FIJI. A. MORTGAGES
PASS SS1,oDO,O()D,0DO
Figure Reached Just as Body
Rounded Out Its Third
Year of Life.

Mortgages accepted for insurance
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton have passed the billion-dollar
mark, according to announcement to-
day by Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald.
BY a coincidence this figure was re-
corded just as the insured mortgage
system was rounding out the third
year of its existence.
Although the National Housing Act
was signed by President Roosevelt on
June 81, 1884, much preliminary work
had to be done before the insured
mortgage program could be put into
operation. Rules and regulations were
promulgated on November /, 1884.
Also, it was necessary to have the laws
of all the States amended to enable
the program to function effectively,
and it was not until the late spring
of 1885 that it began to gain sub
stantial volume. Virtually SO per
cent of the insured mortgage business
has been done since April, 1885.
The figures strikingly illustrate the
growth of the insured mortgage pro-
gram" said Administrator Mcdonald.
THE amount insured in the closing
months of 1884 was negligible. In 1885
we did a little over s170,000,000 in
mortgages accepted for insurance.
During 1896 the volume of mort
cages accepted for insurance reached
$438, 100000. So far in 1887 we have
accepted for insurance approximately
s385,00O.000. Indications are that the
total for the year will be slightly
larger than for 1886.
1.-THE early part of the present year
witnessed an unusual increase in home
building activity. After May. however,
this activity declined somewhat. due
TO a variety of causes, some OF which
are now showing signs Of being cor
rected or are correcting themselves.
Indications now are that total resi-
dental construction for 1887 will be
slightly above that of 1896.
"One of the reasons for the lag in
residential construction in some areas
is the fact that along with the rise
of building costs came an opportunity
for holders OF foreclosed properties,
who had been carrying them along for
the last few years, to unload them
with the result that real estate de-
velopers with new properties to sell
have been meeting the competition Of
these repossessed properties. When
these properties have been disposed
of there should be improvement in the
demand for newly constructed homes.
Reports recently received indicate
that in many leading cities vacancies
are declining and rentals are increas-
ing. This is usually good sign for
shadowing increased building activity
IN the near future"
Including mortgages selected for ap-
praiSal, large scale rental projects ap-
proved, and modernization and repair
notes insured, gross business trans
acted by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration is nearing the two-bil-
lion-dollar mark. Losses under the
insured mortgage system have been
less than $4,000. To meet such losses
the F. H. A. has mutual mortgage
insurance fund of more than S20,O00,-
900 available.

these attractive finishes may be wash

Boy,5,Phones
Father While
Flames Rage
SON OF PEARL HENNING
is HERO OF FIRE AT
SLEEPY EYE

Sleepy cyclone alone when
a disastrous fire broke out, Mer-
vim, five-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pearl Henning, sounded the
alarm which saved the Jake Hau-
ser residence here from total ruin
Thursday afternoon. The Hen
nings who formerly lived in Red
wood Falls, occupied an upstairs
apartment.
Mrs. Henning had gone to the
Floyd Gregg home next door, while
Mervin remained in the house to
play. 1t was while she was away
that the youngster noticed smoke
coming from the kitchen. With
rare presence of mind, the tot
ran to the telephone to call his
father who is employed at the
First National bank. AS he held
the receiver, the smoke became so
dense that he was unable to wait
until his call was answered.
Mr.. Henning realized that
something was amiss for when he
answered he heard the youngster
screaming. Immediately he rush
ed out of the bank and with Pete
Wins drove to the Henning
home. PEARLS fears for the safe
ty of his son were increased when
within two blocks of the place he
saw smoke coming from the up
stairs rooms. Fearing that the boy
might be trapped, he rushed up
stairs, but was driven back by
smoke. AS he did so, someone
yelled that the boy had made his
escape.
MIR. Hauser, who occupies the
downstairs rooms, heard a COM
motion and was of the belief that
Mervin had fallen on the stairs
He investigated, but paid no fur
Their attention after seeing the lad
run from the house. Mr.. Hauser
was in his living room when MIR.
Wins notified him his home was
afire.
Flames were shooting from the
roof and the fire was spreading to
all parts of the apartment when
firemen arrived. Streams of water
were directed through windows
and canvas was spread over Mr..
Hauser's household effects to save
them from being ruined by water.
Considerable water seeped through
the ceiling and caused some dam

to move back into the house the
following day.

hold goods which were practically
all consumed. Recovered after
the fire was $31 in currency which
Mr.. Henning had left in the cloth
es closet. How the money was
not destroyed is inconceivable,
since almost everything else in the
closet was burned to crisp. The
entire loss, it is believed, will be
between $4,000 and $4,000. MIR
Hauser carried $4,000 insurance
on the house and $500 on his
household goods. The fires origin
is unknown.

COUNTY'S QUOTA TO BE
OVERSIGHT BY LARGE
AMOUNT

Contributions of Redwood Falls
and North Redwood residents to
the Red eros fund for relief in the
Ohio and Mississippi valley flood
area had reached the $214 mark
by Wednesday afternoon to top
the county quota of $170.
North Redwood gave generously
to the extent of $50 and city res
idents donated $161.
Working on the intensive drive
to provide food, clothing and
medical supplies for sufferers in
the greatest flood disaster in his
tory, the local committee includes
George M. Hanson, Oscar Rand
gard, M. o. Hanson and r. v.
Ochs.
The original quota for the en-
tire county was $85. The amount,
however, was doubled by the ma
tional committee from which w.
N. Svenning of Milroy, county Red
Cross chairman, received a wire
Monday. Mr.. Svenning was urg-
ed to procure funds as far beyond
the doubled figure as possible.

1t is believed that contributions
from other towns in the county
and from Redwood Falls and
North Redwood residents who
have not yet donated will swell
the fund to $500. The county con-
tributed $500 for Pittsburgh flood
sufferers last year.
