If you want to hear a lot

osition, we understand If Is

ton of the machines. but how
rural patrons feel remains 5
question.
We know many people first
think of parking meters merely
as a means of extracting a few
pennies and nickles out If
shoppers for the benefit of the
city, but we think the system
also has its good points No
doubt it would facilitafe the
parking of cars for shonnino
purposes, especially on Satur.
days.
The meters should make If
possible to find a parking place
within a reasonable distance of
the shopping center without
having to search for an hour
or park blocks away and CART
merchandise to outside park
ing spots.
We'd be pleased to hear from
any rural residents with their
ideas about the proposition
or city folks either for that
matter.
We don't know about the
sentiment on parking meters,
but our office boy says, re-
garding automobile necking
parties:

ment is against public senti-
ment."

The editor expects to be out

Aided and Allotted by Mrs.

We don't really need a va

have a thing to worry about.
But we're going to take a lit
tie time off anyway.
Seriously, though, we're glad
to hear from our readers or
advertisers, even if it is only to
register a complaint. 1t makes
us feel as though people are
interested in the product of
our labors. Without that in
terest a newspaper could not

Vastly Boosts

Neot CStofo Eo1oT OF Inc SIoF
Washington's FHA Office has
had big influence in the District
area home-building> field in the
last 16 years, even though there
has been little or no direct con-
tact between, it and would-be
home buyers. In addition, it has
vastly increased the supply of
rental apartments here and has
helped to keep homes modern and
in good repair.
A look at the statistics shows
that by insuring banks and build
ing and loan associations against
loss on mortgage loans the local
FILA Office has been responsible
for production of more than 10000
District area houses and apart
ments since it was established
here in 1884.
FHA's incentives have been OF
particularly great benefit to apart
ment builders and mass builders
of single-family homes. Through
FHA commitments to insure loans,
home builders have been able to
borrow construction money in
large enough amounts, with rela-
lively little capital of their own,
to permit them to go ahead with
big single-family projects and
pass on to buyers certain savings
inherent in mass-scale construc-
ton.
Many Families Aided.
At the same time, FHA's lower
down payment requirements and
it's direct-reduction mortgage plan
have aided many families to buy
homes who might not have been
able to do so had they been re-
quired to make the higher down
payments generally demanded by
private lenders prior to establish
ment of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration in the early New
Deal period.
Likewise, through liberal
emergency program set up by
Congress after World War II,
when everybody was crying for
Government action in the housing
field. FILA was able to make it
possible for lending institutions to
provide money for big apartment
projects without risk. This pro-
gram enabled builders to go ahead
with many such developments in
the District area and elsewhere,
sometimes with almost no capital
of their own.
While it's liberality provided a
bonanza for certain builders, this
program was responsible for
boom in rental units such as the
