Private home construction, in spite of war time restrictions still in effect, is beginning to show an increase, Commissioner Raymond M. Foley of the Federal Housing Administration reported September 1'

Applications lor i.rsured financing on new homes to be constructed under the provisions of Title II of the FHA program averaged more than 1,000 a week during the three month period from May through July.

In July the FHA field offices received applications from private financial institutions to insure mortgages to finance ihe construction of 5,035 new homes of which 4,224 wete to be built under the peace time provisions of Title II'

During the same month in 1944, applications for FHA mortgage insurance totalled 2,792, of. which all but 129 were to be built under the wartime provisions of Title VI'
