Under the national housing act, any responsible home owner can go to a re- sponsible local contractor and seeure’ a written estimate of the repairs or renova- tions which he wants doné, together with specifications. He can then take this writ- ten estimate to the local bank and offer his note for the amount required. If he is eon- sidered a satisfactory credit risk, and the estimate is reasonable, the note is ac- cepted and the contractor is authorized to do the work. The bank either makes the loan direct to the home owner or pays the contractor on completion of the work, as the Housing Administrator may require. The government, under the terms of the Act, insures the bank against loss up to 20 per cent of all remodelling loans made. This government insurance absolutely safe- guards the bank, as statistics show that the usual loss percentage for installment loans is less than 5 per cent. For new housing projects,.znyéné de- siring to build can borrow up to 80° per cent of the value of land anf house, up. ta $16,000. dete ating Because of the belief among business men and economists that revival of the con- struetion industries can do much to in- crease prosperity and employment, those who avail themselves of the opportunities for obtaining government credit under this Aict can have the satisfaction of feeling that they are helping to improve the economic conditions of the country as a whole. i A FORTUNE OUT OF AIR Shortly after the close of the civil war a young inventor, just past 21, endeavored to interest old Commodore Vanderbilt in a new brake for railroad trains, to be oper- ated by compressed air. After listening with impatience to the proposition, the Commodore asked whether the inventor really meant that he could stop a rushing train with nothing but air. He was answered in the affirmative. “Then get out of here,” he said, have no time to waste on fools.” The young inventor was George West- inghouse, who shortly afterward perfeeted his air brake and after many discouraze- ments succeeded in placing it on the mar- ket. To make his triumph complete, the first big order for the new Westinghouse “y air brake came from Commodore Vander- } bilt. This invention and others made West- inghouse a fortune and when he died in 1914 he was rated among the wealthy men of America, the use of his air brake hav- ing become almost universal. His early struggles were typical of those of many other young men with an idea and nothing else, but he was more fortunate than most of them. He did ulti- mately reap the rewards of, his _fenius, while many inventors, through ‘Yack of business ability, are defrauded out of theirs. THE BILLBOARDS MUST GO (Orlando Reporter-Star) In its scheme of beautification Key West has turned thumbs down upon billboards which mar the scenery along the highway traversing those enchanted isles, and in their place will be erected mile posts decorated in a fashion to advertise the Island City.
