In other words, they may go forward with confidence the virtually all the financing fa- cilities available to them in the past} year will still be at their disposal. | As the Senate Banking and Cur- rency Committee pointed out in its | repoort recommending passage 01! the amended Act: “Such continu- ance directly concerns the orderly progress of recovery and employ- ment and the opportunity of Amer-| ica nfamilies to obtain better living standards.” Principal features of the amend- | ed "Act are: | 1. Authorization for the Presi-| dent t oincrease to $4,000,000,000 the amount of outstanding mortgage in- | surance obligations the FHA may have at one time. The present lim- itation is $3,000,000,000, and the out- standing principal obligation at this time is approximately $1,400,000,000 not including approximately $400.- | 000,000 in outsanding commitments to insure. 2. Continuation of the FHA's au- thority to insure mortgages on ex- isting construction until July 1, 1941 Homes financed with FHA-insured mortgages will continue to be elig-| ible for FHA refinancing indefin-| itely. Y 3. Requirement that in the re- financing of mortgages the appli- cant for insurance must file a cer- tificate that the mortgage holder has refused to grant him equally favorable terms. 4. ' Extension indefinitely of the authority of the FHA to insure, mortgage on small homes involv- ing mortgages of not more than 185,400 for terms up to 25 years. Un- ‘der the old bill the maximum ma- turity of 25 years reverted to 20 | years, as of July 1st. 5. Authorization to continue in- surance of lending institutions against loss on property improve- ! ment loans up to $2,500 each with a new provision empowering the Administrator to charge an insur- ance premium not in excess of three-fourths of one percent to off-| set a portio nof operating expenses and losses. 6. Establishment of a prevailnig cale t obe determined by the Secretary of Labor on large- cale | projects (Section 207) Pt S 7. Revision of the conditions un-| der which insurance may be grant- | ed on mortgages covering large- scale projects. 8. Repeal of Section 210 under which the Administrator was au- thorized to insure mortgages under special conditions in the price range up to $200,000. e — A homing pigeon that will travel | long distances at night is worth sev- eral hundred dollars as a breeder. | Almost a Princess .., Senorita Sofia Alyarez Almost, but not quite, a princess, Senorita Sofia Alvarez, Mexican stage actress, has plenty to say about the deceit of men, and princes in particular, as she ar- Miss Alverez won the heart of Prince Duermdan of Bombay.
