in Town Planning

in Town Planning
Sound and orderly city growth
can be secured only when based
upon q carefully conceived city
plan supported by proper coming
regulations and adequate subdi-
vision control, according to the
Federal Housing Administration.
The stimulation of q program
of new dwelling construction by
the insurance of high-percentage
mortgage loans makes the FILA
an interested participant in the
field Of city planning.
In ascertaining the mortgage
risk of an application, the Fed
eral Housing Administration
gives particular consideration to
the credit and reputation of the
borrower, the soundness and
durability of the structure, and
the character of the neighbor-
hood.
NEIGHBORHOOD
AFFECTS RISKS
The effect of neighborhood
character on mortgage risk is of
vital Importance to the FILA in
the insurance of mortgage
loans. Neighborhoods in q grow
ing community are subject to
constant change. Fine old resi-
Dental areas of q decade ago
become the rundown tenement
and small commercial district of
today. This type of neighbor-
hood deterioration and rapid
turnover In land use, all to IA
miliar to the city planner, must
be measured and guarded
against in considering long-term
residential mortgages.
The FILA has established stand
ards which eligible neighbor-
hoods must meet in order to
qualify as an acceptable risk.
FACTORS ANALYSED
The life expectancy" of resi-
dental properties is determined
by an analysis of the following:
1. The economic stability of
the city of which it is a part.
2. Protection provided by zon-
ing and restrictive covenants
against undesirable encroach-
ment.
3. Freedom from the hazards of
flood, earthquake, subsistence,
etc.
4. Adequacy and accessibility
of schools, parks, Fairgrounds,
churches, and places Of employ
ment.
5. Adequacy and cost of public
transportation.
6. The sufficiency of such util-
tiles as water, sewers, electricity,
gas, and such improvements as
roads and walks.
7. The level of taxes and spec
laI assessments.
8. The appeal of the neighbor-
hood.
NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY
Each one of these neighbor-
hood factors is carefully weigh
ed and rated and the quality of q
neighborhood is thus determined
The absence of any one of these
basic neighborhood elements
will, in all probability, result in
the site being rejected for insur-
ance purposes.
It is obvious, therefore, that
the community and its builders,
real estate developers, and finan-
cial institutions desiring to par
ticipate in the FILA program
exert the utmost effort
toward the Improvement and
of good neighborhoods.
A careful analysis of the destruc-
tive factors affecting residential
areas shows conclusively that
they can be controlled to q great
extent by carefully drawn and
conscientiously d m n 3 tered
and zoning regulations.
Although the FILA has insured
mortgages in nearly
every city in the United States
there are still many cities that
are inadequately zoned or have
no ZOninp regulations.

Hattie for Jobs
Clio Leaders Demand
More Defense Work
Fear 100000 Will Be Idle

BY JACK CRELLIN
Times Labor Editor

Faced with the gloomy prospect
that upwards of $4,000 of their
number may be out of work by
Christmas, and probably 100000
before Spring, UAW-CIO leaders
have hitched up their belts and
waded into the fight 10 secure
more defense work for Detroit
and Michigan plants.
Directing the campaign for the
union is George F. Adde's, inter
national secretary-treasurer and
co-ordinator of the defense en-
ployment division of the union.
1t is Adde's job to solve unem-
ployment problems growing out OF
the defense program and to aid in
securing defense orders for com
Imunities where they are most
needed.
