Pegues, Territorial Director of the Federal Housing Administration. “It is the desire of the Roosevelt Administration that new residential construction be vitalized and pushed to meet the needs of the country, and at the same time accomplished on a " | sound financial basis,” Administrator McDonald said in making the an- aouncement. “The effect of this agreement is tantamount to the establishment of a national mortgage association or a mortgage discount bank for mort- |gages on new home construction. ; Speed Up Residential Building “Another effect of this agreement reached with Chairman Jesse Jones. of the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration, will be to accelerate the rate .of new residential construc- tion, . which had already acquired considerable momentum during the last five months of 1935. In fact, De- cember showed the biggest rate of residential construction during that same month since 1930. The influence that the Pederal Housing Adminis- tration has had upon the new resi- dential building can be measured by the fact that it is estimated 37 per- cent of the urban one and two fam- tily residences during the latter part |~f 1935 were constructed under the |Federal Housin g Administration |plan. “There are some 10,000 lending in- stitutions, constituting pra c tically ithe entire banking resources of the nation, qualified for operation through the Federal Housing Ad- ministration, and this enormous res- crv)ir of capital becomes readily available for residential building are available through the asrange- ment entered into between the Re- construction Finance Corporation and the Federal Housing Adminis- tration. New Capital “Now with the whole resources of ‘he RFC Mortgage Company behind {the Federal Housing Administra- tion’s insured mortgages, new capital will flow into the mortgage field in increasing volume to meet the an- ticipated upward trend in new home construction. “In view of the fact that the aver- age value of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration is about $4,000, it is obvious that.this will be a boon to those in the low income brackets who desire to buy homes for a small down payment and for monthly payments as low as rent and in some cases lower, under the long term single mortgage plan of the Federal Housing Administra- tion.” ——————— Yes, Suh!
