HOME MORTGAGE
LENDING GAINING
Savings and Loan Units in
BiIIion.DoIIar Year,
Pellet Says.

That home mortgage lending by the
local savings and loan institutions
has moved into its first billion dollar
year since 1880 is the observation
of L. w. Pellett, Newburgh, N. Y
president of the United States Build
ing aid Iona League, as he looks
at 1895 prospects. In the January
issue of the leagues official publica-
ton, Pellet predicts that some 90
per cent of the 1000 savings. build
ing and loan associations through
out the country will be actively in
the lending field before the end of
the year
Hopeful pictures are painted by
the league official in his 1886 fore
cast about the investment and home
owner credit field.
On the home lending side, in ad-
dition to the billion dollars of new
loans which he sees, Pellett notes
four factors indicating recovery:
/. A steady and continuous rise
in rents on residential property, giving
owners of income property earnings
on their investment and owne- oc-
cupantS a decided edge over their
renting neighbors.
Demand for Ownership.
2. Growing out of the rental rise
there will be greater demand for
ownership of houses and lots and
also of two-f1ats and larger residen-
tial buildings. This means much i'm
proved activity in the real estate
market and higher sales prices on
better classes of property.
3. Home building activities will be
anywhere from double to triple the
1885 performance, depending upon the
vacancy and employment conditions
in each area. Both of the previously
mentioned factors will be directly
influential in squirting on residential
construction.
4. A doubling Of the advances out
standing at the Federal Home Loan
Bank System SO that in its fourth
year of activity this Reserve credit
institution will be coming into its
own as an influential factor in sup
plementing the mortgage lending
facilities of local institutions.
On the investment side he sees an
increased flow of savings into the as
sociations as more and more of them
are able to increase the earnings and
the reasonable availability Of funds
on repurchase. AS result he ex-
poets that aggregate assets of the
associations will show an increase at
the end of the year for the 1rst time
since 1880.

FAIRFAX ENJOYS
BUILDING BOOM
Real Estate Transactions
Reach Highest Peak
in History.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FAIRFAX, Va, January A year
in which building activity and real
estate transfers reached their highest
peak in the history of the county has
Just been concluded In Fairfax
County.
The unprecedented building boom
which had its real beginning in the
Fall of 1888. is expected to add more
than $500, 900 to the assessed value
of real estate in the county, according
to an estimate of Commissioner of the
Revenue James U. Kincheloe, which
he declares to be conservative.
Because the county had no build
g-permit ordinance that would re-
quire the listing of construction work
with any department of the county
government, exact figures will not be
available for some time. the commits
sioner said.
Real estate activity, as evidenced by
the recordation of deeds and deeds of
trust in the Office of the county clerk,
topped the next highest year by a
substantial percentage.
$3.50 Deeds Recorded.
Such recordationS reached a total
of $3.50 at the end CT the year, against
1928 for 1884, jump of 857. During
the previous high year in the history
of the county the total was but slightly
in excess of $500, making the 1895
record an outstanding one.
october was the peak month for
recordations, the total reaching 800.
In two other months. June and July,
the 300 mark was also exceeded.
During only two months in 1885
did the total drop below 200. and that
was for January and February, when
there were 1853 and ITO, respectively.
In only one month-January-did
the totals fall below those Of the cor
responding month in 1884.
A comparison of recordations
throughout 1885 with those for 1884
is as follows:
January. 1885, 1863; 1884, ITO; Feb
'ruary, 1885, ITO; 1884, 149; March,
1885, 240; 1884, 1862; April, 1895, 254;

November, 1885, 27s; 1884, 21S, and
December, 1885, 275; 1884, 1876.
Boom in Falls Church
While building activity was general
over the entire county, the town of
Falls Church saw the greatest devel-
opment of any other single COM
munity. Approximately 200 homes
were constructed there and immedi-
ately adjacent to the town.
Around the city of Alexandria and
at Franconia, numerous new dwell
ings were also erected.
Public building during the year
likewise held an important place. A
new annex to the county jail was
completed; new Office building to
house the trial justice court and pro-
vide for the overflow from the present
county Office building was finished,
and school building program brought
to a conclusion.

eral Information.

Improved conditions in the con-
struction industry are reported from
all sections of the United States by
the regional directors of the American
Institute of Architects. according to
a survey of progress in architecture
and building during 1885 by Stephan
F. Voorhees,. president of the institute.
A marked increase in architectural
employment, amounting in some
localities to an actual scarcity Of
craftsmen, is a significant feature
of the recovery in this industry, Mr..
Voorhees, declares.
The institute directors, Mr.. Voor-
hees reports. urge that governmental
participation in the field of low
rental housing be limited to procuring
and disseminating necessary general
information and to furnishing finan-
cial aid for such projects. leaving to
local agencies such functions as To-
cation, design, construction and ad-
miliistration.
Importance Recognized.
The directors, he explains. recognize
the importance of town planning and
other local considerations in the for
nation and operation of a national
program for the development Of low
rental housing.
"Non-residential building has main
tanned a steady increase over 1884
totals and continued to increase dur
ing the closing months of the year,
which normally show a reduction in
volume of new construction" Mr..
