FAIL TO APPEAL
Two-Third« Of Farm Folk Of
Oregon Not Interested In
Improvement Loans
Two-thlrds of the 6700 farm fami­
lies interviewed during the rural
housing survey Just completed by
the home economic, division of the
Oregon State college extension ser­
vice for the federal civil work* ad­
ministration. said they would not
be interested In borrowing money
for needed repairs and replace­
ments. in their homes, even at
favorable interest rates, while the
other third Indicated that they
would borrow as average of $619
each if it were available. iKtggeeted
interest rates averaged about 4 per
rent.
About 10 per cent of the farm
families visited during the survey-
plan to build new farm houses in
the next three years, however, and
if they carry out their present in­
tentions these houses will average
about five rooms and will cost an
average of $1426. Only 409 fami­
lies have spent as much as $500 on
repairs or improvements in the past
three years, it was found, and only
1014 have spent as murh as $100
for this purpose In that time.
W a te r Systems W anted
The survey was made by means
of personal visitations by hired
workers, and covered a large part
of Clackamas county, and repres­
entatives portions of Jackson and
Josephine counties in southern Ore­
gon and of Deschutes. Crook. Gil­
liam and Sherman counties in the
irrigated and wheat sections east
of the Cascades.
Three Oregon farm families were
found to be living in earth houses,
and seven in concrete. Of the other
dwellings visited. 69 were of logs.
16 brick. 13 stone. 33 stucco, and
1646 were painted frame houses
and 3917 unpainted frame houses.
Nearly two-thlrds of the houses sur­
veyed are more than 10 years old.
almost a third are more than 25
years old. and 287 are more than
half a century old. All but 10 of the
families visited were white.
When asked what repairs or im­
provements they would make with
$500 if they had it for the purpose.
3067 homeowners said a water sys­
tem would come first. With $260
to spend water systems were still
first In favor, and 1333 said they
would try to improve their water
systems If only $100 were avail
able. The survey shows that nearly
half of the houses visited now must
have water hauled or carried to
them an average distance of more
than 200 feet.
On the list of needed repairs and
alterations. Interior walls and ceil­
ings came first, and floors were
next with 1712 needing repairs, fol­
lowed in order by roofs, founda­
tions, exterior walls, doors and win­
dows. and paint. More than half of
the houses needed paint, and 2261
needed screens. More room was an
almost universal need. Only 2403
of the homes now have bathrooms.
