Ranch Purchase

came the first of seven ranch own
ers who will sell property through
the FSA offices before July l, ac-
cording to w. H. Quade, county
rural rehabilitation supervisor. Most
of the sellers are coast and eastern
holders. Quade said,
Under the FSA farm loan pro-
gram low income farms, who can
not obtain loans from other agen-
cies. are financed on a government
contract which allows years to
repay the FSA at a low interest
cost.
The farmers must be reliable OPP
orators, however, and be familiar
with valley farming practices. They
must be, as Porter was before be-
ing allowed to purchase the 80-acre
Brawley ranch, investigated and APP
proved by special committee. The
valley committee is composed of
John Dubois, Charles Ralph and
Giles Marsh, QuaGe SAID.
The ranch, which is presently
in alfalfa, will be operated on a
well-planned method of operation,
according to its new owner.

These homes are built with public money furnished by another fed eral agency. l
 The $1Oo,00O,OO0 approved this spring by Congress for building loans in defense areas may be in- creased to $sQo,OOo,ooo by an act pending now, Richards stated. He pointed out that President Roose- welt has been more liberal in desig- mating defense areas in Alaska than in other sections of the na- ton. Five Alaska cities have so far been officially declared de- fense areas and eligible to receive loan money earmarked for defense centers, as compared to California, where only three areas have been designated as defense centers.

Alaska FILA
 Applications
 AreMouniing
Requests for Home Build ing Loans in Territory
 Double 1o40

There has been a greater increase in applications for housing loans through the Federal Housing Au- thority for construction of homes in Alaska than has come from any of the states, during this year, it was declared today by Franklin D. Richards, FILA Administrator, who returned to Juneau by plane from Fairbanks after a tour of inspection of housing facilities in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Sitka.
 There was an increase in build- ing loan applications oi ronre than 100 percent in the Territory aurll,z the second three months of this year, according to Herb Redman, Chief Underwater for FILA in AL aska. In the states, the increase, due principally to crowded condi- tions in defense centers, has been only about 30 percent, Richards stated.
 First Official Visit
 Richards, who is administrator for FILA in the ten western states, Alaska and Hawaii, is the first FILA deputy administrator ever to make an inspection of homes i'll Alaska. He praised the work of Red- man in the Territory. Because of his distance from the home office of FILA in Washington, Redman has had a greater responsibility than other underwriters, he de- clared.
 To date, there has been only one foreclosure on FILA financed homes in Alaska, Richards pointed out, although more than $2,500,000 has been loaned to home builders in the Territory.
 Homes Splendidly Built
 You'll go a long ways before you see any better small homes than are being built in Alaska under FILA" Richards stated.
 Most of the increase in appli- cations for home loans is coming from Anchorage, busy defense cen ter, Richards said. Low-cost, mod ern homes are being built there for from $4,000 to 4,500, Redman stated.
 The chief obstacle in the build- ing of homes, that of high con- struction cost compared with the states, may be largely overcome hy planning the more efficient use of labor and material needed, Rich ards believes. Little has been done, he pointed out, along lines of de- veloping lower-cost homes, with out reducing their livability. It is a job for contractors, architects, real estate dealers and building sup ply men to cooperate on, he said.
 For Permanent Value FILA is interested in housing which will have longtime, per- manent value, Richards stated. It ] is not interested in providing for temporary homes, such as homes for army officers temporarily sta tioned in Alaska, he pointed out.
