that the Government is the sole

millions of pounds of Jewish
capital are spent annually for
these purchases. He also de-

Graham optimistically predict
ed that by the end of the year the
states road system should be in
good shape, particularly the Sec
ondary and farm-to-market roads.
Several things are holding back
the huge maintenance and con-
struction program, Graham said,
including materials, new machin-
cry, and a balanced road build
ing program.
I'VE could go ahead right now
and let contracts for over $780,
0OO,OO0 for new roads, Graham
said. But that would concentrate
all the work on our hard-surfaced
roads and would leave the second
ary county roads neglected. There
fore, we're trying to do as much
work on the primary and second
ary roads as we are on the coun-
ty farm-to-market roads,"
Contracts totaling over $5,000,000
have already been let during the
current year for new roads and
bridges. In all, the state has an
estimated $44,0o0,oo0 it can spend
this year. The federal govern
ment has allotted over $1,000, 900,
also to be spent this year on the
states highways and roads.
Over $8,000,000 Of the states
funds is for primary or hard-sur-
faced highways. To 60 with this
amount, the government has ap-
propriated S., 433, 900. The state has
over $10,000,000 it can spend this
year on maintenance and construc-
ton of county highways.
The government appropriation
for secondary roads totals $4,453,-
613, while $1,492,475 from the gov
ernment is earmarked for urban
projects.
Graham said shortage of
equipment was holding up much
of the work, but added that he
thought this would be alleviated
some as soon as the steel strike
is settled and production is re-
sumed.
The biggest need is for trucks
and motor graders. At the pres
ent, the highway department is
primarily concerned with the coun-
| ty roads which have taken the
worst beating from winter weather
in years.
Graham said that many Of the
states highways would be retreat
ed with asphalt as soon as warm
weather arrives.
I'VE have the necessary tnds
to put the states road system
back into good condition." he said,
but it'll take time to do 1t. BY
the end of the calendar year we
hope to have all of the highway
roads in as good condition as
they were before the war;"

LOCAL LOAN HEAD
SOUR ON FHA LAW
Says Priority System Will
Slow Commercial Build
ing For Awhile

Passage Of legislation authoriz-
ing the Federal Housing admins
tration to establish a priority sys-
tenn to channel building materials
into homes for veterans may slow
down construction of commercial
buildings in the Wilmington area,
but it will not result in squirt of
home building, is the opinion Of
the head of a local building and
loan association.
Here in the local area, we have
more commercial structures being
built than homes" the official said.
Establishing a priority system
may slow down construction of the
commercial buildings such as
garages and stores-but I do not
believe it will result in construc-
ton Of great many new homes
by veterans"
Most home loans now being
granted to veterans are for the
purpose of purchasing homes al
ready Dullt, ne SAID.
Builders Wary
LAS long as builders are able to
secure any construction materials
without using the priority system,
they will not 60 into this FILA
horne building for veterans very
deeply. The red tape involved
makes it not as good a proposition
from the builders standpoint" he
added.
Purpose Defined
FHA officials have declared the
main purpose OF the legislation to
be to expedite construction Of
housing costing less than $4,000
for occupancy by veterans.
Materials Property
Priorities, which are placed on
building materials from the time
they are manufactured until they
are utilized in actual construction,
will be given individual veterans
and builders who agree to give the
veterans Of World War II prefer
ence in renting and buying the
structures.
Applications for priorities may
be obtained from any FILA field
office.
Maximums Listed
The $4,000 ceiling placed on the
sales of houses, including land and
improvements, or the $50 per
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-17

month rental are maximum fig
ures under which builders must
stay in order to take advantage Of
the priority system.
'That," the building and loan Of
ficial said, ''is another bad feature
Of the FHA plan, from our stand
point. If We get materials through
the priority system, tell the gov
ernment that we estimate the
house will cost $1,000, say, and the
cost is greater than that, we lose
on the deal because that is the
highest figure we can charge.
Stipulations
Besides the $4,000 ceiling for
purchase of homes and the $50 per
month rental charge, the FHA reg
ulations also stipulate that:
l. Applicants must furnish des-
cription of the structures they plan
to build and the price or rental at
which they will make it available
to veterans. FHA field offices
must be satisfied that the propos-
ed sale price or rent is reasonably
related to the proposed acconmo-
dation.
2. Applicants must show they
will be ready to seart construction
within 80 days and demonstrate
that they have effective control Of
the land, that financing is assured,
and that arrangements have been
made for local building permits,
utility services, and the like.
Veterans Only
3. Applicants must agree to
make the housing available only
to veterans during the period Of
construction and for 30 days there
after. In his sales agreement, a
veterans or other purchaser Is
pledged to the same 30-day wait
Ing period In case Of resale and
the sale must be made at or be.
low the maximum sales price orig.
inally paid.
4. The regulation makes possible
also the conversion of existing
structures where it is shown in
creased dwelling units will result
and 1t also covers construction OF
dormitories or group housing for
educational institutions for the
benefit Of veterans.
Materials Affected
The materials to which priorities
will apply include common and
face brick, clay sewer pipe, struc.
tural tile, gypsum board, gypsum
lath. cast iron soil pipe and fit-
tlngs, cast iron radiation, bathtubs,
lumber, and millwork. FILA has
announced that additions or dele.
tons from this schedule may be
made from time to time.
