Nat. 6199 -y to bring thousands of our citizens to HOME FINANCING DRIVE LAUNCHED iNation-Wide Campaign Started to Unify Building and Loan Groups. Is . CHICAGO, July 8—A nation-wide drive to bring thousands of building {and loan associations into a unified { program to assure the success of the Roosevelt home financing plans got under way here today. The United States Building and Loan League, national trade association of these 11,442 local home-financing units, has appointed sofie 200 key men in as many localities to present the program and enlist the support of associations not hitherto individually affiliated with the central organization, according to Ward B. Whitlock of Springfield, Ill., president of the league. The drive will be conducted along the lines of competitive teams working toward the same goal. Philip Lieber of Shreveport, La., who Is vice presi- {dent of the league, will captain one | team and Clarence T. Rice of Kansas | City, Kans,, chairman of the advertis- ing and business development division of the league, will head the other. | When the league holds its forty-first jannual convention in Chicago Septem- ber 13, 14 and 15, awards will be made to the individuals among the key men | who succeed in bringing the largest number of building and loan units into the organization. “Leaders in the building and loan business see that the ambitious home- financing program now being under- taken by the administration can be successful only if unprecedented unity |of purpose exists among the associa- tions which are given the job of car- ng out that program.” said Mr. itlock. “Some old-fashioned evan- gelizing on the part of the associations |a new realization of the virtues of thrift must be undertaken and all as- sociations must work together in this revival spirit “Then when we have brought the in streams to our doors the 'y will be flowing in with which we can adequately meet the needs of the community for long-time, install- ment payment home mortgage loans. “We want unified action among the associations in the extensive use of Federal Home Loan Bank funds, a sec- lond part of the program which the administration is determined to push. 1 Our associations must make common cause in their co-operation with that portion of the mortgage program pro- viding relief to home borrowers in dis- ress. “Associations have been attempting to do many of these things in their jown individual way, but today it is evident that the best results can be obtained only if there is some measure of regimentation. Co-operation is the financial fundamental on which these home-financing institutions are or- ganized, co-operation between borrow- ers and savers. Therefore their nat- ural fitness in the new co-cperative scheme of things gives this campaign a wlus which is definitely encour- 1 Occupancy Permits ‘The following permits to occupy premises were issued during the last week by Col.

REALTY STABILITY SEEN BY MILLER Dependability of Investment Cited by President of Realty Body. Commenting on a widespread im- provement, both locally and nationally, | in the real estate situation, Willlam C. Miller, president of the National Asso- clation of Real Estate Boards and memboer of the realtor firm of W. C. & A. N. Miller, declares that “out of the tragedy of the depression has come a realization of the stability and depend- ability of investment in real estate.” “Not only is there increased buying of real estate,” the realtor said today. “but there is also a demand for com- petent service in appraisals, renting, making of surveys, renovizing, mort- afiges, insurance and other consulta- on “The fundamental security of in- vestments, and the mortgages on prop- erly appraised real estate has been dem- onstrated so forcefully that investors are again seeking the opportunity to put their money in this form of security. Reports from various parts of the coun- try show that prices are tending to, stiffen, rentals have ceased to decline and mortgage money is becoming more available than has been the case for the past several months.” Real estate, in the opinion of Mr. Miller, has demonstrated its soundness | all through the economic crisis. In- vestors who sacrificed holdings in waves of hysterical selling are now returning to_reacquire them, he says. The past 10 weeks in Washington has witnessed great improvement in build- ing and real estate activity generally, according to Miller. HOME EXHIBITION DRAWS THRONG Many Novel Suggestions for New Construction Carried Out at Chicago. Fair. CHICAGO. July 8.—What probably is the largest exhibit of modern home construction, furnishings, equipment and building materials ever assembled awaits prospective home owners who vx‘s“ the Century of Progress Exposi- iion With the public again showing signs of interest in home building and re- modeling, the building industry is offer- ing much to whip this spark of interest into high flame. Marked interest is being shown in the model homes and the “houses and homes of tomorrow.” of which there are a score or more. Fifty thousand visitors viewed one of these homes during the first seven days of the World’s Fair. NEW PLAN URGED INCITY BUILDING Declares American Munici- palities Obsolete. . American cities are obsolete, accord- ing to Clarence S. Stein of the New York Chapter of the American Insti- tute of Architects, who urges that Fed- eral expenditures to relieve unemploy- ment should not be used “in a futile attempt to revise a bankrupt past.” but rather to build a solid foundation for the future. , Declaring that the houses and cities of the past will not do, Mr. Stein, former chairman of the New York Com- | mission of Housing and Regional Plan- ing, asserts the need for a new tech- nique of city building, in which indi- vidualistic haphazard methods are dis- carded. “The framework of the city plan and every detail down to the last house and the view out of the windows of that house should be conceived of as a re- lated and inseparable wholescme and beautiful background for living and working,” he explains. “Ideally, these should be a single operation from raw land to complete neighborhood community. ~ All the waste of land—subdivision, sale of lots, individual construction of separate dwellings should be replaced by a single large-scale operation.” “The bankruptcy that is faced by our larger cities is not so much the result of municipal corruption as of the double load of supporting the unremunerative slums and blighted districts in the | heart of our cities and the vast ex- pansion of highways, public wtilities |and subways that was necessitated by extravagant municipal growth to serve | unrestricted real estate development.” | Mr. Stein says in a statement made | public by the institute. | “Blighted neighborhoods that exist in every large city throughout the | country are the result of an antiquated | individualistic method of planning, | building, land ownership, and com- | munity disorganization. | “In Detroit, the 17 square miles that | form the central core of the city are all blighted with the exception of a few small groups of modern buildings. In Cleveland. the Housing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the city | hes found 22 of the 71 square miles of | the city both unfit places for human |living and unremunerative as property. | “The Lower East Side of New York lost 53 per cent of its population be- tween 1910 and 1930. In Philadelphia, the population has been drained out of ! a constantly increasing central area.” U. P.

