OF SERVICE STATIONS

Letters received by the Federal
Housing Administration often ask
how operators of garages and service
stations can take advantage of the
modernization credit plan to make
alterations and repairs, install equip
ment and machinery, and, in general,
to make the stations more attractive
rs well as serviceable.
Sharp competition has made the
modernization of these stations a
necessity. Through the first six
months Of 1886, 16,737 notes for the
modernization of garage or repair
shops had been insured by the Fed
eral Housing Administration, in the
total amount of $8.8l0.773 OF this
amount. 119 per cent, or 1887 notes,
totaling S1,934,780 90 per cent? were
for alterations and repairs and the
balance for the purchase and installa-
ton of equipment and machinery.
Filling stations obtained $3.50 in
sured notes for a total of 1896, ,783.
OF this, there were 1.643 (22.4 per
cent? notes totaling $l,399,043 (35.9
per cent? for alterations and repairs
and 5.067 CTS per cent? notes for a
total of $2.497,74O (64.1 per cent? for

MORE NEW HOMES

Total of Mortgages Taken
for Insurance Higher
Than in 1885.

A constantly growing percentage Of
newly constructed homes in the
United States are being financed un-
der the insured mortgage system of
the Federal Housing Administration.
From June through October of this
year, the value of new home mort
cages accepted for insurance by the
Housing Administration has averaged
from Al to A per cent of the total
value of building permits issued in
cities OF 10000 and more population
for one and two family dwellings
This compares with an average of
around % per cent for the same per-
sod of 1885.
Houses which are designed and
built to be livable homes for at least
a generation will soon be the rule
rather than the exception in this

the trend of the insured mortgage
system in relation to new home build

Major Factor in Building.
while these figures do not repre-

ly that the insured mortgage system
has already become a major factor
in new home construction. And they
show that the standards of the Amer

one Of the purposes of the national
housing act.
Among the things which the in
