HOME MORTGAGES
EXCEED 5 MILLION
F.H.A. Commitments in DC.
Are $8,447, 800 for
IS Months.

Home mortgages accepted for in
eurance by the District of Columbia
once of the Federal Housing Admin
istration had passed the S8,00o,00o
mark on Wednesday, June II, j. Reilly
Stanton, director, announced today.
The figure, S8,447 800. represents
actual commitments made by the Dis
trict office during the last IS months.
OF this amount. $2,341 500 represents
new construction projects financed
under the insured mortgage system.
1T is of great significance in our
opinion" said Mr.. Stanton, that ap-
plications for mortgage insurance,
which are not to be confused with
actual commitments, have shown a
steady gain in this section. Through
out 1885 the percentage of applica-
tionS for new construction ranged
around 33ls per cent. Since the turn
OF the year, applications for new home
construction have approximated close
to half of the inquiries received by us
This increase was especially noticeable
In April and May of this year. l am
confident that this increase will have
an appreciate effect on the percent
age for new construction in our total
mortgage insured figures of the next
few months.

"Undoubling'' Held
About Complete in
Many Large Cities

Fewer homes and apartments
are now occupied by two families,
and in many parts Of the country
the "undoubling" process has been
about completed, according to
Herbert u. Nelson, executive Sec
retary of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards.
Reports from many cities vary
widely as to how far the move
ment away from double occu-
pancy has gone" Mr.. Nelson said.
In a few cases it appears the
doubling up practice has been
resumed.
Some cities, such as Philadel-
phia and Portland, Greg, indicate
that the Spring moving this year
meant separate quarters for many
tenants, about completing the
'undoubling' process. In general,
there are notably fewer extra
families than there were year
ago."

The autopsy, Messmer said. brought
out the importance of a blood-like
splotch discovered on the highway the
day following the fatal shooting. The
stain, he said, was 1,0l0 feet from
the stalled automobile of Gen. Den

beyond the spot where the body was
found.
IF it is proven that this Is human
blood and the assumption that it came
from Mrs Taylor is established

Of her wounds she could not have
