THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1935 Building Construction Spurred on by Favorable Weather PERMITS FOR TWO DWELLINGS, GARAGE | ISSUED LAST WEEK Digging of Baement for New) Model Home Is Completed, | Sub-Contracts Are Let | Building construction in Bismarck went rapidly ahead during the past week, spurred on by excellent weather conditions. Three new permits for two dwel- lings and a private garage were issued from: the office of the city auditor Guring the last week. Digging of the basement was com- pleted at the new model home being constructed by Robert Aune at 903 Ninth St., and the concrete footings were set. Laying of the tile in the basement will. be done this week, Aune said. Sub-contracts on the model home construction were let to the Forsythe Plumbing Shop, plumbing; R, E. Car- lander, brick work; Harding Metal Works, metal work and the North Dakota Power and Light Co., heating. Only one bid was received for the construction of the new mailing vesti- bule at the post cffice and that was sent to Washington for approval. Work will be started on the federal building addition and other repair work called for in the contract soon after the bid is approved in Washing- ton, Walter A. Sather, postmaster, said Monday. B. A. Yaeger took out a permit for the construction of a new dwelling at 1006 Ninth St. The cost of the new building has been estimated at $4,000. REGULATIONS UNDER $50,000 FHA CREDIT PLAN MADE PUBLIC Extension of Limit for Industry Expected to Stimulate Wider Activity Washington, D. C., June 24.—New regulations governing the adminis- tration of the modernization credit plan of the federal housing admini: tration have been announced by Act- ing Administrator Stewart McDonald following the extension of the amount insurable under the plan from $2,000 to $50,000. ‘These revised regulations have been forwarded to all federal housing headquarters and all approved finan- clal institutions and are expected to open a new market for building ma- terials, machinery and equipment which should be of direct benefit to practically all industry and, indirect- ly, to the nation as a whole. Under the amended act, the regu- lations governing modernization credit for improvement of individual homes, farm properties, churches, clubs, pub- lc buildings, and similar properties remain substantially the same. The maximum limit for each such prop- erty is fixed under provisions of the act at $2,000. This type of credit is being handled as a separate class and is being extended for the purpose of making additions, alterations, repairs, and improvements of real property, including also such new construction @s garages and certain other similar structures. Classify Credits The class of modernization credit made possible by the $50,000 amend- adapted to the business conducted therein or necessary to the operation thereof.” All charges, including interest, fot both types of modernization credit are to be determined by the finan- cial institution and the applicant for credit, the rates to be as low as is consistent with the character of business in the particular territory in which the loan is negotiated. Un- der no circumstances can the inter- jest, together with all other charges combined, exceed the equivalent of $5 discount per $100 original face amount of a 1-year note to be paid in equal monthly instaliments. Determine Risk Determination of the credit risk ine volved is left largely to the discre- tion of the financial institution ad- vancing the funds, it was stated. This was substantially true under the old regulations. “The amendments to the National Housing Act covering the extension of modernization credit for improve- ment, conversion, or equipment of commercial properties are of direct interest and benefit to everyone pro- ducing goods or services requiring buildings or permanent equipment,” Mr. McDonald stated. ‘They are of particular interest to all those who manufacture or deal in machinery. “Under the amended act, the mod- ernization market has been increased 80 as to include practically every user of permanently installed machinery or equipment, as well as every prop- erty owner. “Revised regulations have been sent to all the approved banks and other financial institutions, all better-hous- ing committees, and all the offices of the federal housing administration. Detailed information may be obtained at any of these places by those who can use modernization credit for im- provement or better equipment of Saucepans Used as ‘Waterless’ Cookers Ordinary saucepans with covers, of which there usually is an ample sup- ply in every ‘itchen, serve as “water- less” cookers in this modern era of electric cookery, according to Walter G. Renden of the North Dakota Pow- er and Light Co., here. The accurately-measured heat of the surface unit on a modern electric range gives such constant and un- vatying temperature that vegetables may be cooked, practially, in the! own moisture, When cooking vegetables on the ‘Surface unit. of a modern electric Tange, use only enough water to start off or thrown away; note also that the cooking process is accomplished without constant watching. This method cf cooking vegetables tetains the nourishing mineral salts and food value, along with the succu- lent flavor. Summer Roosting - Sheds Are Popular The use of iight Summer roosting sheds by chicken breeders is steadily increasing. While the advantages of these sheds are obvious, it is not advisable to use an extremely light one unless there is adequate insula- tion to guard egainst the hot mid- day sun, as well as against the oc- the steam. Here is the procedure as outlined by Renden. Take beets, for example. Pare and dice, or slice fresh beets. Place in a small covered pan. Add 1% cups of cold water. Place on electric surface unit and turn switch to high heat for ten minutes, then switch to low heat for ten minutes, then off for 10 or 15 minutes. ‘The result will be a full-flavored, Does not last—unless it has a FIRM FOUNDATION.

Housing Question Box | Q—What are the natural colors used in coloring walks? A.—Natural earth colors are color compounds which are found as de- posits in the earth and utilized as pigments. Sometimes they are treat- ed to bring out or intensify the colors. Natural iron oxide, mineral browns, ochres, siennas, umbers, mineral black, and a few allied substances are the pigments used. The so-called “oxides” give colors ranging from a warm brown to a brilliant scarlet. J. 8. FEVOLD Carl Bertsch will be the builder. Floyd Fuller will construct a pri- vate garage at 813 Thirteenth St., at @ cost of approximately $300. I, Tolchinsky plans to construct a frame stucco house at 222 Avenue C ‘west at a cost of $4,800. Carl Bertsch has the building contract. Attic Space Provides Extra Guest Rooms Vacation visits usualy are recipro- cal. The average family visits friends snd relatives who generally return the visits. The result is that practi- cally all homes find need for one or more guest rooms which will be avail- able without changing the sleeping quarters of the children and making the family uncomfortable. Many homes have space in the at- tic which can easily be made into 1 or 2 guest rooms. Often a bathroom can be added. It is comparatively simple and inexpensive to cover the attic joists and rafters and install one or more partitions. An attic room can be used by the children as ® playroom when not in use, or it can. ment also is being handled sepa- rately. This type of credit is ex- tended for additions, alterations, re- pairs, and improvement for “real property improved by or to be con- verted into. apartment or multiple- family houses, hotels, office, business, or other commercial buildings, hos- pitals, orphanages, colleges, schools, or manufacturing or industrial plants.” The maximum limit for each property is $50,000. Purchase and installation of ma- chinery and equipment in the types of property mentioned in the preced- ing paragraph are eligible for mod- ernization credit under the new reg- ulations, provided they are “pecullarly EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER .. when cooked electrically nature; making such surfaces uniform and overcoming the cause in nearly all cases of peel- ing, checking or cracking.
