NEW BUILDING
REGULATIONS
ARE RELAXED

War Production Board regulations
definitely permit recOnditioning and
remOdellng of homes that will supply
needed war housing Although the
Board recently frightened its prlOrities
requirements the ST restrictions apply
mainly To construction in nOn-war
areas and were designed To eliminate
mon defense and non essential pro-
jectS. Rem0deling and reconditiOning
that will supply needed war housing is
definitely permitted. Priority Iuthori-
ties will look with favor on remOdeling
projects which will make available ad-
ditiOnal dwelling units at rentals
workers can afford 10 pay, which are
accessible To war plants by foot or ex
listing lines of public transportation,
and which have been stripped VI all
non-essential critital materials.
If the estimated total cost Of a re-
pair or remOdeling job is under 800
and the materials ara already on band
the builder or owner may proceed as
usual without WPB permission and
without filing papers with any federal
agency. IF critical materials are need
ed and SupplierS require priOrities
rating. form PD -fO6 should be conplet-
ed, signed by the builder. certified by
the owner and filed with FILA. Such
application, if approved by FILA and
recommended TO the WPB, will be
granted an Az preference rating
On jobs over 500 the cost Of the
critical materials is the limiting factor
rather than the overall cost Of the Job.
In short. jobs costing 81 900. $1,000 or
even 5000 or more can qualify FOR
priOritieS rating if the cost of the crit
ical materials involved does not exceed
an average of 800 per room for each
dwelling unit and the cost Of the
scarce materials per structure does not
exceed $500. AccOmmOdat iOns created
by this construction must rent or sell
during the war period at prices SET
forth in the approved application. In
no case can the shelter rent exceed
so per dwelling unit, nor can the sale
price exceed 5000 per single family
structure.
According TO comments by local
FILA officials, applications can be
speeded If projects are stripped Of all
nOn-eSSential critical materials at the
time plans and specified tiOns are be-
ing prepared. Critical materials must
be conserved in all projects and appIi-
cants will facilitate WPB action by
cutting the use Of such materials to
minimum before the project comes to
the FILA office" stated Raymond
Foley. local FILA representative
Property owners desiring TO remodel,
recOndition or convert should apply In

Resort Phone
Service Curtailed

While the Michigan Bell Telephone
Company expects TO be able to meet
most requests for service at its sum
mer resort exchanges this year, many
persons still will be unable to get ser
vice because of war restrictions, of
ficialS Of the company stated today,
Company officials also pointed out
that new residential extension tele-
phones will not be available at any
point except when essential to the
public health. welfare and security"
Telephone installations may be cur
tailed. officials said, if they involve
considerable line construction. Only
party-line service can be provided in
some localities. Service also will be
difficult TO obtain if traffic over tele-
phone lines at an exchange already is
approaching switchboard capacity.
That will mean that, at some points
at least some summer homes that have
had service in past years may be I'M
able to get it this year
Every application for service. the
company said. will be decided on its
individual merits and the available
facilities. including lines and central
office apparatus and capacity. In some
cases. field investigation will be re-
quired TO determine whether service
can be made available.
lRestricutiOnS to date affect mostly
those exchanges where service demands
are greatly increased as a result OF
military or industrial activities arising
from 1.-THE war effort Officials said the
situation may become more severe

ii necessary to expand its restrictions
