The Lady From Burke
TIVIOST North Carolina newspaper folks would
like to be citizens of Burke county when the
June primary date rolls around in order to cast
their ballots for Miss Beatrice Cobb, who has an
nounced her intention of making the race for the
state senate from the 28th district, which consists
of the counties of Burke, Caldwell and Alexander.
Miss Cobb has never before sought public office,
although she has taken an actiye interest in politics
for many years.
She has been a member of the state Democratic
, committee, and for two years has been national
committee woman from North Carolina. She- has
been editor and owner of The Morganton News
Herald, one of the most prosperous and influential
papers of the state, for many years, and since 1921
has been secretary of the North Carolina Press as
sociation. .
She has the best' wishes of the press gang
throughout the state.
A Good Time to Build Homes
I JNDER the new federal housing act, which is
now in effect, it is much easier for a family of
moderate, means to own a home than it has ever
been in times past. .
The.new act provides for low interest rates, long,
terms and small installments, and was passed to
stimulate building and relieve the housing shortage
which has become a serious problem in all parts of
the country.
The government does, not lend the money direct,
but guarantees building loans made by banks, in
surance companies and other agencies which are
looking for safe investment of reserve iunds.
A down payment of only 10 per cent is required
under this act, and the building lot will be accepted
at appraised value, on the down payment.
The authorities of the housing administration are
making a great drive to encourage applications for
loans for new construction and repairs, and it looks
as though Mr. Average Man now has an oppor
tunity to own a home of his own
Building and loan associations everywhere have
also been spurred to action by the efforts of the
government; and are offering more liberal terms to
prospective home builders. ,
.It would appear that this new housing measure
should have a particular significance in Franklin.
A summer resort town with few equals, it has
been handicapped for years because of lack of facil
ities for the housing of those who wish to spend
the hot weather in this secton.
And, again, Franklin is headquarters for the Nan
tahala forest personnel, and these men and their
families are of the highest type and are accustomed
to modern accommodations. They are liable to be
transferred at any time, and are, therefore, unable
to build homes of their own. They are willing and
able to pay for those things which are considered
in many places as mere commonplace conveniences.
But frequently they cannot get them here, and are
compelled to put up with anything that happens to
be available.
Small, modern cottages of from three to six
rooms, can be built now at a cost which will enable
the individual or company building them to realize
a splendid return on the investment, besides carry
ing the installments under the new housing legisla
tion. At least 50 of these cottages could be rented in
Franklin most of them to desirable tenants the
year round and all of them at good prices during
the summer season.
At the present time no agency has been an
nounced in Macon county where the federal hous
ing loans may be secured; but there are a number
of banks and insurances agencies in Asheville, which
cover Western North Carolina, and have been ad
vertising for applications.
It is a good time to build either for a home or
for an investment.
