FARM WATER SYSTEM
M0DERN|ZATION AIDED

The amended and revived Title I
OF the National Housing Act provides
Tor Government insurance Of loans
made for providing existing farm
dwellings with a water supply. The
new ruling is expected to rive tre-
mendous impetus to the moderniza-
ton OF farm homes, says the PLUMBING
and Heating Industries Bureau.
The liberalization OF Title I makes
IL possible for the farmer to purchase
on the deferred payment plan the
complete equipment for a farm water
system, the bureau points out.
! The provisions of the new ruling
are sufticiently broad to cover the
drilling OF well, the construction of
the well pit, the pump, whether It be
nand pump, a windmill with a lack
or an electrically operated pump: the
necessary water supply piping, the
Plumbing fixtures for the bathroom
kitchen and laundry, a water heater
ana the sewage disposal system.
Only about IL per cent Of the
Nations 6,792,462 farm homes now

protection will be afforded to each

Discussions on Thursday afternoon
and Friday centered about the home
mortgage insurance program. Par
ticular stress was laid by w. D.
Flanders. deputy administrator in
charge of this phase Of the program,
on the possibilities inherent in the
insurance of mortgages amounting to
80 per cent of the appraised value Of
the property. The real estate fra.
ternity, he said. should be able under
the new amendments, Ito take the
leadership and aid in bringing about
the long g-overdue building revival"
Both Mr. Flanders and Chairman
Stark stressed the fact that the new
amendments allowing the insurance Of
80 per cent mortgages merely make
legal practices which have been prev
alent in every part of the country.
Under the new plan, however, these
practices are surrounded by safeguards
which were never before present.
Commenting on the formation Of
the National Mortgage Association OF
Washington by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, Mr.. Flanders stated
that the new association should take
the place Of the mortgage discount
banks for which realtors have been
pressing for so many years. Answering
a question from the floor. Mr.. Flanders
said that he was informed that the
National Mortgage Association would
soon announce the terms under which
it would purchase mortgages from
originating institutions This, he said,
should provide solution for many Of
the problems which realtors have
faced in the past.
