days.

ORGANIZATION TO GIVE
ARCHITECTURAL
ADVICE
REACHES HER GOAL FOR YEAR
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Lend-
ing agencies and architects to-
day were responding to an invi-
tation from the government to
give the small home seeker a
“break” — to see that the mil-
lions in his pocket will be spent
to yield him the largest possible
return.
With the formal announce-
ment of the new federal home
building service plan by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
last week, organizations swung
into action throughout the coun-
try.
Plan Proposed
The plan is designed to give
architectural advice and super-
vision on homes costing $7500
and less, heretofore rarely util-
ized, to prevent shoddy construc-
tion and its inherent loss of
property value. It was develop-
ed by the bank board after the
operations of the Home Owners’
Loan Corporation revealed the
full extent of the use of improp-
er materials and flimsy work-
manship in the small home field.
Protection Offered
The plan has been tested for
almost two years, through the
home loan banks and their lead-
ing member institutions. In Bos-
ton, Indianapolis, Minneapolis,
Memphis and Little Rock, lend-
ing institutions and architects
Mrs. C. E. Elliott, homo im-
provement and pantry demon-
strator of the North" Roscoe
Home Demonstration Club, has
carried on an extension program
for the year and completed her
goal recently.
