Money May Be Secured in Addition
to Loans for Refinancing

These loans are in addition to the
loans made home owners for refi
nancing their mortgages. Many peo
ple are under the impression that if
they already have a Home Owners'
loan they cannot borrow money
from the Government to fix up or
remodel the interior and exterior of
their homes. This is not the case,
as those who have already borrowed
from the Home Owners’ Loan Cor
poration are entitled to the recon
ditioning the same as those who are
now making application to have
their mortgages taken over by the
Corporation. Again, those who own
their homes clear of mortgage but
who are unable to obtain recondi
tioning loans from private lending
agencies are entitled to the benefits
f this department.
Three distinct operations have
been earmarked by the government.
Repair and maintenance is first. In
cluding all work designated to re
store a house to Its condition when
new, such as painting, pointing of
masonry, calking of doors and win
dow frames, roofing, replacement of
gutters, down-spouts, floors, plumb
ing, etc.
Remodeling Is next in order, in
volving structural changes, such as
bath-
enlargement, addition of
room, a porch, window, rearrange
ment of rooms, ór any other altera-
tion an the design.
Modernizing, the third operation,
involves installation of new equip-
ment, such as insulation, heating
plant, electric system or running
water.
Those who wish to repair or make
their homes more livable and attrac
tive should make immediate appli
