Suggests Study
Of Design Trend

A family builds or buys a home
not just for today but for the fu.
ture. So in designing or selecting
a home, families will benefit by
considering architectural trends,
FILA suggests.
There is a growing movement
today to place garage, kitchen and
service facilities at the front of
the house and TO move living quar-
ters to the rear. Houses are be-
ing moved forward on the lot, al
lowing greater use of the yard as
additional living space. The uni
form building line is being elimi-
mated. and houses are being plac-
ed as widely as possible from
neighboring dwellings.
Improvements in the design of
so-called modern" houses. new
materials, and new methods of
building are helping to broaden
the acceptance of modern styles of
architecture.
In considering today's trends
FHA officials note that a conserv-
atiye style of architecture, based
on sound planning. is usually the
safest investment.

Home Quality
Affects Risk

The ability OF the average mort
gage borrower to make monthly
payments on his property over a
period of years may often be af-
fected by the amount which he
must spend annually for mainte-
nance and repair of his home.
The average home buyer must
budget his yearly expenditures
carefully. and unusual or unex-
pectedly large repair expenses
may seriously impair his ability
to meet payments.
The Federal Housing Admins
tration believes that well-built
homes may be kept in condition
at a relatively small expense. On
the other hand Jerry built" struc-
lures deteriorate rapidly and may
require major repairs within a
few years.
The Federal Housing Admins
tration has a twofold interest in
construction standards" an Off
cial said. Many FILA insurance
contracts run for 20 and % years
and we must be assured that the
structure securing the mortgage
will still be in good condition up
to the end of the amortization per
iod.
in addition, the FILA believes
the owner of a well-constructed
house which provides reasonable
comforts and conyeniences will
make sacrifices TO keep his house
Standards and construction re-
quirements developed by the FILA
have had a marked effect upon
the standards OF residential con
struction throughout the country.
Improved conditions already are
being reflected in lower mainten-
ance costs

"Since financing costs are eth.
