Federol Housing Ghief Golls Ouflook Bright

"Business in the housing industry is excellent-rve're running SOVI ahead of a year ago in the country as a whole in FHA insurance," Federal Housing Administration

Commissioner Norman P. Mason told a May 23 meeting of representatives of the building industry, affrliated trades, financial interests and county and city officials in the Statler Flilton hotel, Los Angeles. "We've been running almost double the amount of business we normally do in the first four months of this year," he added.

Mason, a former retail lumberman and past president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn., also said that any interruption in the flow of FHA insurance nolv would be "tragic," when he reported that the llouse Banking and Currency committee was threatening to whittle dor,vn to $1 billion the $20 billion requested by FHA over tl-re next five years.

'Ihe 400 at the meeting included people from the L. A. Realty Board, Building Contractors Assn., llome Builders Assn, of Los Angeles, Orange and -'Ventura Counties, Mortgage Bankers Assn., California Savings and Loan League, etc. The meeting lvas under the auspices of the L. A. Chamber of Commerce.

Commissioner Mason complimented the activity he saw in Southern California and said he foresaw no recession in the housing industry, which he said is "doing a swell job all over the country in leading us out of the recession." He said the increase in applications in the Los Angeles FHA office was at a rate of between 1391o and 140% in 1958's frrst third.

He believed the government would pass a $1 billion authorization now as an emergency measure pending more thorough investigation and said $1J00,000,000 is nleded by the FHA to last till the end of June.

Mason predicted at least 1,110,000 new housing starts this year, compared to just under 1.000.000 in 1957.
