estimate for properties which were
abandoned by the borrowers or taken
over by the association for other rea-
sons, many of which homes have since
been sold on contracts or on mortgages
which put off into the 1940s the ex-
pected date Of freedom from debt.
1T is no small contribution to the
safety of the financial structure to
have properties worth somewhere be-
tween s600,oo0,oo0 and $700,00o, 900
on today's rising market newly freed
of debt this year." said Mr.. Bodfsh.
This particular block of debt has
been liquidated by small home own
ers in the main on a basis which not
only gave them increasing equity in
the property, but also provided the
thrift and home flnaucing institutions
which carried it with some s45 100000
year. BY this amount the institu-
tionS were able to increase their
financing services to new home own
ers year by year and to repurchase
the holdings of thousands of savers
who found it necessary to draw upon
their accumulated savings. The re-
suits point inevitably to the economies
and stabilizing factors in the savings
and loan plan of home financing"

10000 TO FREE
HOMES Of DEBT
Many Mortgages Obtained in
1925 to Be Paid Off
This Year.

Clearing their homes of debt during
the current calendar year will be some
100000 home owners who got their
mortgage money from savings, build
ing and loan associations in 1925, the
United States Building and Loan
League reports. The majority of home
loans made by the associations IN
1925 were scheduled to be paid off
completely within II and fraction
years and the fruits of that arrange
ment are being shown now. This
years group of paying-of mortgagors
are lifting from their properties
debt which originally amounted to
half a billion dollars, an average Of
$4,000 each.
Morton Bodfish, executive vice
president of the league, which is the
national organization of these thrift
and home financing institutions, in
dicates that a total of 100000 dis
burSementS to home owners was made
by them II years ago. According to
the leagues estimate, about $4,000 Of
these provided for monthly repay
mentS sufficiently large to retire the
principal in shorter periods Of six or
eight years. Such borrowers acquired
clear title to their homes during the
course of the depression where they
kept up their contractual payments,
as a majority of them did, it is
stressed.
Affected by Depression.
The conservative estimate that 150,-
600 are clearing their homes this year
makes full allowance for the adjust
ments of various kinds which were
made by many of these 1925 borrowers
as a result of the depression which
began about five years after they
bought the property. Because of these
adjustments the final objective of
debt-free ownership in at least third
of the cases was put off several years
beyond the original date set for the
loan cancellation. This came about
through the associations refinancing
hundreds of thousands of their own
borrowers by recasting the loans to
provide for smaller monthly payments
more in keeping with reduced incomes,
and thus stretching out the time in
which to pay off. The same thing, of
course, happened with the several
thousand of these loans which were
taken over by the H. o. L. c. and
given Is years to pay out.
While some of the borrowers on
home properties II years ago sold in
the height of the boom, in most cases
the mortgage continued to be carried
by the association on the old terms
with the new owner, so that several
thousand of the houses acquired in
the late 1920's are now On the list of
those on which the final installments
OF a 1925 debt are being cleared.

Majority of Structures Are
Bound to Be in Good

RENTERS RESIDENCES
ARE LESS SPACIOUS
Approximately One Seventh Of
Dwelling Units Retained
Twenty Years.

A majority of residential structures
in Washington are owner-occupled
and in good condition, the Federal
Housing Administration revealed to-
day from further study Of the real
property inventory conducted in 1884
by the Department of Commerce and
tabulated by F. H. A.
OF the 1858 residential structures
In the city 46,4l0, or 529 per cent,
are occupied by their owners. The
physical condition of the oWner-oc-
pied units is revealed as being OF
q higher grade than tenant-occupled
structures. Seventy-one and three
tenths per cent of the oWner-occupled
dwelling units are in good condition,
while 578 per cent of the tenant UNITS
are in good condition.
Families owning their homes have
in general, more spacious living quar-
ters than those who rent. Owner
occupied dwelling units report 9l3
per cent as having adequate space or
more Gone person or less per room, !,
while only 81 per cent are reported
as being crowded or oVercroWoeo
(more than one person per room, {,
compared with tenant-occupied units
reporting 762 per cent in adequate
space and 238 per cent crowded or
overcrowded.
Live in Homes 20 Years.
Fourteen and tWo-tenths per cent
of the home owners in Washington
have lived m their present home 70
years or more, 289 per cent from 10
to 1e years and SO per cent from
8 to 9 years.
A greater percentage of dwelling
units occupied by their owners are
equipped with more modern con-
veniences for the comfort of their
occupants than those occupied by ten
ants. In the oWner-occupied group
all per cent have at least two toilets
and one bath, as compared to 10
per cent in the tenant-occupled
group. Fifty-three and nine-tenths per
cent of owners units have one toilet
and at least one bath, as compared
to 1871 per cent Of the tenant-occupleo
units. No toilet, but with running
water, is reported in 2.7 per cent OF
the owner occupied units, while the
same condition exists in 9.3 per cent
of the tenant-occupied units. But
IT per cent of the oWner-occupled
dwelling units reported no toilet and
no running water, as compared 10
4 per cent for tenant-occupled units.
Report on Heating.
Eight and two-tenths per cent OF
owner-occupied units are heated oy
other than installed central heating
plans, as compared to 23.2 per cent
for tenant-occupied units. One and
six-tenths per cent of the owner-occu-
pied dwellings report neither gas nor
electricity used for lighting, as COM
pared to 112 per cent for tenant-oc-
cupied units. Neither gas nor electric
ity was used for cooking in "A per cent

Build Porch Near Ground.

A living porch that is close to the
earth gives the feeling of out-of-doors
more than one that stands 2 or 3
feet above grade. Even with houses
built we'll off the ground, the porch
can be placed near grade, and a deco
rative flight of steps at the door can
be the connecting link. This calls for
unusually high pillars or posts, but
they can be made quite effective.

cause of serious tooth and gum
disorders. Rup your tongue across
your teeth and you will feel this
