Small House Design
Major Concern Of FILA

One Of the major concerns Of
the federal housing administration
has been the improvement Of
small-house design.
One means OF accomplishing
this objective has been through
studies OF FHA's architectural ex-
perts Of new building methods and
new construction materials. In adj
dition. the FLA has aided in the
betterment OF small-home design
by consulting with the groups
chiefly interested in smsll-home
building. such as lending institu-
tons. contractors. builders and
real estate operators. on the
proper methods OF correcting and
combating harmful influences.
The FHA's insistence on sound
design of small homes is a result
of its desire Ia preclude deteriora-
tion AMI neis hboIhood blight.

The coal industry has had no
