LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
EXPANDED BY ADS
Effectiveness Of Campaigns Cited
by Review Of Federal
Bank.

Increased cooperative advertising
in newspapers by savings and loan
associations in msny parts of the
country is resulting in exceptional
expansion Of their business, It was
pointed out today by the Federal
Home Loan Bank Review.
Surveying more than a score of
cooperative campaigns, the review
found two principal results: I. The
public in the campaign areas has
become smuch more aware of the IA
cilities and advantages Of savings
and loan associations 2. An un-
usually large number Of new savings
accounts have been opened and many
new home loans have been made.
Successful newspaper campaigns on
a cooperative basis have been carried
on by associations in such widely
scattered areas as Oklahoma City,
Cleveland metropolitan district, Min

HOME LOAN BODY
EXPANSION SEEN
FalIon Predicts Rapid
Growth in Next Few
Years.

A vast expansion of American saw
ings and loan associations within the
next decade was forecast today by
Nugent Fallon. general manager of
the Federal Savings g. Loan Insur-
ance Corp, who pointed to the rapid
growth of the British building socie-
ties as significant parallel.
He stressed the role of the insur-
ance corporation, $4,000, 600 Gov
ernment instrumentality, in stimulat-
ing the growth of savings and loan
associations by enabling them to offer
the public thoroughly safe, insured,
profitable investment for savings. Such
funds are reinvested in American
homes, often called "the worlds best
risk"
Where we today have associations
with assets of as much as $50, ,000, ,000,"
Mr.. Fallon said. I'VE may expect as
sociations within 10 years with assets
Of $500, 100000. The expectation is
warranted when we note the growth
of the English building societies dur
ing the last decade.
Leads Home Financing.
Where associations in the not dis
tant past used temporary and mod
est quarters, we find them today
in many cases housed in substantial
and beautiful buildings throughout the
country and where In the, not distant
past we saw savings and loan treated
as an unimportant stepchild of the
financial structure, we are finding it
now and at rapidly increasing rate
asserting its leadership in home f.
nancing.
Leadership in the financing of
homes belongs logically and by ex-
perience to the savings and loan as
sociations and the insurance COM
panies. The use of deposit funds In
this field cannot have satisfactory re-
suits over a long period.
IF our wish for such leadership
is fulfilled or If we have hope of its
fulflllment, the management of saw
ings and loan must keep up with the
advancing times. and larger associa-
tions, more substantial quarters. and
particularly, competent management
must be the continuous aim"

Review says that there are many
other cooperative campaigns also
planned or under way In various other
cities and States.
These campaigns reveal that ef-
rective cooperative advertising, like
other advertising of financial institu-
tions. is cumulative in its effect" the
Review emphasized. "A well-planned.

try. They believe that private build
ers, once they become interested, can
erect such houses at a reasonable
profit to themselves.
House No. is the smallest and
least costly of the group 1t is called

may be expanded as the owner desires
In its present form it is for family of
two, consisting of bedroom, living room,
kitchen and bath. The two main rooms
are paneled in pine An unusual,
cost-saving feature is the heating sys-
tenn, which is installed in the living
room fireplace and takes the place of
hot-water boiler 1t may be operat-
ed with either coal or gas. The sub
floor consists of pinch plank on joists
at 6-inch intervals. This not only
gives greater insula ting value, but per-
mits savings in labor costs.
Two-Bedroom Choice.
The second house in the community
is a one or two bedroom and dining
room home. 1t is arranged so that the
rear bedroom opens directly into the
kitchen, making possible its conver-
sion into a dining room. The proper
tons of the house make it suited to
many different eXteriors This par
ticular home has been given a mod
ern" treatment.
House No. offers efficiency on one
floor. while it has the traditional base
ment for housing the heating plant.
There are two bedrooms, living room,
bath and kitchen, with the latter pro-
viding ample space for dining. If the
house were built without a basement
the space now utilized by the cellar
stairway could be used as a heater
room.
Offering virtually every facility or
dinarily associated with six-room
homes, except separate dining space,
and at cost much lower than the
average, house No. features the same
interior wall trea atment as No. 3 in its
three bedrooms, large living room,

facilities are made possible by using
the money spent for Easement in No.

