Added stimulus to the modemiza- I
i tion program of the Federal Housing
" Administration, now being carried
forward by more than 3,000 better
hbus in g campaign committees
throughout the United States, is giv
en by the country’s large insurance
cdknpanies. These institutions are
circularizing hundreds of thousands
! of property owners whose mortgages
they hold, calling attention to the I
urgent need for immediate moderni
zation of their properties.
Insurance companies are among
the largest holders of mortgages in
America and thus come directly in
contact with probably the greatest
number of property owners. Several
companies have more than a billion
dollars face value of mortgages each,
with considerably more than 100,000
mortgagors on their books.
One company has gone even fur
ther to emphasize its belief that
modernization is vitally important to
the property owner. It has agreed to
adjust amortization on it 3 mortgages
in order to permit the property own
er to carry more easily the charges
of the modernization loans. Its rep
resentatives also are instructed in
the modernization credit plan in or
der to be able to advise the property
owners how to go about getting such
loans.
Campaigns, Loans Increase
In the meantime, both the number
of better housing campaigns and the
volume of modernization loans con'
tinue to gain in all sections of the
country. Latest reports show the
following figures:
Community committees 4,132
■ Campaigns in progress 2,966
Approved banks 11,226
Number of loans 49,800
Volume of loans $20,992,571
Average loan 422
Actual modernization work de
veloped by these campaigns is esti
mated at around $100,000,000 —at
least five times the amount of the
loans. The proportion of cash pay
ments to loans for modernization
work varies in different communities
from three to one all the way up to
16 to 1.
Modernization surveys for the pur
pose of discovering needs for repair,
alteration and improvement of prop
erty have been slowed up or actually
checked in many communities where
the surveys were being made by un
employed members of the building
trades. So many of the canvassers
went to work that the surveys were
brought to a halt or relief workers
were substituted.
In Caroline County, Md., for in
stance, not a single mechanic was
left on the relief rolls, while the
percentage of building trades employ
ment in Baltimore, Md., was estimat
ed at 300 per cent above last year.
Not Enough Contractors
Loans have been slowed up delib
erately by the banks of Raleigh,
N. C., because contractors reported
that al* competent carpenters and
ainters are employed, with enough
vork in prospect to keep them busy
for many weeks.
An increasing number of cities
have announced they will not increase
tax assessments on property modern
ized under the better housing pro
gram of the Federal Housing Admin
istration, 22 being in New Hampshire
alone.

Harry L. Zobel, John F. Lane and
Everett Gilliam, of New York, are
the guests of Walter Hughes, hunting
quail, turkey and deer.
John F. Lane, last Saturday, sat in
6 turkey blind for three and a half
hours, and nearly froze stiff. At last
a turkey came out within 25 yards of
the blind. He took a dead drag at
him and shot over the turkey's head
two feet The turkey went on his
way forever.
Harry L. Zobel has a bird puppy
seventeen months old, and Walter

came from the kennels in New -York,
and Hughes’ puppy came from t£*
kennels in Tennessee. Hughes wfis
put these pupa against any pair of
old doga in the State, as to finding
birds and being broken. They are
fast on covey, hold their point, don’t
break shot, hunt close in on singles,
first class retrievers, don’t mash the
birds, have good nose, back stand,
first class trailers, they wind and
trail, and stop anywhere at com
mand. It’s equal to Robinson’S cir
