BILL AMENDING HOUSING ACT IS SIGNED BY F.OR, 'FHA Can Now Insure Mod- ernization Loans Up to $50,000, Pegues Says (Continued 1rom Page One.) ) - Pegues of President Roosevelt’s ap- proval of the Act also stated that regulations pertaining to Title I in its new form were mailed to Ju- neau from Washington, D." C., last, night | Clarify Housing Act |* Other amendments served to clar-| ify the Housing Act and to expe- dite organization of national mort- gage associations, which are to deal in insured mortgages. “Many businesses and Baustries in Alaska which have been badly in need of funds for building ex- pansion purposes will find that Title I as amended, provides the said Mr. Pegues. As it has heretofore, money for modernization purposes will come from private financial institutions which in turn will'be insured against loss by the Federal Hous- ing Administration. Commercial loans of this type rank high as a desirable field of investment for a bank’s funds and with the insur- ance feature added, I am sure that banks already approved to make Title 1 loans will be anxious to participate in the new business which will be opened up. Ilu:iration “A striking illustration of the credit responsibility of the Ameri- can home c¥ner is revealed by the fact that out of approximately $60,- 000,000,000 in modernization loans made throughout the country, to- tal defaults are only slightly over $8,000. Thus it is clear that in its drive to accelerate the circulation of money in an essential industry, the Federal Housing Administra- | tion has had to use only an infini- tesimal amount of the money ap- cprieted for payment of insur- ance claims. It is only reasonable to expect that the percentage of loss in the augmented moderniza- jtion program will not be much, if any, higher.” R RN O VA AT HOSPITAL | Mrs. Jennie Meredith entered St. {Ann’s Hospital today for medical attention. Ed Waltonen, who un- derwent a major operation, and K. Wada, who was in the hospital for medical treatment, were both able to leave for their homes today.
