On Defense Home Work

H.O.L c. technicians already are
on the job of advising home owners
how to convert vacant space and
substandard units into homes for de-
fense workers, Charles A. Jones,
general manager of the Home Own
ers' Loan Corp, declared today.
Architects and other technicians
will be made available to give ad-.
visory services without charge

areas" Mr.. Jones said. ANY home
owner who applies to his local homes
registration office-and whose prop
erty can properly be reconditioned-
can obtain free expert advice on gen.
eral planning, an estimate Of costs
and an idea of what remuneration
can be expected in the way Of rent"
Mr.. Jones stressed the fact that
applications must be made to homes
registration Offices, which are under
the defense housing co-ordinator's
setup. H. o. L. c. technicians al
ready have contacted these Offices,
located throughout defense areas,
and offered their services. In ad-
dition to its own salaried staff, the
H. o. L. C. has been given 100000
from the Presidents emergency
funds to employ fee architects and
technicians.
The Fl. 0. L. c. has directed the

technicians who will be used are the
same men we utilized in our own
program, and they know their busi-
ness.
"Of course, the technicians pro-
vide only advisory services without
charge. If detailed working draw
ings and supervision of construction
are required, the property owner
will have to pay for them. But he
will be furnished with an expert

The steady increase in building

continued in August with a rise of
IL per cent over July, economists
of the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board announced today. The cumu-
lative increase from August, 1910,
through August, 194l, now amounts
to 12.5 per cent.
With the construction cost index
equaling 100-the base being the
average month of 0-l939-the
August index now stands at l149, as
against 1921 for the same period
last year.
Though the cost of labor during
recent years has risen with greater
rapidity than that of materials and

1940, there was a sharper rise in
the cost of materials in August this
year than in labor-or a is per
