sociation plan would work II John
Doe decided to buy a $4,000 home:
The most common down payment
Is 10 per cent, so Mr.. Doe would be
asked to pay $1,000 cash. Then, If
he had q good credit standing and
the appraisal showed his purchase a
good investment. the association prob
ably would make a rs per cent, or a
$500 loan. This would be repaid in
regular monthly payments of SIS for
a period of slightly less than IL years.
Taxes on the property, about $50 q
year in the District, and fire insur-
ance Of about $l2 q year, would be
paid separately.
But the house cost Mr.. Doe 1000,
and he paid $1,000 in cash and the
association will loan him $500. This
leaves $500 to be taken care Of. He
would do 1t by giving second mort
gage Of $500 to the builder. which
would also be paid in monthly install
ments, including interest. Such pay
ments usually run about $25 monthly,
In which case 1t would take Mr.. Doe
about six years fully to pay OF the
second mortgage. OF course. by pay
ing 50 500 cash at the time of pur-
chase he could avoid the necessity Of
giving a second mortgage. In either
case, Mr.. Doe has cleared his house
OF debt in less than IL years.

third of the new home financing busi-
ness during the boom" period Of the
last decade.
In the lean depression years the
associations financed major portion
of the small number of new homes
erected. They are now engaged in
maintaining gains made in recent
years. Such types Of financing as
sponsored by building associations are
popular, as they offer the home buyer
the opportunity to clear his property
of debt at q definite, fixed time and
by regular monthly payments. which
most buyers find a more convenient
way of iquidating debt.
Renewals Hindered.
Then, too, in the depression years
many persons who were financing
through short-term or three-year loans
experienced difficulty in obtaining re-
newals when the time of the loans ex-
pired, due to liquidation processes OF
banks and a great scarcity of mortgage
money. Many persons lost homes IN
this way, and new buyers profited by
the lesson.
Building associations generally have
two methods of financing home. The
older plan calls for complete amortiza-
ton or repayment of the loan in
slightly less than IL years. The month
ly payments including interest and
principal under this plan are $40
for each 81 900 borrowed. The second
plan, introduced a year ago. calls for
monthly payments of $3.50 on each
1000 borrowed, including interest
and principal. Under this plan the
buyer completely clears his property
of indebtedness in about II years.
The association loans vary in size
from about 65 per cent to about IS
per cent of the appraised value OF the
property. The prevailing interest rate
it 6 per cent. The building and loan
institutions. incidentally, do not
charge commissions for loans.

|CARE IS REQUIRED
IN ROOF FRAMING
Fastening Of Rafters to
Prevent Spreading Is
Necessary.

The framing of the roof is most
important in the building Of house
and should be given very careful
attention. It must be borne in mind
that . pitched roof has Q definite
thrust to the outside, and unless the
rafters are tied together close to
the base there is q tendency for the
outside walls to spread, which will
weaken the structure and allow the
ridge to sag.
Therefore the ceiling joists near
est the base Of the rafters should
run In the same direction as the raf-
tiers and should be securely tied
all the way from one outside wall to
the other, either Is single pieces Of
lumber or II two or more pieces are
used they should lap well where
they meet and should be thoroughly
spiked together. II this line Of joists
rafters 50 that they can run along
side each other and can be spiked to-
gether, o perfect tie Is effected.
II the joists do not meet the roof
rafters at the caves, then pieces of
lumber, called collar beams. should
be nailed across from rafter to rafter
as ties. and these should be as near
the bottom Of the rafters as possible
II it Is not possible to get such q
tie, it may be necessary to run pur-
Inns, which are girders running paral-
lei to the ridge, to support the rafters.
These can be put at the point where
the nearest joists meet the rafters
and win relieve the thrust, or pressure,
against the side walls. In any event.
il you are interested in building q
house, check the manner In which
your roof Is tied together or trouble
may result.

WASHINGTON SIXTH
FOR JULY PERMITS
Total Value of $3,775,829
Reported-NeW York Lead.
er With $24,532,O14.

WASHINGTON ranked sixth among
the cities of the United States in the
volume Of building permits issued
during the month of July, according
to the monthly report OF DR.. lsador
Lubin. commissioner of labor statis-
tics. made to Secretary OF Labor
Perkins today.
The Capitals permits totaled So
IT'S ,829, which was surpassed only by
New York with s24,532,0l4, Chicago
with s6,837,639, Boston with $685.
l25, Los Angeles with $6,032.326 and
Buffalo with $4,591,10
Close on the heels of Washington
were Detroit with s3,687,65l and Gin
cinnati with S3,056.000.
For the country at large. Commis-
sioner Lubin reported, permits in July
were slightly below the figure Tor
June.
Residential Building Up.
"The value of residential construc-
ton, however" he said, increased IA
per cent and the value of additions,
alterations and repairs advanced
slightly more than per cent. The
gain in residential buildings IS espe-
cially significant as ordinarily build
ing activity declines at this season OF
the year.
THE decrease in the value Of all
permits issued Presidential and non
residentiaD amounted to less than 2
per cent. Although reports for the
country as whole showed small
decrease, seven of the nine geographic
divisions recorded increases.
Compared with the corresponding
month of 1885. building activity in 75e
cities in July shows a decided in
crease. Residential building as meas
ured by the value of permits issued
shows a gain of 1872 per cent. 1ndi-
Gated expenditures for new non-reSl-
dental buildings increased more than
SO per cent, and the permit valuation
of additions. alterations and repairs
to existing structures increased more
than 30 per cent. The increase In the
value of all building construction over
the year exceeded 80 per cent.
During the first seven months OF
1885 permits were issued for buildings
valued at s751 ,527,00 This is gain
Of 78 per cent over the corresponding
period of the preceding year. Over
this same period the value of new
residential buildings for which per-
mits were issued amounted to $685.
$4,000, an increase of sl9l ,069 900
or 1873 per cent. The value of new
non-residential buildings advanced 64
per cent, and the value of additions
alterations and repairs to existing
structures 33 per cent"
Percentage of Change.
The percentage change from June
to July in the number and cost OF
buildings for which permits were is
sued for each of the different types oi
construction is indicated in the fol-
