general contractor Is George
towner Homes. Inc. The homes
are being sold by Land Realty
Co., headed BY Mr.. Lyman.
The project deserves attention
here because it is. so far as is
known. the first in the area to
offer 40-year mortgages.
This is made possible. Mr.
Lyman said, because FILA has
issued commitment to insure
mortgages having this term for
a first group of nine units, and
because the Federal National
Mortgage Association has COM
mitted itself to purchase the
mortgages in line with its au-
thorization to aid Section 213
cooperative housing.
The Federal Housing Admin
istration's national Office said
today that since the cooperative
housing provision became effec-
tive April 20, 1850. a total Of
36,5l8 units have been built in
366 projects throughout the
country under Section 213 of the
National Housing Act. These
units have total mortgage
amount of S348.748,000.
Several Undertaken Here
A number of sales-type CO.
operative projects have been
undertaken in the Washington
area but. so far as is known,
none has succeeded in obtain
ing 40-year mortgages. The Fed
eral National Mortgage Associa-
ton is authorized to make pur-
chases of $50 million in Section
213 mortgages. With most of
this money already used, there
is now pending before Congress
legislation to provide the agency
with an additional $50 million,
IN line with a request OF PreSi-
dent Eisenhower.

In reference to veteran par
ticipation. the legislation pro-
vides that, in case so per cent
of buyers are veterans. FILA will
permit a S per cent down pay
ment. A 10 per cent down pay
ment would be required in any
project where fewer than so per
cent of the buyers are veterans.
Mr.. Lyman said each group Of
homes to be undertaken must
have at least so per cent veteran
participation in order to keep
the down payment low.

Big Jump
Reported
In Savings

The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board reported this week that
Americans added a net of more
than $14 billion to their savings
accounts. United States Savings
Bonds and life insurance equi.
ties during 1856.
The total of such savings at
the end of the year stood at $249
billion. The net addition topped
the 1855 gain by 81 billion and
represented the largest net gain
since 1945.
Savings and loan associations
showed the largest percentage
increase of all savings media,
except for credit unions. Credit
union savings gained 10 per cent,
while savings and loan associa-
tions gained almost 16 per cent.
over the past five years, ac-
counts in savings and loan asso-
ciates have more than doubled
in amount, and those in credit
unions (although relatively
small in total amount) have
grown even more rapidly" the
report said.
In spite of the increase Of
deposits in savings and loan
associations. this class of insti-
buttons made loans amounting to
9 per cent less in dollar amount
during 1856 than during 1855,
the boards mortgage recording

sharper drop in loans than that
reported for any other of the
leading classes of mortgage
lenders.

that SUCH favorable financing
could possibly be obtained in
the present tight-money market.
This financing. as a matter
of fact. is more favorable to the
buyer-from the standpoint of
the long payoff period and the
low monthly payments that it
achieves-than any offered here
at any time, so far as is known.
Advantages Cited
A long payoff period provides
distinct advantages to many
families. enabling them to buy
with relatively low monthly pay
ments and yet-if additional
income is available-to pay down
the mortgage in a shorter time
without penalty.
If preferred. mortgages with
shorter payoff terms are avail
able But the big news. of course.
is that so long mortgage pay
off period as 40 years is possible.
Even 30-year CT mortgages are
difficult for builders to obtain
these days, and the payoff term
of conventional loans is often
held to Is or 20 years.
The shorter the mortgage
payOff term. the higher the
monthly payments. For a house
costing S12.995 in the project
having 40-year financing, the
monthly payment for reduction
of the principal amount of the
loan, and for payment of in
terest, taxes and insurance,
will amount to S76.07, the
sponsors said.
If only a 20-year payOff
period we're available at the
same rate of interest, the
monthly charges would amount
to around S101. This larger
monthly payment, of course,
would make it impossible to
buy for families whose in
comes were not large enough
to qualify them.
The development having 40
year mortgages is sales-type
cooperative principally spon-
sored by Edward F. Lyman. The

County to Buy
1910 Bonds Back

The county has decided to buy
back almost $4,000 worth of its
own bonds issued in the late
1940s in the name of the Subur-

County officials say the county
will save S315.60 in principle and

684.40.
The three issues were the last
bonds issued in the name of the
Suburban District, an area large
ly in the lower county where the
county provides special services.
Several weeks ago the County
Council urged the State Legisla-
ture to abolish the Suburban Dis
trict to the end the bookkeeping
headache of earmarking certain
funds for use in the district only.

