Small Home Owner to Receive Help at Last The following quotation from the current issue of "Business Week" Is the clearest explanation of the Home Loan act in a few words as we have read: "Real Mortgage Relief If the small home owner can't per suade hl mortage holder to let the government save him, Washington will now lend htm money to save himself. The Home Loan Act, nov In effect, Is a genuine attempt to help the lit tle fellow. It la the second effort to tackle the depression troubles of the homeowner. Its the forerunner, the federal Home Loan Bank program, could be of service -only in discount ing first mortgages through a newly established system of home loan banks or through an existing system of building and loin associations. The difficulty It left wss that many a small home-owner la burdened not merely by a first mortgage too big to be discounted, but by a second, and sometimes by mounting arrears of interest and taxes. The new law help him out of this kind of a jam. If he has a home appraised at not more than 920,000, loaded with a mortgage and Interest debt of not more than 80 per cent of that value, he can or can try to persuade his mortgage holder to exchange the mortgage for 4 per cent government bonds, through a new kind of gov ernment bank called the Home Owners'- Loan Corp.. with brandies all over' the country. If the mortgage KMED Broadcast Schedule holder accepts the proposal the mort gagor will then give the government a fi per cent mortgage running for 15 years. If the mortgagee refuses to make the swap for the bonds and the home owner la unable to raise funds else where to save his home, the Home Loan Bank will make another move to help him. It will lend him the cash. But. in this case, the loan will not exceed 40 per cent of the ap-, praised value of the property and the Interest rate will be 6 per cent. How ever, thia loan also will be spread over 16 years. If a home-owner desires money only to pay his taxes and his home is free of mortgage, the Home Owners' Loan Corp. will lend him up to 40 per cent of the value of his property. Even home-owners who have lost their homes through foreclosure may regain them by applying for help under the law. And If any of the borrowers are unable to pay their installments the government will grant a 3-year mora torium. Borrowers to be eligible to the serr- icee of the Home Owners' Loan Corp. must live in their own homes, with not more than 3 other families: the mortgage on it must have been In ex istence before the bill became a law; the holder of the mortgage must be pressing for payment; and the appli cant must show that he needs help in order to save his home." Southern Bldg. As Loan Association, By Hamilton Patton, Secretary. I TO NEW LEVELS CHICAGO. June 34 (AP) Increas ing by leaps and bounds, speculation for higher prices whirled all grains widely upward today, outdoing top records unequated since 1930. Wheat sped skyward 3i cents, and crossed to well above 00 cents a bushel for May contracts, which be ginning on Monday will be added formally to the list of quoted active deliveries. Buying of Wheat and other grains was on the largest scale witnessed' in years, a result mainly of reported widespread irreparable crop damage and further severe losses ex pected because of extraordinary drought and heat. An excited close left wheat 3 cents to a1! cent abore yesterday's finish, corn 11 up, oats advanced. Today's closing quotations: . Wheat July 82;-H. Sept. 84V4-85. Dec. 87-88.
