PUBLIC HELD SEEKING

California Lumber Concern Fur

esting Information.

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton has received an interesting
breakdown from the lumber depart.
ment of a California concern, which
indicates public interest in the va.
rious phases Of modernization and
home improvement. The inquiries re-
ceived by the concern came after
literature pointing out the advan-
tages Of the national housing act was
distributed in the Northern California
section.
Circulars concerning paint and
roofing brought the following number
of inquiries: For general modern
izing, 140; for reroofing, 1876; for re-
painting, 100; for insulating, SO; for
new homes. 8: miscellaneous, IS.
A "home-plan book" was also cir
culated throughout the territory and
resulted in the following inquiries:
Home, a; remodeling, Is; additions,
g. barns, S: garage. II; paint, IL;

ton, 10; boxes and trays. 2.
In addition to the above" the

ported, I'VE find that inquiries are
still coming in, and customers con-
tinue to call at our branch yards

SUBDIVISIONS SOUGHT
FOR SMALL HOMES ONLY

Critical need at the present time
for new subdivisions established ex-
pressly for small homes, was cited
here today by Frederick M. Babcock,
chief of the underwriting section Of
the Federal Housing Administration.
The administration, he said, has made
definite studies in a number of large
cities which reveal that there are
relatively few subdivisions which pro-
vide sites for housing of this character.
Mr.. Babcock believes that the prob
lem may be solved in two ways. The
hrst solution involves the utilization
Of unsubdivided areas and the estab-
hshment of these as sites for small
home developments. The second is
to utilize undeveloped existing subdi-
visions which have failed to succeed
as locations for higher priced proper
ties and provide them with protection
In the form of deed restrictions and
suitable utilities for the specific pur-
pose Of using them as locations for
houses Of very low cost. The low
priced home represents desirable mort
gage security when it is part of a
rather extensive development of SINH
lar priced homes, he states.

Regency Is returning. There's some
thing about the brilliance Of the color
ing and the simplicity Of the furniture
Of the early nineteenth Gentry English
period that is in accord with the
present mood Of home furnishing. As
q consequence, Regency colors and
furniture are gaining new popularity.
In many years, the era of George
w. Prince Regent from 1911 to 1920.
was like our own. Change and excite
ment were in the air. 1t was q time
Of social upheaval and readjustment.
The War of 1912 was news. Beau
Brummel was the idol Of London.
Napoleon was threatening Europe.
Fashions In dress were changing-slim
skirts and high waists replacing hoops
and furbelows.
Today the furnishings that reflect
those times are catching our fancy
again. The clear, bright color that is
an identifying badge Of Regency. shows
up attractively. for instance. In color

WORK To SPEED
FOR SUBDIVISIONS
LoW-Priced Home Activities
in Detroit, Cleveland
and Chicago.

Operative builders in Detroit, Cleve-
land and Chicago have indicated that
they soon will begin construction on
low-priced home subdivision develop
ments ranging in extent from SO to
300 homes following subdivision con-
ferences held in those cities by the
Federal Housing Administration. These
projects would be financed by pri-
vate capital and the mortgages in
sured by the Federal Housing Admin
istration.
Widespread enthusiasm was shown
by builders, bankers and real estate
men in the three cities mentioned,
according to Seward H. Mott. chief
of the Land Planning Section, Federal
Housing Administration. who con-
Quoted. the conferences. Selected
groups of bankers, builders and real
estate men attended each meeting.
Outstanding results reported by Mott
were as follows:
Eager to Get Started.
Operative builders are anxious to
get started on the development of
low-priced home subdivisions where
homes can be built and sold in a price
range under $4,500.
Those attending the recent confer
ences were impressed with the fact
that construction of homes in this
price range can be achieved prof1tably
on a volume basis with smaller unit
profit and thereby tap the vast po-
tential market which includes those
who cannot afford homes costing in
excess of $500.
In every city where subdivision
conferences were held, suitable areas
for such developments were found
which. II properly protected and de-
veloped. would make desirable sites
for these loW-priced homes.
There is no question" Mott said
'but that the subdivision conferences
conducted SO far are making it clear
to bankers, builders and real estate
men and the general public that il

comfortable homes under $4,000 and
