Home Ownership Spurred by FILA
 Also New Laws
I. A. Morgan, Agent for Juneau and Douglas,
 Tells of Benefits

Enabling legislation in A states contributes largely to the successful operation of the National Housing Act, according to T. A. Morgan, Manager of the Columbia Lumber Co, of Juneau and Douglas. agent for the General Home Financing Corporation. It helps to bring into Americas growing group of home owners many who could not have afforded this luxury under the old order of mortgage lending
 Passage of the National Housing Act was but the first step toward socsening home-mortgage credit and making such loans secure for both lender and borrower, and the exten- sion of the Act to Alaska is a mark ed step in new construction, which is so badly needed here. Most state laws prohibited mortgage loans in excess of 50 to 66 per cent of the appraised value of the property while the Housing Act allowed 8C per cent mortgage loans. Thus be- fore any widespread use could be made of the new Federal law, state laws had to be amended to conform
 Actually these men de d laws brought thousands of individuals into home owning and building While no actual figure is available It seems reasonable on the basis of results to figure that the majority of borrowers on insured mortgages are those individuals who could not have afforded home owning on a slngle mortgage under the old state laws. The alternative, of course would have been two mortgages, and the high cost of this means of fi- nancing long ago proved one of the greatest hazards to home owning.
 The recently issued report of the Federal Housing Administration shows that 73 per cent of all insured
