Queries for Home BUYERS

Can additions be built on
the house at reasonable cost?"
The size Of q lot and the
orientation of a house upon
it is an often over looked
factor which can con-
siderably affect your family's
comfort. The league lists the
following questions:
"Is the view from the
house pleasant and likely to
remain unchanged? Is the lot
large enough to insure ade-
quate privacy if adjacent
construction is started?
els the house oriented so
that the living room is not
exposed to the hot afternoon
sun? Is the lot graded so
that rain water drains away
from the house in all direc-
tionS?"
The league says: Buying
a home is a complex under
taking and very few people
know enough about it to
make a wise choice without
the help of experts.
THE questions suggested
here, and many others, can
be answered by discussing
them with a realtor or home
builder and with the officers
of a home financing institu-
ton"

NAHB Will Test
Rent-Purchose Plan

The National Association
of Home Builders today an
nounced plans for a demon
stration program of low-in-
come family housing in Tulsa,
Okla.
Under the plans, 100 in
dividual three-bedroom brick
homes will be built to be sold
on a rental-purchaSe basis.
The houses, priced at $4,000
will be available to families
displaced by urban renewal
who have incomes Of SITS to
$500 a month.
The plan was announced
by Richard G.. Hughes, of
Pampa, Tex, a former presi-
dent Of NAHB. He said it
was an outgrowth Of an in
dependent study on low-in-
come housing made for the
association several years ago
by Joseph P. McMurray, now
chairman Of the Fe dera |
Home Loan Bank Board.
In carrying out the plans,
the NAHB will have the CO.
operation Of the Tulsa Home
Builders Association, the city
Of Tulsa, the University Of
Tulsa and the Housing and
Home Finance Agency.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-02

The Tulsa association will
form a non-profit corpora
ten to be called Home Build
ers Demonstration, Inc. This
firm will build, own, operate
and sell the houses in a ur-
ban renewal area called Sem
mole Hills. Mr.. Hughes said
the project has no direct con-
nection with urban renewal
other than to utilize some
land 1t is making available.
Under the plans, families
will pay 20 per cent Of their
income to live in the houses
until a down payment equiv
alent to three per cent of the
cost has accumulated.

House

Here are a couple Of color
tricks to make your home
look bigger. Paint the trim
the same color as the siding.
If there are dormers, paint
them the siding color, too,
because this will give the i'm
preston Of greater height.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-02

Home buyers should pre-
pare in advance some basic
questions they need to ask
about a house.
That is the advice Of the
United States Savings and
Loan League, a national
trade association with a
membership of more than
1890 savings and loan as
sociations.
Some housing require
ments are basic for every
family while others are diff
ferent for each family, but
in both cases it is possible
and practical to decide in
advance what these require
ments are and write them
down." the league notes.
Many Of the basic housing
requirements are included
under the general topic of
construction. The trade or
ganiZation suggests that
home buyers make the fol-
lowing checks:
Check Underpinninss
els there adequate protec-
ton against termites, includ-
ing complete separation of
wood construction from the
ground?
"Is the foundation free Of
large cracks and signs of
seepage? Will the drainage
and storm sewage system pre-
vent basement flooding2 Are
insulation and weather strip
ping adequate?
els the roof free Of leaks?
Does the trim fit neatly
around doors and windows?
Is there a vapor barrier in
the walls to help prevent
paint from peeling or blister
ing?
Are the heating and hot
water systems adequate for
