F. H. A. RESTATES
POLICY ON LOANS
Only Properties Economi-
CaIIy Sound Are Insured
for Mortgage Loans.

The Federal Housing Administration
has found it necessary to restate the
policy that only those properties which
are economically sound are insurable
for a mortgage loan under the pro-
visions of the national housing act.
"This is for the protection Of the
lender, the Government and the bor-
rover" according to Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald.
"The lending agency Is In most
instances thoroughly acquainted with
the provisions of the housing act and
the rules and regulations under
which it is administered, but occa-
sionally cases come up in which some
property owner protests the reasons
for the rejection of an application for
an insured mortgage.
Acts as Insuring Agency.
"It should be stated at the begin
ming that the Government Is not
putting out the money, but Is acting
in the role of an insuring agency;
that is, it insures the mortgage and,
in case of default. will have to re-
lieve the lender and take over the
property. Naturally, the Government
does not wish to do this, since the
aim of the legislation is to make 1t
more desirable and easier for a per-
son to own his home.
THE first financial responsibility Is
that of the lending agency. These
would be expected to exercise the same
care and judgment as in ordinary
banking practice. The Federal Hous-
ing Administration would expect them
to do so because the Government is
insuring the transaction.
THE owner of property which
would obviously fail to satisfy or
justify one of the insured mortgages
would only cause himself and others
interested unnecessary embarrass-
ment and trouble. even should he be
able to arrange the necessary refi-
nancing.
Banks Make Loans.
$50 it is a good thing to bear the
following in mind:
Congress, in passing the law. laid
down the requirements that mortgage
loans were insurable by the Federal
Housing Administration only on prop
erty which might be considered eco
nomically sound These mortgage
loans are made not by the Govern
ment, but by private banks and carry
to the lender lin other words, to the
thousands of individuals whose saw
ings are on deposit in those banks) a
Government guarantee against loss.
Mortgage loans, written as they are
under the plan for a period of as long
as 20 years, must be made only on
property which it is believed will suS-
tain sufficient value from year to year
to provide adequate security for the
loan.
The administration is permitted
to consider properties solely in terms
of their values as places of residence.
1t that we're not so it might happen
that the Government would some day
find itself in the position of owner
of most of the homes in every city of
the country. And this law was based
on the idea of helping individual citi-
zens to own their homes, not live in
them as wards of the Government"

Program Arranged 90 Aid
Growers Increase
Incomes
Especial to The HeraldD

SAN RENTTO. Nov. 1.-The out
line OF a proposed program intended
TO increase the income to potato
growers from their 1885 crop has
been received by Henry Alsrneyer,
Cameron county farm agent.
The program includes Cd a plan
for the diversion for industrial uses
OF potatoes OF the 1885 crop which
may be threatened with waste be-
cause OF low prices and glutted mar
kets. and (2) provision for the use
or marketing agreements for pota-
toes Of the 1885 crop now being har-
vested.
The diversion plan would be Oper-
alive In surplus regions when the
market was & glutted and the price
IN those areas was so low that con-
version would be TO the financial
advantage Of the growers. An in
crease In the price OF high grade
potatoes to between one-half and
three-fourthS Of parity would auto
matically result In the cessation Of
diversion and cause the potatoes to
be sent 10 their customary market.
Neither the surplus diversion plan
nor the marketing agreement pro-
posal are In any sense q substitute
for the Potato Act or 1885 which
becomes effective on potatoes har-
vested after December l, 1895. The
measures under immediate con-
temptation were designed specific
ally TO assist in remedying the dis
tresS 70 growers resulting from the
current low price OF potatoes. The
parity price for potatoes at present
Is 86.6 cents o. bushel. The average
price received by growers last sea-
son, prior to October /, averaged
about Is cents below the CORES
ponding period for last season.
The proposed surplus diversion
plan would provide for payments OF
% cents or each M hundred
pounds OF surplus potatoes divert
ed into uses for livestock feed, or
in potato flour. starch or alcohol.
or other uses that the secretary or
agriculture might designate. In the
initial offer, payments to individ-
ual growers would be limited to 10
per cent OF the crop which they
grow and harvest in 1885. Pay
ments would be made only upon
potatoes which met or exceeded
certain u. 8. specifications unless
otherwise specified. The proposed
agreement provides for the con-
