New Construction
Financed By Bldg. and Loan Associations
»
Practically half of the contracts tor new residential building awarded A November were financed by con¬ struction loans from Ijuildin'j; and loan associations. The United Stales Building and Loan League shows that the associations made an, esti¬ mated $9,246,000 of construction loans duruig this last montli re¬ ported for, and that the Djdje fig¬ ures for contracts aw.irded the s.iiu.' month are $19,ir,>4,700. For the tlnee fall months tlie con- slruction lo.ms of t.iese local liirilt andhonv financing Institiitioiib wero 40 p:'r Ci'nt of total new resid.'nlial conu-acls awarded. Thus the asso- jaUous continuid througlioui the period to finance more construction than aii> other source of liome loans, and countinK the houses buUt without resources to loans, more than all the rest of the financing sources put together, Harold T Donaldson, Lansing, Michigan, vice president of the League, pointed out.
The report by the League also contained estimates ba.sed on sam¬ ples gathered from every state In the Union as to the amount of home ^%iodernlzation and repair loans made by the associations and th?ir expMiditures for remodeling pro¬ perties they now own. Together with the construction loans they constitute Job-making disbursals by the association, Mr. Donaldson says. Tl\e Novemb;>r statistics Just report¬ ed to day bring the total Job-maliing funds disbursed by the associations In the fall months to $65,000,000 of which $23,650,000 \va> in November. Half of the states roporied gains in November as comp.ired with Oct¬ ober with regard to modernization. repair and eonstructon funds dis¬ bursed.
¦'The modernization and repair loans made by the associations were $9,548,000 during the month, compar. ed with $10,418,000 in October and $7,579,000 in Septemb-'r, thu.s show¬ ing the continued elTect of the FHA home modernization campaign up¬ on the demand for loans of this type." Donald.son s:iid, "Asso:ia- tlon exp'?nditures on their own pro- V)'rtios continued to be substanilal. Tfilh the November repairs listed at $4,853,000. cotnparrd with $6,201,000 in Octobor. Th? crop in both toia'.s as fall proare.-.^rd is undoubtedly accounted for by the unsoa.sonabl:'- ne.ss of some tv\>\s of outside re¬ pairs, popular earlier in the fall, a- tlie cold weitl-.rr b'cam,- prevalent In .some parUs of  the country.
"The.se fitjuros reveal that the home modernization campaign., since it started on September 1, has been furthered to the est'nt of $38,600,000 by tl^- cxpjnditur.-s and lending operation* of the building and loan asrociations. This amount is practically exclusive of the in¬ sured modernization loan total re¬ ported by tlie Fed nal Housing Ad¬ ministration since most of ih ¦ building and loan association credit has been extended without any in¬ surance of even a portion of th- risk by any factor other thm th' character of the borrower and the nature of his prop'rty The rea.son for this mav be found in the fre¬ quent desirabilitv of the longer term loan  wiiicli  the  buildhig  i'lil

USE NEW SYSTEM TO TELL YEAR OF AUTO TITLE ISSUE
Another element of protection has been added to the extensive s.ife- guards which the Pennsylvania title law throws about motor vehi¬ cles owned by residents of ilie State.
By ih" addition of anollier figur? th' Bureau of Motor Vehicl'S njw shows on each pas.senger car certi¬ ficate tli<. year during which the vehicle covered was first titled.
With tliis data included in th? title records, purchasers of second- liand cars are protected against un¬ scrupulous persons who attempt to sell old vehicles as later modeU.
The additional dale, carried on all certificates Issued since Decem¬ ber 15, last does not indicate the year tlie vehicle was manufactured It does, however, show the year during which it was titled—or put in use—In I'ennsylvanla or any other state having a title law.
Altliough It is an Integral part of the title records only, the date appears also on the registration or ownier's cards becau.se the same plates are used in printing tlie In¬ formation on the title certificates and registration cards. Some owners, who noted the data on their cards and did not see the explanatory paragraph on the title certificate, have mistakenly assumed that the date is intended to show the year model of the car.

farm croos produced In I'ennsyl- vania during 1934 shows a seventy j>er cent gaui over the record law total of 1932. according to the Statfl Department of Agriculture. Sub- .stantially higher prices received by farmers were primarily responsible for this continued advance in ag¬ gregate value. The estimates for tlie p.ist three years are : 1934, $142000.000; 1933, $18,000,000: and 1932. $84000.00"-)
