BOND REFUNDINC
PLAN IS HEARD BY
COMMISSIONERS
MANY OTHER MATTERS ARE
DISCUSSED DURING SPE.
CIAL SESSION CONDUCTED
LAST NIGHT

Matters of vital interest to the
citizens of Monroe county were
discussed at the special meeting
of the county commissioners last
night in connection with the bond
refunding plan which has been
agreed on between r. E. Crum-
mer and Company and the COM
missioners.
During the discussions a letter
relative to the agreement and the
acceptance of same by the two
parties was read. 1t was signed
by r. f. drummer as president of
the drummer company and adj
dressed to the commissioners:
eve hereby acknowledge de-
livery to us of the properly ex-
ecuted agreement dated July Is,
1886, authorizing the refunding
of the outstanding bonded in
debtedness of Monroe County
(but of course not including any
school indebtedness).
THE various interlineations
and amendments in the hand
writing of Mr.. Albury are ap-
proved, the net effect of said
contract and operations thereun-
der being substantially the same
as we have heretofore discussed
and contemplated.
I'VE confidently express the
opinion at this time that within
ninety days. time the full benefits
of the refunding agreement will
be made available to the county
by the, issuance and delivery of
eighty per cent or more of the
original outstanding debt in ex-
change for the refunding bonds
authorized, and that any remain
ing debt not so exchanged will
have an equal par value of re-
funding bonds available to liqui-
daate the same il and when the
holders may consent, all within
the limit OF the $3,200,00O, au-
thorized refunding bonds"
Chairman Bervaldi was author
lied to sign in his capacity no
tice to all Monroe County Bond
holders. The notice reads as fol-
lows:
you are hereby advised that
by proper official action, r. f.
drummer and Company has been
appointed Fiscal Agent for the
exclusive purpose OF refinancing
the entire outstanding funded in
debtedness of Monroe county,
Florida, pursuant to the authority
granted by terms of contract dat
ed July 10. 1886. The same con-
templates the issuance and deliv-
cry through the Fiscal Agent of
refunding bonds and arrangements
to liquidate all past due coupons
at the equivalent of thee per
cent per annum to all cooperating
creditors.
"This action has been authoriz-
ed by the unanimous vote of the
Board of County Commissioners,
with the support of an overwhelm-
ing majority of all citizens who
have expressed themselves on the
subject and with the informal APP
prevail of the holders of more
than IS per cent of the outstand-
ing indebtedness.
"All holders of bonds are re-
quested to promptly communicate
with r. E. drummer and Com
pany, Inc. First National Band
Building, Chicago, Ill.,, for fur
Their details"

Amott- t-Baker Averages Of
200 Issues Shows 2.8
Boost in Month.

Increased earnings and favorable re-
organizations are the major factors in
producing the public confidence that
has been steadily driving up the prices
Of real estate securities, said Ralph c.
Baker, vice president Of Anott, Baker
& Co., today in explaining market
advances for January.
Amott-Baker averages compiled on
the market action of 200 typical East
ern issues disclosed an upward move
ment of 2.8 per cent for January
exceeding the 2.6 per cent appreciation
for December.
Another factor is important" said
Baker. During recent months an
increasing number of investment
bankers. searching for interesting in
yestment fields for clients, have con-
centrated attention on real estate
bonds.
Market Rises 108 Pet.
"For the past three years, the appre-
citation in this type Of security has
been remarkable, averages showing the
market value has risen 108 per cent.
The rise in average value increased
from $l87 to $3.50 per $1,000 of face
value in this period. The January
advance has raised it to $400."
Notable among advances for Janu-
ary shown by the averages was the
increase Of l0.5 per cent in bonds with
hotel properties as the underlying
security. Housekeeping apartments
were second, with an increase of 8.5
per cent. However, in the same month
theater issues decreased 2.7 per cent
after an advance of Alb per cent
for 1885.
The market price of theater issues
per 81 900 of face value was $576 for
January. The price of hotel issues
jumped from 1913 to $346 and house.
keeping apartment bonds increased
from $3.50 to 1888. Office building is
sues were unchanged at $439.

FIJI. A. MORTGAGE
AVERAGE |S&,03O
Extension Over Period of
16I2 Years Is Usual,
Mcdonald Says.

The average amount Of a home
mortgage made under the Federal
Housing Administration Single
Mortgage System extends for period
Of 161s years for principal amount
of $4,000, representing 10 per cent of
the valuation of the property. Federal
Housing Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald. announced today.
Through December 1885," the ad-
ministrator said. mortgages valued
at $170000,0O0 had been accepted for
insurance. This amount, in addition
to the 80 per cent equity of $5l 100000
advanced by the owners, represents
the total home investment interest Of
the Federal Housing Administration Of
1921 100000.
"Our analysis indicates that 73 per
cent of all Federal Housing Admins
tration insured mortgages are for
amounts less than $4,000; mortgages
on new construction are mostly for
$4,000 to $4,000. while the average
refinanced mortgage falls into the
$4,000 to $4,000 group.
This difference is compensated for
In part by the fact that mortgages on
new construction represent higher
percentage of the property valuation
than refinanced mortgages and that
the period of years in which the mort
gage is to be paid off is longer for new
construction mortgages than for those
reflnanced.
"As consequence, the monthly pay
ments for both new construction and
refinanced mortgages are about the
same. The man who builds a new
house gets 20-year mortgage and bor-
rows up to 80 per cent of the value of
his property, obligating himself for a
monthly payment of about the same
amount that person who reflnances
the mortgage on an existing house
pays under the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration single-mortgage plan.
THAT the Federal Housing Admins
tration plan appeals to persons OF mod
crate income is evidenced by the fact
that monthly payments on these mort
cages range from S2l to $50 per month.
On the basis of an expenditure of 20
per cent of the family budget for hous-
ing, these payments presuppose an
annual income Of from 81 200 to $4,000
for almost three-quarters of the fam
flies benefited by the Federal Housing
Administration plan."

WINNERS IN HOME
DESIGNING NAMED
Scale Models in Miller Contest
Being Made for Public
Voting.

The work of making models for the
five homes in the finals of MY Home
Competition" sponsored by W. G.
and A. N. Miller. Is nearing compile
ton, and it is expected that soon the
models will be placed in a Woodward
& Lothrop window where the public
will vote and select the winning de-
sign.
The names Of the five people sue
cessful in the competition of drawing
up plans and specifications for the
five designs the judges selected from
the hundreds submitted by the pub
lie, were announced today. The win
ners in the five classes are: Harvey
p. Baxter, Leon Chatelain, Russell o.
Kluge, Michael A. Patterson, and E.
Philip Schreier. In addition, the
judges gave special mention to the
work of Maurice s. May and Carroll
Meigs.
Carmelo Aruta, architect and sculp-
tor of New York. assisted by his son,
Marcus A. Aruta, is now engaged in
making the scale models from the

If you line your fire pot you get
more heat from less fuel because there
is complete combustion of all the fuel,
some of which can't burn when it's
close to the cool metal The unburned
fuel falls into the ashpit when the
CRATES are shaken-perfectly good coal
thrown away.
The fire pot lining we've discovered
not only prevents future cracks but
actually repairs burned or cracked
pots, too. You can install the lining
right over the old castings and it will
seal up holes, at the same time elimi-
mating leakage of furnace gases into
the house. 1t is packed in az, and
10 pound cans, in moist. plastic con-
'dition. ready for use without mixing.
You don't have to wait till Spring to
repair a cracked fire bowl. In an hour
or two, right in the middle of Winter,
you can do the trick-and the lining
should not stand more than SO hours
without being fired all over again.
