REA - REALTY INVENTORY URGED ONLENDERS Surveys Recommended by Federal Home Loan Bank Review. An annual inventory of real estate conditions in their own communities 1s recommended to home-financing in- stitutions in the current Federal Home Loan Bank Review, which continues a series of articles on neighborhood standards essential to safety of home mortgage lending. ‘This inventory should enumerate new subdivisions and new dwelling units by type, demolitions, vacancies, families “doubled up” and home fore- closures. It should also determine neighborhood trends of rentals and movements of population. With such information, lending institutions would be promptly aware of incipient over- building and the needs of additional building activity in the various sec- tions of the city. ‘The home financing and real estate interests of Utica, N. Y., have taken ennual inventories for the last 15 years, the Review points out, with such satisfactory results that the vacancy ratio in Utica even at the height of the depression never exceeded 5.7 per cent. The city is said to be practically the only one in New Lork State, and one of very few in the Nation, where private mortgage money was available to home owners throughout the de- pression. Stressing the importance of ade- quate transportation, the Review says: “Failure to relate residential neigh- borhoods to places of employment causes & tremendous economic waste in movement between the home and industry, and social waste in time and fatigue . . . No home-financing agency can afford to take mortgages in a neighborhood, particularly of low cost homes, without considering where the home owners work, how they can get to their work, and whether they can afford the cost of such transportation.” Permits (Continued From First Page.) of four flats in the 4800 block of | Reservoir road, to cost $32,000. The District of Columbia Developing Co. will build six homes in the 500 block of Powhatan place. This project will cost $30,000. N. M. L.

A APPROVES 1,000 MORTGAGEES Program Enables People in All Sections to Enjoy Insurance Plan. The Federal Housing Administra- tion so far has approved more than 7,000 financial institutions as mort- gagees, and Stewart McDonald, the administrator, has been advised that the facilities are sufficient to enable people in all sections of the country to enjoy the mutually insured mort- gage system created by the National Housing Act. All classes of financial institutions are in position to negotiate insured mortgages in 44 of the States. In the other four those institutions which are not prohibited by State laws from doing so, as, for example, national banks, are functioning. As soon as the opportunity offers they are expected to enact enabling legis- lation. The Mississippi Legislature is getting ready to meet. The Virginia Legislature meets in January. The Kentucky Legislature meets in the Spring. The Federal Housing Administra- tion is approving the applications of financial institutions to act as mort- gagees at the rate of from 35 to 50 a day. About 30,000 institutions throughout the country are eligible, but it is thought unlikely that more than 12,000 will qualify. This is be- cause many financial institutions are engaged entirely in commercial and similar forms of financing and are content to leave the residential mort- gage field to others. The fact remains that scarcely a community exists in which there is | not at least one financial institution | qualified to negotiate an insured mortgage. The gradual increase in the number of approved mortgagees, while not adding to the geographical operation of the national housing act, obviously will provide additional funds for home-mortgage investment. The Federal Housing Administra- tlon is daily appraising properties $200,000,000. Rain of Frogs. Grenoble, France, recently had & rain of thousands of green frog: | 510 Underwood St. N.W.

Gas filling-station owners may in- crease their business by improving the appearance of their buildings and grounds. The primary problem is the attraction of customers, which, of course, must be followed by mmg satisfactory service. An easy, spacious entrance is es- sential. The building should be sub- stantial, neat and clean. The use of landscaped treatment is an added advantage. While it is necessary that some advertising signs be used, simple, well-designed signs need not be large. Berlin Movies. Berlin now has 395 cinemas. Educational REAL ESTATE.

LOS ANGELES, October 19.—An educational program to “provide| the basis for selecting & mate” was advocated yesterday for junior high school students (12 to 14 years of age) by Dr. Gertrude Laws of the California Department of Education. She addressed 1,500 delegates of the Progressive Education ation. “This course should #mphasize the primary fundamentals of family life,” Dr. Laws said. “These are sex, money and the use of leisure time.” Unguestionably the best new-home values in Amer- ica.
