FILA Office 10 Handle Priority Applications

Contractors planning to build homes for defense workers in areas around the cities of Anchorage, Ket- chikan, Kodiak and Sitka are to send their applications for prefer ence priority ratings for building materials to the Alaska field office of the Federal Housing Admins tration here, it was announced today by Herbert Redman, in charge of the local office.
 Under a recent order issued by Donald M. Nelson, priorities chief in the OPM, field offices of the FILA have been designated to receive ap- plications for preference ratings under the priority order affecting home building, Redman declared The FILA will not award these preference ratings to builders, Red- man pointed out, but will merely assemble applications for ratings and forward them to OPM regional offices in Seattle.
 Preference ratings for critical de- fense materials may be obtained for proposed homes for defense work CTS in the four specified Alaska areas, Redman explained, if the total value of the property will not exceed $60U0, if for sale, and if the estimated rental shall not exceed $50 per month.
 This service on the part of the FILA offices is not being carried on in connection with their own ac. tivities, Redman stressed, but is merely a cooperative service in the interests of the ( fense pro am. Property to receive preference rat ing need not be cove ;. by an in- sured mortgage, he explained.
 Application forms for these pre- ference ratings may be obtained from local lending agencies in the defense areas, he added.
