nosed TO saliva of an animal suspected
of having rabies, he should consult

Of the 7,419 brains examined at the

Building, Loan

April Home Financing
Reported Highest in
Recovery Period

CHICAGO, June PA new high
for building and loan association
lending during the recovery period
was reached in April when $685.
$4,000 was paid out, the United
States Building and Loan League
reported today. The volume was
1877 per cent higher than March
and 14.3 per cent higher than April
a year ago.
Not since 1929 has the total Of
new construction loans in any one
month reached the $37, 1853, 900
which the thrift and home f1nan-
cling associations report for April.
About 1O,650 homes were built
with the aid of these loans, the
league points out. Last September
came closest to this volume Of con-
struction financing, but it was
nearly $4,000, 900 behind the figure
Just released.
Meanwhile, the steady progress
of loans to purchase existing homes
evidences the rapidity with which
property ownership is becoming q
reality for families which were
mere renters few months ago.
April financing Of this type Of
transaction by the thrift and home
financing institutions amounted to
$42,313, 900, or 1877 per cent Of all
loans discussed. Thus the first
four months of the year haYe wit
messed the release Of $127, no. 600
by the associations to assist buy
erS.
Morton Bodfish Of Chicago, ex-
ecutive vice president Of the
league, emphasizes the moderate
size Of the construction loans,
pointing to the predominance OF
the $4,000 to $500 home among
building and loan mortgage securi-
ties.
Rising building costs are re-
Elected, however, in the fact that
the average association new con-
struction commitment Is about
$3.50 larger than a year ago.

BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Since realtors are presumed to
boast copious knowledge OF real
estate. it is readily understood why
such members Of the profession as
Edward r. Carr covered the
ground" excellently last Tuesday.
The reference concerns, OF
course, the foot race which the
sales manager of Thomas j. Fisher
Company captured during the
sporting events at the annual out
ing of the Washington Real Estate
Board.
Carr displayed his Sapience in
the value of land by traipSing over
q hundred yards Of it faster than
the other entries in the Steeple-
chase for men over 40 years of age.
Meanwhile, considerable energy
in getting from one spot Of the
Congressional Country Club to an
other was displayed by Morris
Cafritz and Garfield I. Kass, who
emerged as also-rans in the official
ratings of the race but displayed
little disappointment. The reason.
off the record. is that they were
principally engaged in running
against each other, rather than
the entire list Of competitors.

On June 8, the Government had
spent $1,000, 121, 468, of which $4,-

mately $25O,00O, 900 less. although
at that time in 1886 the relief bill
was slightly higher.
The jump in expenditures this
year over last has been principally
in various items under general ex-
penditures. Disbursements under
the social security act accounted
for large portion of the increase.
Public debt interest charges and
river and harbor work also showed
bigger costs this year over last.
