START A BUILDING PROGRAM

With a housing shortage in Key West
looming larger every day, many observers
have been trying to find out why build
ing program has not been forwarded.
Questioned about this, prospective build
ers here assert they are unable to get the
funds to finance the work they are plan
ming.
The fact is that while it was difficult
some time back to raise money for build
ing, that is no longer true. NJ. M. Parrish,
state director of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, spent Wednesday night and
Thursday in Key West in an effort to
arouse prospective builders to. take adj
vantage of the opportunity now offered
by that agency.
In brief, he said the FILA could in
sure loans up to $4,000 for remodeliRg
and repairing buildings in the older sec
tons of the city; up to $4,000 for buildings
such as filling stations, restaurants and
stores, without living quarters; up to ST.
500 for new structures combining both
living and business quarters; up to $500
for new dwellings in the newer sections of
the citywo4sonoT
The loaning agency in Key West is
the First National Bank. Mr.. Parrish is
lauthoritye forstheostatement that the bank
will make any loan after it has been APP
proved and authorized by the FILA. APP
pEcations for loans for any of the types of
buildings outlined by Mr.. Parrish must IN
elude proper plans, specifications and esti-
mates, and the prospective borrower must
meet certain federal requirements as to his
ability to repay the loans
In his statements, Mr.. Parrish en-
phasized the fact that while the FILA was
sections for remodeling, repairing, re-
painting and for additions thereto, the
federal agency would not make loans for
new buildings in those sections. He point
ed out that as yet the city has no proper
zoning ordinance, so that the FILA would
depreciation of piece of property be-
cause some Objectionable type of building
was erected nearby.
To summarize, if a man owns a piece
of property in a new section where proper
coming restrictions are in effect, if the man
is able to repay his loan, and if the FILA
authorizes it, the local bank must advance
the money. The bank is insured against
loss by the FILA. There is no longer any
reason for a properly qualified borrower
to hold up his building program

Or go little ways
Into the church to pray?
Into the church I went,

Then out I went into the street;
