Million Homes

Outlines Method
of Bridging Gap
From War TO Peace

A private enterprise plan %

Joseph B. Mason, editor OF Ameri.
can Builder magazine, who de-
clares:
This is the way to bridge the
gap from war To peace. Pri-
vate builders can provide homes
rs well as jobs for soldiers with
out government subsidies. The
two keys are a liberal national
financing plan and an improved
building technique that will
bring about lower costs.
'Our survey of leading resi-
Dental builders shows that
large numbers have the land
and experience, and the plans
already drawn, for an early
postwar STRAIT. Home building
is one industry that will resume
quickly and will become an
enormous factor I'm providing
employment. Private builders
have great things I'm store for
the public. They are preparing
to build the best houses the
world has ever seen"
LOW PAYMENTS
Tho magazines "million-homes-
a-year' program as outlined by
Mason calls for A postwar home
financing plan with low initial
payments and 25-year amortized
mortgage loans. These would be
insured under a National Mutual
Mortgage Insurance fund admin
iStered by the present Federal
Housing Administration.
The plan would enable private
builders to either rent or sell the
houses built. Families unable ia
raise a down payment could move
in under a five-year lease with
option to buy. They would accu-
mulate an equity while living in
the house.
