Home Foreclosures
Drop for February

During February there were 10
per cent fewer urban home fore
closures than in January, when they
dropped to the lowest average
monthly level in the last II years,
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
economists estimated today. With
the foreclosure index OF the boards
division Of research and statistics
based on figures for 1884, the de-
crease in February from January
previously has averaged only per
cent during the last six years.
Numbering 5,825, February FORE
closures by all types of mortgage
lenders were 80 per cent below Feb
ruary Of last year in the entire non-
farm area of the Nation, the boards
division said.
There were II per cent fewer fore
closures in the first two months of
this year than in the same period of
1899.
Recessions of 8 per cent from jan
uary and 28 per cent from the COM
parable month last year were re-
ported for foreclosure activity in
metropolitan communities-counties
containing one or more cities of
100000 and greater population.
The greatest declines from Janu-
ary were registered in the Winston
Salem Federal Home Loan Bank
district of Southeastern States in
Guiding the District-24 per cent
and the Portland district of Pacific
Northwestern States-21 per cent.
The largest decreases-51 per cent
and 40 per cent, respectively-from
February last year were experienced
In the Chicago district of Illinois and
Wisconsin and the Little Rock dis
trict of five Southwestern States.

February Loans Equal
March Of Last Year
For Home BuiIdinq y
Associations Report
Mere Tnon $7l, ,50c, 900
Put to Work

A larger increase In February
loans over January than any pre-
vious year Of the past five has
shown is reported for the savings,
building and loan associations. A
total of $71 ,522 900 for February is
the estimate of the United States
Savings and Loan League, which is
7 per cent more than January loan
volume. The gain over February,
1899, is % per cent and this years
February loans are almost equal to
those of March last year, A. D.
Theobald, Chicago, assistant vice
president of the league, said.
Taking both months Of 1910 for
which reports are available, the
league flnds that new mortgage
loan volume is $24,590, 900 ahead Of
1899, and that the increases are
noted in each Of the classifications
Of loans according to purpose
construction, home purchase, re-
financing and modernization.
Unaffected by Slump.
"This more than seasonal gain
In savings, building and loan ac-
tivity leads to the belief that the
slump in last falls business recovery
has not had any appreciable effect
on the mounting public interest in
the purchase and building of homes"
said Mr.. Theobald. IF this i'm
munity to the slump continues far
into the spring, the home building
industry may well prove an effective
check on any further decline in
business activity in general and save
the life. of the incipient business
BOOM"
He pointed out that construction
loans by savings, building and loan
associations in January and Feb
ruary Of this year were % per cent
greater in volume than for the same
two months last year. This type Of
financing is directly contributory to
employment and can therefore be
figured among the signs pointing to
increased jobs in the of1ng.
Benefits Continue.
Any increase in business activity
engendered by savings and loan &C
tivity lags anywhere from one to
two months behind the actual grant,
ing of the loan, he said, so that the
communities where associations have
been unusually active the early
months of this year may look for
ward to seeing general business i'm
prove materially this month as
result.

and the purpose for which they were
made follows:

Colds, nasturtiums, ETC., for the re-
mainder Of the summer. The builder
plans to fill the beds this year with
blue petunias, which will bloom till
fall. In another year a combination
Of bulbs, iris, and ANIMALS might
be most effective. A row of iris at
the back Of each terrace with daffo-

the front edge where they could

very effective display, providing a
