shape this month as
the Society of Residential Ap.
praiSers is started under joint
sponsorship of the United States
Building and Loan League and its
educational affiliate, the Amer.
lean Savings, Building and Loan
Institute.
In announcing organization OF
the home appraisal unit, Morton
BodfiSh, executive vice-president
of the league and institute, said:
"The Society's first services
will include the compilation and
dissemination of information
along many lines which directly
affect the valuing of home prop
erty. These lines include cost

terialS, market prices, sales turn

vacancy situations. With the
great emphasis which govern
ment and business organizations
are now placing on a revival Of
homie building in 1885, there is
definite need to start in the di-
rectiOn of scientific, lOng-term
appraiSing at once"
It is the view of the League
and Institute that long rang5
home financing, providing for 10
to 20 wear amortization, requires
different approach in the
matter of appraisal from the
ordinary three to five year mort
gage loans, which are controlled
largely by pessimism or optimism
as the case may be.
Early plans for the formation
of the Society were made last
fall at the annual convention OF
the League in New Orleans
Final plans have just been com
pleted and within a few days
I. Frie6lander, of Houston, Texas
president of the League, will an
nounce the membership of the
board of governors of the new
group, which will consist of Is
members.

Washable Papers
Use Is Widespread

waterproof wallpaper that can
be washed with soap and water is
reported by interior decorators to
be boosting sales of this material.
Advantages of a washable wau
covering are obvious for the bath
room, kitchen and playroom. But
motion picture theaters have dis
covered it's value for lobbies, hall
ways, and rest rooms, while
churches also have found it suit
able especially for their social
parlors.

RUBBER IN PAINT

Experiments are being acon-
Quoted constantly to determine
how rubber can be used in paint.
Apparently rubber must be trans.
formed chemically in order to get
the best results. The near future
may see rubber in it's modified
forms freely used in certain spe.
clal types of paint formulae.

DAYLIGHT" SALES AID

Merchandise sells best when it
is sufficiently lighted so that it is
attractive, but not deceptive. It
has been stated that food. above
all other merchandise, sells better
when lighting Stimulates daylight.
Clothing, dry goods. and similar
merchandise also sell better under

rediscounted through the Federal
Reserve System and may be sold
outright to the proposed associa-
tions to be formed under Title
III.
Up to the present, there has
been no inclination on the part
of moneyed groups to form an
enterprise of such gigantic pro-
portions. Meanwhile, bankers,
fearful lest they load themselves
up with insured mortgages and
with no resale outlet, are becom-
ing somewhat reluctant to make
this type of loan beyond a GER
tain point.
Accordingly a vicious circle is
about to be created. Private cor
porations that might participate
in an association under Title III
are unwilling to put up the re.
quired capital until they can find
a volume of insured mortgages
sufficiently large to warrant the
huge capitalization.
Two schools of thought on the
matter are said to exist among
housing experts. One is for the
reduction of the capitalization of
the resale associations to make it
possible for them to be formed
more easily.
The other calls for the estab.
lishment of Government-subsidized
corporations similar to the saw
ings-loan groups formed under the
Home Loan Act. These corpora
tions would operate in districts
similar to the Federal Reserve
Bank system.
