W. P. ciyee of the firm of Clyce *
Rioter -well known a rehiteels of this
city, believes that In the'organisation
of s homc-buihliug finance corporation
in Sherman, which has been dlacusaed
on neterhl o<\*aslons. u plsn which has
heed, adopted In I^etrolt. Mich.. might
lie studied with profit nial prolaibly
applied here. The August Issue of The
Architectural Forum discusses this
plan > of financial aid, which it says
has been developed by the House Fi-
nancing Corporation wUlcli Eugene
W. Iicwls Is president" and general
manager. This corporation has been
organised and financed by a number of
large employers in Detroit, and It has
for Its purpose the financing of home
building on a basis which offers a- fair
interest return on money Invested.
-The House Financing Corporation
was organised a year ago. It carries
out Its activities under three plans
known as: (1) the banking plan; (2)
o|N>ration plan, anil (3) contractors'
financing plan.
How Ranking Plan Works.
TTnder the first plan, known as the
banking plan, any one owning a build-
ing lot may have a house erected
thereon by the corporation, either af-
ter his own plans, approved by the
corporation, or after plans furnished
by the corporation. The applicant is
investigated to determine the maxi-
mum amount which should be lohrtert
to him. without handicap to his other
domestic requirements. A maximum
of SO per cent on the appraisal value
of a lot and house 1h< loaned ,
Under tbe second plan, the opera-
tion plan, the corporation employs Its
capital direct by purchasing lots in
large nuinlars in various JUtrts of the
city, erecting its own houses thereon
and making tlie sales after completed.
This plan adds a great number of
houses, but does not produce quickly
enough the large number of homes
needed for the relief of the situation.
Assisting Contractors.
Direct assistance to private con-
tractors engaged in erecting houses Is
furnlhsed by the corporation under the
third plan. * Contractors to a large
number engaged in Independent build-
ing tie up their capital, the Income or
turnover not be^ng large enough to
enable tlie contractor to continue his
operation except on a small scale.
The corporation finances temporary
loans on collateral notes, if necessary,
in' order to get the contractor start-
ed on another operation. It then fi-
nances the building ot>erhtion from
time to time as It progresses under Its
plan in detail by taking the contrac-
tor's three-year collateral note.
Advantages of the Plan.
This third plan has the advantages
of keeping the cor| oratlon capital in
a liquid state and of having contrac-
tors working for It and the city on a
stabilized and assured basis to tbe con-
tractor. The corporation has super-
vision over the type and eharacter of
house that Is built, the price at which
it is sold to tbe customer, and can In-
dicate the localities in which these
houses should be built.
The corporation Is complete In Its
various departments for proper oper-
ation and conduct under these plans,
and its efforts and results are lim-
ited only by the amount of capital
As soon as the fixed capi-
tal is Invested, a plan for tbe revolv-
ing of it will l>e instituted. This re-
volving of funds will, of course, be
based noon the securities of the sev-
eral kinds that have been developed in
the conduct of the business. These
securities form tbe safest kind of di-
versified collateral and will make a
most attractive investment.