Costs rguge from $3,500 to $25,000. Most of the homes follow modern lines, but it is obvious that the first concern of the architect was to make these dwellings livable. All of them are designed for the utmost in comfort and convenience. BALTIMORE'S MAYOR OPPOSES RE-ROLL STEEL Ordinance Against Use in Concrete Reinforcements Fought by Realty Interests. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 8—Heeding the advice of bullding experts who declared the measure would lower building stand- ards to an unsafe point, Mayor Jackson has announced he intends to veto the ordinance allowing the use of re-rolled steel in concrete reinforcements. ‘The ordinance was passed by the City Council over the protests of the Balti- more Building Congress and architects, engineers and construction men, who said it would lower the standards to an unsafe point. o The ordinance was fought before the City Council by the Real Estate Board, and following its passage a protest was filed with the mayor.

CONTINUED DECLINE IN TAX BASIS SEEN Baltimore Views 1934 Outlook With Seriousness, So Far as Realty Is Concerned. ! Speclal Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 8—The taxable basis of Baltimore city, so far as as- sessments on real estate are concerned, will, in all probability, continue to show a decline when the figures for 1934 are made up next October, it is forecast at the city hall. | On the other hand, that portion of the basis—something less than half— which is comprised by stocks and bonds is very likely to show an increase for next year, owing to the marked rise in security prices. A drop of any specified amount say $1000.000—in the real estate as- sessments is a far more serious matter from the standpoint of municipal reve- nue than a drop of the same amount in security assessments. Real estate Is taxed at the full city rate or, in the case of property in the outlying sec- tions, at very large fractional rates. The full city rate for the current year. for example, is $2.65. But the rate on security assessments is fixed. being 30 Toda)l on All programs scheduled jor Eastern Stondard Time and are subject to ‘thange without notice. 315.6 Meters.

Thus, & decline of $1,000,000 in real estate assessments (assuming all the property¥in question to be subject to the full city rate) would mean a reve- nue loss of $26,500. while a decline of $1,000,000 in security assessments would mean a revenue loss to the city of only $3,000. | DAMP CELLAR BAD Often Harmful to House as Well| as for Occupants. A damp cellar is bad for a house as well as for its occupants. If there is a | definite source of running water com- ing into a cellar at certain times, it can be carried by a drain under the cellar floor to a hole where an auto- matic electric pump can be installed, to| into a drain to a dry well Wwhenever the water rises to a certain height in the hole or sump. If the cellar walls are damp, the re- pair of gutters and conductors and their proper drainage to dry wells may cor- rect the cause.

CHICAGO, July 8.—Scientific devel- opments which make for more con- venient. ccmfortable and healthful liv- ing will play a tremendous part in increasing public desiré for home own- ership. These developments also will bring into being nt new industries. cmploying tens of thousands of men and contributing to a new era of prosperity. This belief is expressed by J. Soule Warterfield Chicago, chairman of the newly launched National Association | for Better Housing, made up of repre- | sentatives of industries manufacturing | home equipment, the building trades and allied fields. The new association was created at the annual convention | of the National Association of Real Estate Boards here. Mr. Warterfield expressed the opinion that the groundwork for a new indus- try, rivaling the automobile business in scope, has been solidly laid. He oeinted out that the selling job of the building trades divides itself into two | parts. First, he said, they must create the desire to modernize present homes and build up incentive for new home ownership, thereby removing present facilities from cognpetition with the new. | "Any equipment which winl bring | added comforts at low cost will com- | plete the job of creating desire and incentive to continue home ownership.
