CHARACTER LOANS
BECOME POPULAR
Housing Act Held Factor in
Bringing Broader Credit
Program.

One of the most significant develop
ments resulting from the passage and
operation of the national housing act
is the extension and popularizing,
with the banks, of that form OF credit
generally called the character loan.
Credit advances on this type OF
monthly reduction loan were made by
comparatively few banks previous to
the Inauguration Of the moderniza-
ton credit plan of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. Banks, which
had no previous experience in making
such loans for modernization and
equipment, discovered that such trans
actions were not only profitable but
the factor of safety was Of a high
degree, not heretofore appreciated.
Consequently, even before title I
of the national housing act was ex-
tended for a year by Congressional
action, many banks, because OF their
experience with modernization credit
loans. decided to continue advancing
this form of credit and to broaden its
scope.
Some Advertise.
Some Of them had gone so far as
to advertise that, as thousands Of
their customers had benefited through
obtaining insured modernization credit
loans, the bank had arranged to con-
tinue making that type of loan, even
without the insurance. Many OF the
banks had already broadened their
lending policies to include loans cover
ing the purchase of convenient labor

saving devices and appliances for the
home which were not eligible for
insured modernization loans. They
also suggested that the customer deal
directly with the contractor or mer-
chant
Keen competition is expected in the
financing Of household appliances sold
on the deferred payment plan due to
the experience gained by banks
through their cooperation with the
Housing Administration.
That the commercial banks and
other lending institutions had made
plans to continue lending along the
same general lines as the moderniza-
ton credit loans, without insurance
by the Federal Housing Administration
or some other Government agency,
approaches a complete Endorsement
of the charater loan

INCREASE IN 1886
Substantial Gains in Number
of Permits Issued Are
Reported by Craig.

Impressive gains in construction.

mits issued, were scored during the

1884 and 1885 like periods, E. M.
Craig, executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Building Trades
Employers reports. Residential and
industrial building and alteration work
are responsible for this sharp rebound.
The 1896 Spring building survey of
IS key cities as compiled by Robert D.
Steele, the association statistician, is
the most cheering since 1881, Craig
said. His report divulges that New
York is far ahead of other cities on
valuation, total of $39, 1885 ,147 being
marked up for the first 1886 quarter.
Cleveland, with a 325 per cent mar
gin over the like 1885 period, has the
widest gain. Los Angeles occupies the
top position on new homes and volume
Of permits. Ground was broken for
1.l00 new homes since January / and
6,254 permits were issued. New York
is second with $50 homes. St. Paul,
with 100 per cent, is the housing occu-
pancy leader. Cincinnati, second with
99l2, and Detroit. third with SO per
cent. Building valuation of A States
the first 1886 quarter is 1894, ,805 ,99l,
which compares with 1924, ,647 ,658 in

New home construction and re-
conditioning accounted for the major
gains. The converted Federal Asso-
Citations reported increases for March
over February of 588 per cent in re-
conditioning loans. and 37.8 per cent

effects Of their action in stimulating

Through making this type Of loan,

KARPIS ADMITS PART
IN TWO CRIMES, REPORT

ST. PAUL, May (UP).-Af-
ter five days of almost continuous
questioning by federal agents, AL
vim Karpis was removed last night
to the Ramsey county Jail to await
arrangement for the kidnapping of
William Hamm, Jr.
Reports, strictly unofficial. said
the desperate had admitted par
ticipation in two major northwest
crimes, and that employees of the
Sioux City, Ia. Morningside bank,
robbed April 20, identified Karpis
from photographs as one of the
four bandits involved in that job.
The unconirmed reports said
that Karpis confessed participa-
ton in a South aul payroll rob-
berry and the Third Northwestern
National bank holdup in Mime
apolis. Three policemen were
slain in the two robberies. Fed
eral agents were non-committal
on the reports. They refused to
say whether Karpis was under in
vestigation at New Orleans on
April 20 when the Sioux City
bank was robbed.
1t was disclosed that when Kar-
pis goes on trial in the Hamm
case, Arthur (Doc) Barker, serv-
| ing a life term for the Edward
G. Bremen abduction, also may
be brought to- trial in the Hamm
case. ~.
u. S. District Attorney George
Sullivan indicated Karpis would
be arraigned the latter part OF
the week but declined to set a
definite date. gI