Rockville to Start
jefferson Street
Extension Route

The beginning of Jefferson
Street, extended, as an alternate
route to the heavily travelled
Montgomery Avenue was approx
ed Tuesday night by Rockville's
Mayor and Council
This project was included in a
series of hearings on various paw
ing, curb and gutter, and side
walk projects throughout the city
as set up in this years budget on
which construction estimated at
1880 will start this spring.
The only project rejected was
paving, curb and gutter on Evans
Street from Great Falls Road to
Laura Lane on petition of the
present home owners. The only
speaker in favor of the project
was a builder who has plans for
six more houses on the street.
The council denied the project
on the grounds that 1t was pre-
mature at this time since 1t is a
dead-end street at present and
only the people living on it use
it. When Laura Lane is extend
ed the project will be reconsid-
cred.
A hearing on sidewalks, paw
ing, curb and gutter on Com
merce Lane from Fayette Street
to Perry Street, estimated at S10,-
600 was continued until tonight.
A misunderstanding by some
of the property owners as to the
taking line for the street requir-
ed the presence of City Manager
John MARYLAND who was unable
to attend Tuesday nights hear
ing.
The five other projects APPROX
ed by the council were paving,
curb and gutter on Park Road
from Horners Lane to Croydon
Avenue; England Terrace from
Stonestreet to Grandin, Gilbert
Road from Denham Road to the
subdivision line; Seth Place from
Park Road to Charles Street; and
paving on Stonestreet Avenue
from Howard to Crabb
The most expensive project
was the $25,000 extension of JEFF
ferson Street which Is to be 80
feet wide and requires the TAX
ing of commercial property and
also cutting down of a number
of trees between Park and Oak
Streets.

To Hear
Gable
Protest

Mrs. Edward c. Wilson, rep
resenting a group of Brighton
area residents protesting the
plan Of the Potomac Electric
Power Company to string
high-voltage cables near their
homes, has been granted an
audience before the County
Council March u.
The hearing was granted after
County Manager M L. Reese told
the Council he did not think the
action would discourage PEPCO
from building a generating plant
in the county at Dickerson. The
wires, carrying about 100000
volts, would originate at the pro
posed plant.
The company originally wanted
to build the plant in Loudoun
County, Va, but acquired the
Dickerson site after county Off
Gals protested that the electricity
will be used in Maryland but Vir-
ginia would receive the tax rev.
enue from the plant. Company
officials say the lines would pass
through Montgomery County
even if the plant is built in Vir-
ginia and the route would be the
same.
PEPCO has not said publicly
it win build in Montgomery Coun-
ty but Mr.. Reese told the Council
Tuesday that he'd received "all
reasonable assurance" from com,
pany officials last week that the
plant will be constructed at Dick
erSon.
PEPCO officials say they have
already acquired about 10 miles
of the 36-mile right-of-way be
tween Dickerson and the Takoma
Park area where the wires will
tie into the east coast electrical
grid. Three condemnation suits
have been filed.
Assistant County Attorney 10.

Tuesday that there's not much il
can do about the area pro-
test because PEPCO has the right
of condemnation.

of way $50 feet wide.
Power company officials told a
citizens meeting at Sandy Spring

cannot be run under ground be-
cause of the high cost and tech

The 35 cents hike in license fees
would pay for the compulsory

The clinic usually is held in

dogs over four months old by
July l. If the new rules are
adopted people who buy dogs in
