H. Seidenspinner, Riverdale reaitor and president of the Shepherd & Gilbert Co., owners of the nearby Maryland development. The new homes range in size from 8ix to eight rooms and are of the sub- | stantial brick or stucco types which | characterize the 33 homes already built in this growing subdivision, Seidenspinner states. As has been the case with the present homes, the new homes are being built to meet the needs of families of the faculty of the University of Maryland nearby and the scientists stationed at the United | Btates Agricultural Experimental Farm, a few miles distant, since a |the lot, producing an attractive gar- | majority of College Heights home | owners are connected with one of these two establishments.

The directors also heard Donald H. McNeal, deputy to the general man- ager of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp., in charge of property reconditioning and appraisal for the corporation.

New urban home construction and building credit are far from being | overexpanded, Horace Russell, general | counsel of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, declared in an address this week before the Board of Direc- tors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Assoclation in the Raleigh Hotel. The total credit made available for that purpose in 1936, Mr. Russell said, was about one-half of normal and the amount made available for new con- struction about one-third of normal. The best estimates indicate, he said, that in 1936 less than $2,000,000,000 of credit was made available for home financing. About one-third of that was for new construction, one-third for refinancing and one-third for other purposes. “A few people are becoming ex- cited,” said Mr. Russell, fearing that too much credit is being made avail- | able and that too much building is | going on, but it is difficult to get ADVANCE SHOWING of 6 New Detached Homes Exhibit Home 61193rd St.N.W.
