SURVEY IS ASKED
ON ARMORY NEED
Gen. Cox Calls for Data
on Buildings Available
Here.

Because Of the cramped conditions
under which the units of the local
militia are receiving their training,
Brig Gen. Albert L. Cox has asked
the commanders of the various units
to canvass the situation to ascertain
what, if any places, are available in
the city for indoor training of troops
during the winter He asked them to
ascertain if there are any buildings
which are not now used full time.
which may be used by the Guard and
which would be suitable for some Of
the indoor work which is required
during the armory drill periods.
Every effort will be made to better
the facilities of the Guard, and par
ticularly to be forearmed with in
formation on available buildings in the
event the Guard may be forced to va
cate its present armory which is To-
Gated in the old National Hotel
With Federal Government units
occupying almost all available space
in buildings there is very little which
might be obtained by the Guard.
Furthermore, the funds allowed for
rental are not sufficient to acquire any
large buildings under present rental
fees, but it is probable that the in
formation which might be obtained
as a result of the survey which has
been asked by Gen. Cox may serve
as the basis for data which may be
submitted to Congress at the next
session to show the real conditions
which the local militia is up against
in its search for suitable facilities.
The Guard last week received a let
ter from Acting Secretary of War
Col. John w. Oehmann, written at
the time he was acting commander of
the Guard, calling his attention to the
deplorable armory conditions here, as
noted in the reports of Regular Army
officers who made the annual armory
inspections of the local troops
He said he recognized that the
need for an armory here was urgent,
and noted that the Guard was max
ing an attempt to receive relief funds
with which to construct new build
ing. He expressed the hope that the
local officers would be successful in
their efforts, and added that he would
do everything possible to foster the
proposal
The officials are hopeful that the
present efforts to obtain funds foE
an armory. without the necessity of
again going to Congress. will be sue
cessful. They are anxious to get the
construction under way as soon as
possible before they find it necessary
TO vacate the present building.

FIJI. A. SLIP SHOWS
AMOUNT OF EQUITY
Purchasers Should Ask for
Handy Schedule of
Amortization.

A simple and easy-to-understand
amortization schedule which shows
to the penny. on any given payment
date, the amount of equity and the
balance to be paid, is available to all
who purchase homes through the in
sured mortgage plan of the Federal
Housing Administration.
Purchasers should request this sched-
ule from the mortgage at the time
the mortgage is insured by the Federal
Housing Administration. The table
shows in detail the monthly payments
required with the exact amounts to
be allocated to mortgage insurance
premium, interest and curtailment of
principal
Thus. home purchasers are able to
have constantly before them COM
plete picture of their obligation
throughout the entire period of the
mortgage.
This amortization schedule is of
great value to the borrower because
it removes any possibility of concealed
costs which confronted the home
buyer under the old multiple mortgage
financing schemes before advent of
the single insured mortgage.
In addition to keeping the borrower
completely informed-as no other
method in home financing ever did
before-the schedule serves as a re-
minder that there are no hidden
or disguised charges under the F. H. A.
plan
The schedule is designed to elm.
mate any possibility of misunder-
standing as to the requirements of
the lien. 1t constitutes a complete
detail of how the monthly payment is
split up to retire principal, interest
and other charges, except taxes and
hazard insurance.
The administration urges home buy
ers to bear in mind the importance of
this chart and to have it on hand
at all times for ready reference.
