Construction of FILA rental
housing in the District and
throughout the country has
dwindled almost to the van
ishing point.
A check today showed that
the Federal Housing Admin
istration has not issued a COM
mitment to insure a single
District area rental develop
ment for nearly a year.
In the country as a whole, 20
FHA projects containing only
f.467 apartment units have got
the go-ahead signal from jan
uary through May of this year.
In contrast, during the last
10 wears an average of 873
projects containing $4,000
units we're approved each year,
resulting in investment of more
than a half billion dollars in
FHA rental projects each year.
In sharp comparison, invest
ment in rental housing for the
first five months of this year
may not reach even as much
as SIS million.
Part Of the reason for the
dragging rental construction
situation is that in some areas
substantial production has
taken the edge of demand.
But high demand for rem
tai housing has never, unaided.
resulted in big production of
apartments for moderate in
come families.
In the last 10 years, a total
of more than 675,000 apart
ment units were built, princi-

Hoyt Sees Deficits
In Low-Cost Homes

Let's face it: If you don't have
an adequate income you're in for
a peck of trouble. Even your
neighbors and elected officials
are apt to view you askance.
Homer Hoyt. land-use econo-
mist, dealt with the matter the
other day at the Second Annual
Builders Conference Day spon-
sored by the Suburban Maryland
Builders Association at the In
dian Springs Country Club.
He said every house built in
Montgomery County that cost
less than about SIT, 900 was a LA
bility to the county, in one sense.
in that taxes yielded from it
would not pay the homes fair
proportion of needed revenues.
In Prince Georges County. a
house costing less than $13.500
was in the same position of being
to inexpensive to allow the county
to "break even" on revenues.
Houses selling substantially be-
low these levels in the two coun-
ties. he said, would contribute
towards creating "a deficit"
Nov, of course, the people
living in the homes buy in the
stores" he said. $50 the shop
ping center. along with these
homes, would create some sur
plus that would help, and maybe
raise the break-even point.
'But the fact does remain that
If you have a great many cheap
homes you will increase the tax
burden on the rest Of the COM
munity."
Referring to the desirability
of industry in suburban loca-
tions. Mr.. Hoyt indicated it all
depends on the industry.
In contrast to a high-wage
industry with a well-designed.

said, you could, on the other
hand. have q type of industry
that might be a nuisance. that
would have low-paid workers
whose homes would not pay the
cost Of schools. and who might
weaken the value Of home areas
in the vicinity. so that factory

pally through Government In
ducements.
Now that there are no Gov
ernment inducements Tin fact
builders often are able to find
more. generous conventional
loans than those available
through Government insur-
ance) production of apart
ments at medium rentals has
hit rock bottom.
So far as the District is con-
cerned, a dearth of rental pro-
duction is not yet working a
hardship.
In fact. indications are that
the apartment vacancy rate is
being somewhat raised as more
and more families buy homes,
even though this effect is
slight.
The Washington area was
more fortunate, however. than
some other areas. 1t obtained
almost $4,000 new FILA apart
ments alone during the 10
year postwar period. This was
almost 10 per cent of the Ma
tion's total supply of new post
war FHA rental units.
Largely. these apartments
were in the medium-rent cate
CORY, in contrast to many in
cities where few FILA projects
were undertaken and where
new apartments, conventional
ly financed. are largely of the
high-rent. luxury type.
An FILA spokesman said diff
ferent persons offer different
opinions as to the reason for
the sharp failure in recent
months of the rental program.
He said some persons sug-
gest there is a lack of inter-
est IN construction of rental
apartments on the part OF in
veStors.
Others. he said, note reduce
tion in demand as largely re-
sponSible.
Miles L. Colean, a former
FHA assistant commissioner.
puts some of the blame on
FHA policies and Federal tax
alton laws.
Still other commentators be-
lieve the reaction of Congress
and FILA to the so-caIled
housing scandals" has helped
to tie rental production in
knots.
After the outcry over FHA
scandals" builders and in
vestors were hedged in with
more regulations. Lower prof.
its were allowed. The basis of
determining the amount of
mortgage insurance was made
more stringent.
In other ways, too, the Gov
ernment and FILA made it less
attractive for investors and
builders to engage in mediurn-
income apartment construc-
ton.
The regulations, as 1t turned
out. worked two ways. They
held down profits effectively.
But they also apparently killed
of rental housing.

Lightning Extracts
Nitrogen From Air

BOSTON.-Thunderstorms are
responsible for extracting an
enormous amount Of nitrogenr
as much as Ia billion tons q
year.
The lightning causes nitrogen
and oxygen In the air to combine
and form nitrogen dioxide. which
In turn combines with water In
rain to form very dilute nitric
acid.
On the ground this may then
combine with limestone to form
calcium nitrate. which may serve
as fertilizer.
