NEW YORK. July l6.-Mort-

homes now makes up one of the
major investment channels for
life insurance company funds.

Surplus receipts, according to
the plan, would be allocated to a
reserve fund and to a stepped-up
prepayment of the balance due.
Under the plan. the report said,
it should be possible to obtain
financing "at an interest rate
lower than the going mortgage
interest rate" since the quarters
allowance fund would provide "a
security comparable In safety to

! On the basis of this plan, the
