number of individuals, expands his
market.
And, since it makes construction
under section 210 a more attractive
venture, it will undoubtedly en-
courage the building of houses by
groups and the attendant economies
and, in turn, lower costs and prices.
Section 210 was devised to open
up a vast new field in the middle
of the housing market as an aid to
the builder who wishes to erect be-
tween $4,000 and $250,000 worth of
housing facilities, but to date only
a handful of single-family houses
for rent and for sale have been
fostered by the section.
Interpretation of Law Stressed.
"The biggest hurdle in the way Of
operation of the section and its ac-
cessory no-doWn-payment plan has
been the Interpretation of enabling
legislation" the Architectural Forum
explains. According to the letter
of the law the maturity of a
blanket mortgage under section 210
is limited to 81 years.
when the section was written it
was felt that this period would be
long enough for the mortgagor to
pay off his loan, but study and ex-
perience have since proved that the
period is short for strictly rental

rental-sales project. Today a more
liberal Interpretation of the sections
wording permits some fiexibility in
the length of the mortgages.

purchaser who antes a cash-down
payment.
Under this plan the purchaser
signs a purchase contract with a
clause stating his intentions to take
title to the house and sign a bond
and mortgage for 80 per cent of the
purchase price when that part OF his
accumulated monthly rentals re-
served for amortization is equal to
the 10 per cent cash-down payment.
Builds Equity in 1S Months.
"If the house sells for $500, and
II the monthly rental is $50, the no
down-payment purchaser will have
built up (after taxes, interest at 5
per cent on the unpaid balance and
insurance have been deducteO his
required equity in approximately 18
months.
while not owner in fact, the pur-
chaser during the rental period Is
considered as such and is therefore
financially responsible for operation
and maintenance. With the down
payment accumulated, the house is
released from the blanket mortgage
and set up under an individual 80
per cent mortgage and decided to the
purchaser.
THE builder is completely relieved
Of the house and its purchaser, now
n1ortgagor, must pay monthly car
rying charges of $43.18 during the
2S-year life of the new mortgage.
"For the buyer the plan has but
few disadvantages" the Architec-
tural Forum observes. ut is boon
to the individual earning a steady
but small income, who for various
reasons may be unable to salt away
large portion of it toward the
usual cash-down payment. Provided
he is considered good risk by the
builder, he may move into a house
without penny in his jeans and pay
for 1t like rent.
However, disadvantages of the
no-down payment plan for the
builder are such that they will limit
its use. Primary among them is the
requirement that the builders capi-
tai be tied up during the rental
per1od-for a still longer period if
some houses remain unsold or rented.
Requires Builder Reserve.
"For this reason only those we'll
established builders who have q
large supply of capital on hand can
afford to operate under the rental
sales and no-down-payment plans
This condition tends to lessen the
validity of the F. H. AS chief objec-
tion-that the no-down-payment
plan may run wild.
"But, in other respects, the nc
down payment is a definite builder
benefit. It provides an additional
sales channel for his houses-one

any other. 1t brings the builders

January Home Loans
Hit 9-Year Peak
Associations RepMt
Net Guin Of 1921
Over Same Month of
Lost Year Recorded

The largest dollar volume OF home
lending in any January for nine
years was done by the savings, build
ing and loan associations this year,
the United States Building e. Loan
League reports. Their SIS, ,567 900
estimated loan disbursements repre-
sented a net gain of 1872 per cent
over January, 1898, and more than
half of the gain was accounted for
by loans for building new homes, the
rest of it by loans to buy existing
properties.
A total of $19,488,0O0, or IS per
cent of the months lending, went
directly for construction of some
kind, either the building Of an en-
tirely new house or the remodelling
OF an old one. This continued the
emphasis upon job-making activ-
tiles which has prevailed the last
six months in the savings and loan
associations lending programs.
Clarence T. Rice, Kansas City,
Kans., president of the League,
points out that organized efforts to
keep home building going on in
winter as well as in the more sea-
sonable months have had their part
in maintaining the high percentage
of savings and loan mortgage money
diverted to these channels. AS ex-
amples he cites the $1,264 900 con-
struction loans by associations in
New York State, and the $1.821 900
by those in Ohio as well as the $2,-
756,OOO in California where home
building is always in season. Illinois
also made creditable showing with
1853 900 in construction loans by
savings and loan associations in
January.
The seasonal. drop in total lending
volume from December to January
took place, but was only l3 per cent
this year, Mr.. Rice said, as COM
pared with % per cent a year ago.
OF the States showing a sizable
volume of savings, building and loan
association mortgages in recent
months, New Jersey Is the only one
where the league estimates a gain in
January over December. Over halt
of the loans made there in January
were for home purchase financing.

cording to purpose and the per cent

Daylight Bent

Every high school student knows
that light travels in straight lines.
But Q method for bending daylight
is proving practical and educational
at New York city's new fire pump
ing station at Coney Island. The
high pressure pumps are located IL
feet below ground and q circular
balcony is provided so that school
children can study the station in OPP
GRAFTON. The problem of conducting
natural light over the balcony and
down into the well was accom-
plished by using a kind of glass
called skytex for walls. This glass
has a directional pattern and bends
light from its naturally straight
course. The architects report that
there is an ample flow of light down
to the pumps.

ming to visit me shortly. Just how
do invite the guests and what kind
of refreshments should / serve?
MRS. E. D. S.
Answer-An "at home" may take
the form of a cocktail party or a
tea and is a grand way to have
your friends and neighbors meet
your out-of-town friend. This kind
Of party is usually very informal
and the invita- tions may be given by
telephone, or they may be written
on your personal cards and read like
this: ITO meet Miss Edith Ellis
worth-Saturday, May 20, 4 to 6
o'clock. If you are serving cock
tails, don't forget the cocktail nap
kins and pass various shapes and
styles Of hors d'oeuvres and tiny
sandwiches on tray. II coffee and
tea are served, see that your dining
room table looks its loveliest with
flowers and your incest cloth, and
invite several Of your friends to as
sist in pouring. Place sandwiches
and small cakes on the table so the
guests may help themselves.

Two Staff Members As. signed Each of 32 VOt-

The Waterbury Democrats elec- tion extra was on the streets last night more than a half-hour ahead of any other extra, giving the pub- lie full information on the election outcome. The extra gave the total vote for the mayoralty candidates and announced that the entire Democratic ticket had been swept into office.
 Two Democrat representatives were on hand at each of the 32 voting places, and flashed the re- suits to the editorial rooms by telephone. There the figures were rapidly tabulated, and the election extra was on presses not long after the polls closed.
 Copies of the extra were in great demand about the city, and news boys were kept busy.
 Election bulletins gave easily in- formation to crowd outside the Democrat office on Grand street. Bulletins were also furnished to Station WATR, which broadcast the returns from the Democrats edi- torial rooms. Vincent A, scully. mayor elect; John W. Ring, Socialist candidate, and other political per- sonages spoke over the radio from the Democrat office.
