FHA Totafs 54,750,000 in Week

With a volume in excess of $4,750,000 for one week, the Southern California district office of the Federal Housing Adrninistration accepted more than 1200 small home mortgages for appraisal during the week ended June 13, Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California district director, announced.

"This all-time high was made possible through the addition of Title 6, the new defense housing insurance bill to the National Housing Act," said Mr. Bingham, "so that the F. H. A. could co-operate with builders in meeting the demands for additional housing needed in defense areas."

Out of the total of. l2ll applications represented by mortgages valued at $4,796,3ffi, applications for the insurance of 536 loans amounting to $1,806,950 came within the Title 6 provision; 662 cases for $2,956,850 were under Title 2, and the remaining 13 for $32,500 under Title 1 of the National Housing Act.

With the exception of. 42 cases, all mortgages called for the construction of new homes under F. H. A. inspection.

Double-Checked Floor Plans for Low-Cost Farm and Village Homes

Washington, June 21.-A vast market for small home construction is lying fallow in the rural areas' Many "stock" plan services concentrate on urban homes, and few ready-prepared designs take into account the special problems and requirements of the farm or village family'

Recognizing the existence of this fertile field, virtually untapped by the home building industry, the National Homes Foundation has performed a great service to the industry and the rural public by preparing a series of eight attractive, inexpensive home designs in which the needs oi country folk have been the first consideration. Five building materials industries, including lumber, have supported this effort by contributing perspectives of the eight basic plans, executed in their respective materials. All these have been assembled into a book just published by the Foundation.

Lumber is the first industry to publish its own conception of the eight designs, plus three variations, in a separate booklet-Double-Checked Floor Plans for Low-Cost Farm and Village Homes. Single copies may be procured free from the association's office at 1337 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C', and lumber dealers may purchase quantities for remailing at 3c per copy. Working drarvings and specifications are furnished by the National Plan Service, 1315 West Congress Street, Chicago.

Included in the booklet is a chart of the Government agencies concerned with housing, with a brief description of the type of aid each offers, where and how to obtain it.
