Ell Centric
Building
Advances

Everywhere in Ell Centre NJ.
o. King, chairman of the Ell Gen.
tro chamber OF commerce better
housing committee said Saturday,
ARE evidences of the success of
the campaign for better homes in
Ell Centre. Here and there, new
building houses are being con
structed. On practically every
block in the city, some remodeling
or charging is taking place New
roofing is being applied. Homes
are being painted. Attractive
shrubbery is being set out.
People are commencing to re-
alize more and more" he added.
with each succeeding week the
benefit of the Federal financing
plan for new homes, remodeling
and additions. In addition to this,
much building activity in Ell Cen
tro while net financed under the
Federal plan, is traceable to the
Better Housing campaign. Our
people are commencing to be build
ing minded. Home owners are be-
ginning to take appraisal of the
premises and plan improvements
and additions. Those who do not
own homes are planning that
home of their dreams.
San Diego Active
A number of the San Diego no
tel delegation which visited Ell
Centre Monday advised Manager
Robert Hays of the chamber of
commerce that nearly 900 units
were erected in San Diego in 1895,
as a result of the Federal Housing
campaign, as against fifty-nine the
year before 1t is their contention
that San Diego, like Ell Centre, is
still greatly underhoused and that
many more dwellings must be
erected this year to- take care OF
population demands.
I'VE WISH" said Hays, that the
motto might be adopted in Ell
Centre, Every American Should
Own His Home. Many families
quite able to erect and own their
dwelling house &c through all or
the greater part of their existence
in renting quarters without seri-
ously considering the desirability
and the wisdom of owning their
own homes"

MODERN MILK
BARNS BUILT
BY DAIRYMEN

Three of the new Grade A milk
barns have been constructed in the
Ell Centre area. A. A. Moline, A.
Zumstien and Walter Leimgiebar
are the owners. The barns are the
most high efficient yet developed
nc emphasize sanitation. They
were built from plans drawn by IN
ivefsity OF California dairy service,
state department of agriculture and
California association of dairy and
milk inspectors. The specifications
bear the endorsement of DR.. Warren
F.. Fox, county health officer.
General plans call for barns "a by
10 feet. Cleanliness is emphasized
even to the extent of fly traps at the
top of the buildings. They must be
located d considerable distance
from the corrals and concrete walks
are built for the cattle to prevent
tracking in dirt.
Other dairymen in the Ell Centre
area are expected to join in con-
structing more of this type OF barn.
Moline, in particular. is strong in
his praise of the new buildings

save money in the long run if he
starts his home now, Travers be-
lieVes.
Construction of Boulder Dam
and the All American canal means
plenty of water and flood control
and a natural rise in real estate
values for the Valley, Travers add
ed
Travers has lived in Imperial
Valley since the early years of the
century and has seen homes change
from struggling shacks with dusty
yards to attractive, ultra modern
residences surrounded by green
lawns. He remembers the days
when pioneers showed their con-
fidence in the country by continu-
ing home construction while flood
waters poured into the valley. In
these days there was no electric
refrigeration, no central heating
running water, paved streets or
gardens.
Too many are falling behind the
times in home building, TraverS
maintains, and neglecting to take
advantage of the now opportuni-
ties offered by contractors. The
development in home conveniences,
styles and construction has been
greater in the last years than
in any previous decade, TraverS
says in urging increased interest
in building advantages.

that resist heat are gaining favor
and homes are built SO that glass
winGcws-which have practically
no heat resistence-are either
shaded or built with double panes.
A definite trend is noticeable, al
So. toward insulation Of rock wool
placed between layers Of roofing
and siding not only serves to keep
out heat but reduces noise.
Conditioning units for residences
have, in the past few years. been
brought within the reach Of the
moderate home owner. An aver
age bungalow home of four or five
rooms can be equipped with a cool
ing unit for around $1,000. Price
depends largely upon type Of house
type of construction and materials
and number Of persons.
Portable units that can be easily
installed also are available On the
market. Small units can be bought
that will cool one or two rooms.
They can be transferred to any
room, living room in the daytime,
bedroom at night.

FINISH FOR WOODWORK

In choosing woodwork finishes,
fer new FL Centre homes natural
beauty should be retained when
ever practicable. A wood which is

QUICK MORTGAGE
ACTION ASSURED
F. N. A. Administrator An
nounces Definite Decision
in Two Weeks.

Definite action within two weeks
on applications for home mortgage
Insurance Is now assured, according
to q statement issued today by Stew
art Mcdonald, Federal housing ad-
ministrator.
This means, Mr.. Mcdonald said,
that not more than IA days are needed
BY the Federal Housing Administra-
ton to receive an application, make
q searching analysis Of the property,
measure the mortgage risk, make an
appraisal and issue commitment to
insure the mortgage, or to reject 1t
because Of too high a degree of risk.
This does not mean, however, that
the Housing Administration can guar
sntee that analysis of every applica-
ton can be concluded within this
period. Mr.. Mcdonald said.
Inadequate presentation by appli-
cants of plans of the dwelling, errors
in filling out the application form and
omission of other data necessary to
rapid processing, have been largely
eliminated, he said. This is due, to
a great extent, to the education OF
the public in regard to the insured
mortgage system.
The time required for handling ap-
plications has been shortened, not
only by the better understanding of
the technical details of the Federal
Housing Administration program by
lending institutions, but by the in
creased efficiency which district offices
have developed through experience
gained in the handling of more than
100000 mortgages in less than two
years. Applications now being re-
ceived from the lending institutions
for the most part contain all the es-
sential information respecting the
property and the borrower, Mr.. Nc
Donald said. and this makes for
more rapid completion of the entire
transaction.
In view of the thoroughness OF
the Federal Housing Administration S
risk-rating system" Mr.. Mcdonald
said, which requires the gathering
of a great volume of detailed infor-
nation about the property, the bor-
rover, the neighborhood, the trend
of residential development, ETC., it is
significant that a commitment can
be issued within so short time as
two weeks. A great deal of the in
formation and many of the factors
involved in determining the degree
of risk in a mortgage under the Fed
eral Housing Administration system
have not heretofore been completely
covered in the average appraisal
though they have a very important
bearing on the soundness of mort
gage as an investment.
LAS a result of this method of risk
rating, a technique developed by the
Federal Housing Administration, we
can expect increasingly better homes,
better construction and greater values
for the buyer and sounder invest
ments for those institutions which
lend money for this purpose. 1t tends
to discourage jerry building and
shoddy construction"
