President Asks Fund
To Provide DC. Wafer
In aseof Sabotage
$4,000 Is Requested
| Now for Emergency
Pumping Facilities
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Fears of possible sabotage of the
Districts water supply system
caused President Roosevelt to re-
quest Congress late today to include
in the first deficiency appropriation
bill an item of $4,000 for changes
in the Dalecarlia hydro-electric
plant. The proposed change would
permit the plants conversion in
cases OF emergency into a pumping
station for lifting water from the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal into
the Dalecarlia Reservoir.
The 1912 budget pending before
the House Appropriations Commit
tee carries the $4,000 to make the
change, but the money would not
become available until July l. In
view of the emergency, the Presi-
dent urged that the item be shifted
to the deficiency appropriation bill
which is soon to be acted on by Con-
gress.
Presidents Request.
With reference to the $4,000
item, the President said:
"An estimate for this purpose is
included in the District of Colum-
bia budget for the fiscal year 1912,
recently transmitted to Congress,
but because Of the possibilities of
sabotage and also the possible de-
lays IN securing machinery, the Dis
trict Commissioners consider it I'M
wise to await action by Congress on
the 1912 District of Columbia an
nual appropriation bill. They,
therefore, urgently recommend that
this estimate be included in the first
deficiency appropriation bill.
"Ihe entire water supply for the
District of Columbia is taken from
the Potomac River at Great Falls
and Is conduted to the Dalecarlia
Reservoir through two parallel con-
duits, 80 feet apart. each approx
mately 10 miles in length. Loss OF
even one conduit from any cause
would result in serious water
shortage if repairs cod not be ef-
fected within three days.
This proposal contemplates the
procurement and assembling OF
auxiliary equipment within the
hyro-electric station situated beside
the G. & o. Canal at Dalecarlia SC
that in an emergency and within
two days, the station could be tenn
porarily discontinued as a gener-
ating station and converted into q
pumping plant to pump water from
the canal into the Dalecarlia Res
ervoir.

In addition to the $4,000 item

Houses Sometimes
Become 0utmoded

Houses may sometimes be-
come outmoded and old-fashion-
ed quite as much from obsolete
color treatment as from anti
quated insulation, plumbing, or
odd design.
The Modernization Credit
Plan of the FILA makes it easy
and simple to modernize house
with colors and at the same time
preserve its value.
Modern yet equally durable
colors are replacing the dull
gray, brown, and buff which
were once standard for the out
side of most American homes.
The current trend in paint
styling is to utilize the accent
features such as trim, doors,
shutters, and window boxes, to
produce individuality and inter-
est in the entire exterior color
plan. Another modern idea is to
apply color in both walls and
roofing to bring out the good
features of old homes and hide
the less appealing ones.

A. Achieving an interesting ex-
terror appearances for rectangu-
lar-shaped houses requires more
ingenuity than for those which
are L., u, or Z-shaped. Good
wall-opeping arrangements, care
in selection and use of materials,
and design of minor details are
important. Often the use of q
well-proportioned porch, q bay
window, and an attractive en-
trancerdO0rway will assist in Oh
tanning on interesting appear

fences, and similar accessories
can be used to give the house
individuality. Attaching the gar
age to the house is also an effec-
tive means of achieving variety.
It tends to make the house ap-

Proof Of the soundness Of the
FILA plan, Mr.. Ferguson obser-
we'd, Is seen in the fact that GA
per cent of the new homes on
which mortgages were insured
by FILA during 1910 were valued
at less than three times the an
nual income Of the borrower.
Records of the FILA show that
more than 70 per cent Of the
borrowers under that FILA pro-
gram acquired properties valued
at less than $4,000 during 1910.
The median family income of
the purchasers of new homes
last year was $2,38l.

FILA Market
is Widened
Reduced Risk
is Responsible

AS result of its careful con-
sideration of the risk involved in
home-loan transactions and by
the reduction Of this risk to q
minimum, the Federal Housing
Administration has greatly ex-
banded the market for houses
and broadened opportunities for
home ownership.
One of the major provisions Of
the FHA- insured mortgage sys-
tenn for the protection Of the
home buyer and the reduction
of his risk is the painstaking an
alysis of the borrowers capacity
to pay, made by the FILA before
the mortgage is accepted for in
surance.
This rating of the borrowers
credit enables lending institu-
tions to accept small down pay
ments and low monthly charges
through long-term maturities
and reduced interest rates, under
the FILA plan, which would not
otherwise be feasible. In this
manner home ownership has
been brought within the safe
reach Of many thousands Of
American families.
Desire for home ownership
cannot compensate for monthly
income under the FILA program
as it was frequently allowed to
do under older forms of mort
gage lending.
In rating the risk involved In
q mortgage-loan application SUBJ
mitted for acceptance, the FILA
ascertains the portion of MONTH
ly income that would be absorb
ed by mortgage payments. II this
figure Is too burdensome, the
loan Is not considered sound, and
the application is rejected. Und-
er some circumstances, a counter
proposal may be made to the
lending institution, and through
1t to the borrower, for changing
the terms of the mortgage to q
basis which the FILA would con-
slider safer.
Although the FILA encourages
home ownership, it seeks to en-
only such home loans as
will result eventually in debt
free home ownership.

FILA Influence

Results of the Federal Housing
Administration's efforts to en-
courage better residential con-
struction standards are evident
to any observer of the newly de-
veloping districts in cities where
home building has been active
during the past five years.
In place of the typical urban
development of homes crowded
together along main highways,
once q Characteristic feature Of
home building, one now finds
the typical small-house develop
ment located near the main
highway but with quiet local
streets that afford no attraction
to through traffic.
Streets are now better adapted
to topography, trees are preserv-
ed wherever possible, and care is
taken to preserve the topsoil,
Federal Housing Administration
officials say. The excessively
long and narrow lot has given
way to the shallower but wider
lot that is better adapted for hv-
ing requirements. Architectural
appearance has been vastly i'm
proved, and the quality of con-
struction generally has been
raised.
Competent observers are rec
ognizing that the influence Of
the FILA extends far beyond
the properties which secure in
sured mortgages.