Scores Undermining of
Private Initiative.

The Works Progress Administration
,has forced many building contractors
of long experience out of business by
disregard of private initiative and
economic benefits to communities from
use of the contract system, 1t was
charged by S. M. williams, president,
Bureau of Contract Information, at
the June meeting of the Washington
Building Congress, held at the La
fayette Hotel.
Basing his talk on Establishing the
Responsibility of Contractors and Are
Their Profits Reasonable?" Mr.. Will

OF their opportunities. thereby Great
Sng an uneconomic competitive sys-
tenn which has forced many other con-
tractors to bid at cost, or below, in
order 10 keep the personnel of their
offices employed upon at least some
basis.
Reviews Former Abuses.
The speaker reviewed former abuses
In the construction field. and remind
ed the builders that with the Begin
ming of appropriations for public con-
struction, covering building and en-
gineering, wide authority was given
to those responsible for the award Of
contracts in determining the qualifi-
cations Of bidders for the jobs.
In accepting these responsibilities, :"
he continued, many of the public of
ncials became fearful of criticism from
the public If they awarded a contract
to other than the low bidder. There
lore, they passed the responsibility to
the surety companies, with the result
that If low bidder on a public en-
gineering or building project could Sc
cure performance bond, he was gen.
orally awarded the contract regardless
OF his qualifications.
Sees Disservice to Public.
The public had not awakened to
the result to their communities from
a defaulted contract; first, in delay
IN the use of the improvement, and,
second, in losses to those in the COM
munities who had extended credit to
the defaulting contractor who was not
able to meet his obligations incurred
In the attempted performance of the
contract"
Mr.. Williams raped the w. P. A.
IN his discussion of Are Contractors
Making a Reasonable Profit?" On
this subject he stated:
BY reason of the disregard of pri-
Vate Initiative and economic benefits
to communities from the use of the
contract system, the Works Progress
Administration has robbed the field of
legitimate contractors to the extent
that many of hem of long experience
have been forced out of business.
These conditions have unnecessarily
robbed contractors of their opportuni-
ties, thereby creating an uneconomic
competitive situation which has forced
many other contractors to bid at cost
or below in order to keep the personnel
OF their organizations employed upon
at least some basis. Reports from va
rious sections of the United States
indicate that contractors were bidding

tional bedrooms and larger living
room
Revolutionary Plan Adopted.
House No. is built along unusual
lines. 1t has basement made of
wood which is brought up out of
the ground, thus saving excavation
and masonry costs The home is
revolutionary in plan. consisting of
two stories with the living room on
the second floor The first floor
contains hall, dining room paneled
in hardwood, kitchen and utility
room as well as space for either porch
or garage. In addition to the living
room, two bedrooms and bath are
on the second floor.
The sixth house in the group is
designed for economy below ground
and efficiency above This was
achieved by using foundation size for
a five-room house and allowing the
second floor to overhang the first
floor. The space created permits
division Of this floor into three bed
rooms and bath, while only two Sleep
ing rooms would be possible without
the overhang.
No. I Adds Garage.
Applying the principle of small
foundation area to house No. Z, the
architect has added a garage and
created greater second-fioor living
space by carrying the roof high at
the back This house is the largest
for the money. There are three bed
rooms and bath upstairs, and living
room, dining room, kitchen and ga
rage on the first floor.
House No. 8, constructed for either
city or country living, has a living
room running directly through it. In
addition, there are two bedrooms,
kitchen, bath and utility room.
Each of the houses, while an
entity in itself. is subject to wide
variety of exterior variations and
adjustments to fit numerous styles
of architecture. They have been
planned for possible addition of wings.
and yet are designed to result in a
sound arrangement.
