The amount of the mortgage in

Housing Administration for the

Under the program as set up by
Congress, FILA was empowered to
insure lending institutions, against
loss on financing, on the basis of
up to 80 per cent of the mortgage
amount.
With risks thus minimized, and
generous arrangements for build
erS' fees, architects fees and other
costs the Government was able
to encourage a rapid expansion
in the supply of rental accommo-
dations.
Without such aid, builders ear

Home Repair Expert
Replies TO Queries
OF HousehoIders
By Roger c. Whitman

Question: We had a new steel
furnace installed last fall, but
never have been able to control
the coal fire in it.
The damper in the smoke pipe
as well as the butterfly damper
have no effect whatever in con-
trolling the fire. The furnace
people who installed the unit have
found no solution. We want to
put in oil or gas in another year,
but would like to find out if it
is our chimney that is causing
this trouble. Would like your
suggestions.
Answer: You do not say any,
thing about closing down the
ash pit door damper to control
the flow of air through the bed
of Goals. Perhaps the bed of Goals
is not deep enough. 1t should
almost reach the bottom of the
coal feed door.
If. with these suggestions, the
condition continues, have a COM
petent heating contractor install
an automatic draft regulator in
the smoke pipe. I would also
suggest that you write to the
maker of your furnace and ask
him to send their pamphlet of
instructions on the operation of
their unit. Your chimney seems
to be satisfactory.

 FROM INFERIOR TRIP

MT. and Mrs. Bert Mcdowell and three children arrived on the Prin- cess Norah from a three weeks car trip through the Interior and over the Alaska Highway.
 On July the McDowells left by boat for Valdez. The first point of interest they visited was the ghost mining town of Chitina on the old Copper River and Northwestern Railroad. MT. Mcdowell reported that many large trailer trucks were operating out of Valdez. These trucks, he said, can carry as much as half a railroad carload of cargo.
 Fairbanks impressed the McDow- els the most of the Alaska cities visited. The reason for this was the amount of business there. The roads and lodges were all excellent McDowell reported.
 From Fairbanks, they went to Circle Hot Springs and recommend visit there for anyone.
 Arriving at Whitehorse, the Mo- Dowells travelled over the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Skag- way. Their car was shipped on the railroad and put aboard the Prin- cess Norah.
