The local concerns realize the need | for better housing facilities here and | have taken steps to aid the workman and home bulder who has mnot the { necessary amount of cash to have a home of his own. They are under- taking the floating of the concern simply as a philanthropic proposition and with the estimable desire to make of New Britain a better city for all who live here. Money will be lodned on second mortgages at a five fer cent. rate. It is obvious that no fl‘ nancial returns are expected from the investment that income, nd more, is readily’ obtainable . from other sources of investment. ' The rupning expenses of the corporation will also amount to something appreciable, providing' there is a rgsponse to the desire to loan. New Britain -banks are now ready to'loan about 50 Per cent. of the value of a house and lot on first mortgages. The margin of possible lc is too ‘great for them to loan more .than that, The new corporation will take up where the banks leave off aind will loan_the remainder of the amount necessary to insure the erection of the home. The risk to the corpora- tion is great of cou but there is enough faith that values are not going to s depreciate to warrant the manu- facturers undertaking the plan I there is not great depreciation they will about break even on returns. Plan Open for All ‘The money will be obtainable amyone in the city who is in the least dependable. He will simply be loaned .if with a second mortgage as a guarantee. There will be no at- tempt to dictate where he is to choose his lot or what kind of a house he is’ to have. For those who already have lots money will be loaned with which to build if the owner wishes, May Start Big Boom. The action makes it possible that the city will see two milllon dollars worth of new .homes added within a yery short time. This is assuming that the first mortgage is taken out with aghank and the second with the rorporutmn The total amount thus available is two million dollars and there is no reason why the rentpaver of today may not become the home owner of tomorrow. The cost to h#m will be less than rent in many in- stances, even though he is paying off little each year. While the plan has not yet been put into operation it is probable that it will be very 'shortly and that the necessary sum for those who plan to build will be obtainable. We under- stand that the sentiment of the New Britain manufacturers such that | the money is already assured through them. The proposition of course, will not appeal to the investor with an eve to profits. mort- There the as the { by a ~GET 10 PER CENT RAISE Union Metallic port ‘Announces Tucrease for Tts Bridgeport, Aug. 1.
