BUILDERS FAVOR
Survey of % Cities Shows
Approval of Insured Mort
GAGE System.

Operative builders of the United
States favor the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration'S program for a number
of reasons, according to recent survey
in which 1900 operative builders and
real estate statesmen in % cities were
interviewed. Those interviewed said
they favor the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration plan for the following
reasons:
The insured mortgage system is con-
sidered the best type of financing
available to the buyer.
The system of monthly payments
of taxes and insurance provided by
the plan is convenient and sound for
all concerned.
The payment like rent" feature Of
the insured mortgage system makes
it easy for the home owner to meet
his obligations.
The rigid inspections Of properties
coming under the plan, with the at
tending assurance of proper construc-
tion practices, protect both borrower
and lender.
Equally favorable were comments
from all sections in which operative
builders concurred in the opinion that
the Federal Housing Administrations
program has made more money avail
able and has greatly stimulated new
home building.
Figures Are Tabulated.
Percentage figures tabulated fol-
lowing the survey are further signifi-
cant. OF the builders interviewed, 81
per cent were acquainted with the
Housing Administrations plan for in
suring home mortgages; 81 per cent
expressed favorable attitude toward
the Housing Administration; % per
cent were neutral; 81 per cent recon-
mended the plan to customers; an
additional 80 per cent professed max
ing it optional.
Only 10 per cent expressed positive
disapproval of the plan. 1t was found
that in most instances, those who dis
approved were not entirely familiar
with the details of the insured mort
gage system.
Specific comments from various Sec
tions of the country gathered in the
survey, give additional perspective on
the operative builders attitude toward
the program:

A decrease Of approximately 80 per

BUYING TREND UPWARD
Growing Confidence Seen by
Brokers and Operators.

A trend toward responsible invest
fnent buying is noted in the New York
City real estate field by brokers and
operators who see in recent large
deals an expression Of growing "un-
derlying" confidence. Brokers point
to the existing upward trend In rents
and to the tendency on the part Of
large institutions to adjust interest
and mortgage terms in favor Of re-
sponsible buyers as conditions tending
toward improvement. Well-located
properties, they state, will realize sub
stantial increases in value in the near
future.

hitter in the seventh and Shores
was knocked out in the seventh,
Niggeling relieving. Lefty Logan
went in after Page and was pulled
in the ninth in favor of Jim Turn

fought out an even struggle and
Turner especially was entitled to
bouquets.
Jim went to the rubber in the
ninth with two runners on the
sacks and nobody out. The next
man sacrificed and then Turner

fill the bases hoping for double
play. The scheme worked and jim

Culloch's single and scored the first
run on Madjeskis one-base blow.
McCulloch reached third on the
hit and scored when Page forgot
that he was at Station 3 on Hop
kins' dribble to the oox. Vance
tried for double play, second to
first, after it was too late.
The Redskins pulled up even in

and landed on third on Lawrie's
double. On Bouza's roller Lawrie

The champion Minneapolis Mil

Milwaukee. The Colonies victory
was the big surprise of inaugural

Vincent Sherlock, regular Tribe
second sacker, was reported on the

of the home town played the key
stone and collected three hits, in
Guiding a double. He also sacrificed
once. The South Side lad was under
heavy pressure. His arm bothered
him during spring training and he
was a very surprised young man
when Boss Killefer thrust him into
the starting lineup. 1t was rumored
that Sherlock's illness" is chiefly

Vincent started out with the

objections were raised"
A baseball renaissance in Louis
vile was started when 10,550 fans
saw the Colonies defeat Milwaukee,
6 to l, behind the masterful six-hit
pitching of Southpaw Wayne La
master.
For the past several seasons Louis
vile has been the weak link Of the
association and during the last win
ter was threatened with the loss of
its franchise.
Inc crowd at LOUISVILLE was Ufle
largest at any opener and gave the
Kentucky metropolis the "Presi-
dents Cup awarded annually to
the city with the biggest first day
attendance. A separate trophy will
be given when teams in the West
ern division play their first home
contests.
The veteran Ray Kolp gave the
Minneapolis Millers, 1885 pennant
winners, a good start when he
hurled them to 3-to-1 triumph
over Toledo at Toledo before 8102
fans.
Bob Klinger scattered nine hits as
