FILA MORTGAGES AVERAGE $4,O3O
Analysis s h hOw s Bulk
 Goes to Your Income Z Group

Washington, D. O., Feb. 20- The average amount of Q home mortgage made under the Federal Housing Administration's single mortgage system extends for a period of i6 Ia years for Q principal amount of a. OS0, representing 70 per cent of the valuation of the property. Federal Housing Administrator Stewart Mc- Donald announced today.
 Through December 1885," the administrator said, mortgages val- ued at 9iT0,000,000 had been ac- cepted for insurance. This amount in addition to the 30 per cent equity of $6i ,000, 900 advanced by the own. CTS, represents the total home in- vestment interest of the Federal Housing administration of $22i, ,000,. 900.
 "0nr analysis indicates that 73 per cent of all Federal Housing ad. nlinistration insured mortgages are for amounts less than $6000; mort- gages on new construction are mostly for s4,000 to $6,000, while the average refinanced mortgage falls into the S3,000 to 5000 group.
 "x'his difference is compensated for in part by the fact that mort- gages on new construction represent Q higher percentage of the property valuation than reflnanced mortgages and that the period of years In which the mortgage is to be paid of IS longer for new construction mort gages than for those refinanced.
 "As Q consequence, the monthly and refinanced mortgages are about payments for both new construction the same. The man who builds o new house gets Q 20.year mortgage and borrows up to 30 per cent of the value of his property, obligating himself for Q monthly payment of about the same amount that Q per. son who refinances the mortgage on on existing house pays under the Federal Housing Administration single mortgage plan.
 That the Federal Housing Ad. n1inistration plan appeals to persons of moderate income is evidenced by these mortgages range from $2l to $30 per month. On the basis of an the fact that monthly payments on expenditure of 20 per cent of the family budget for housing, these payments presuppose an annual in- come of from $i,200 to $2,200 for ale most three-quarters of the families benefitting."
