REPORTS STATE HOUSING LOANS AT $8,000,000 Peters Announces Title II Mortgage Applications Total $11,500,000. Timri Special MITCHELL, Jnd., May 19— A total of 26.203 Indiana citizens have made Federal Housing Administration Title I loans for modernization and repair of properties, amounting to approximately $8 000,000, R. Earl Peters, state FHA director, said this afternoon. Speaking before the Rotary Club luncheon, Mr, Peters also announced that 3400 Hoosiers have applied for insured mortgages under Title II totalling $11,500,000. ‘'The release of such large sums of private funds for new construction, repairs and refinancing of existing mortgages has provided a distinct impetus to the revival of the construction industry and is providing needed housing in most communities of our state,” Mr. Peters said. Shortage Is Acute "There is now, and doubtless wi* be for a number of years, an acute housing shortage in practically all of the communities of Indiana. In most cities and towns many families are doubled up. A surprisingly large percentage of existing dwellings are unsuitable for occupancy. The programs under Titles I and II of the act are making available private funds for the remedy of those conditions. "While Ti'le I is an emergency measure providing for character loans for modernization, equipment and improvement of buildings. Title IT provides a long-term single mortgage system for financing the building of new homes, refinancing of existing mortgages and purchase of homes already built. "Under both Titles I and II of the act only privately owned funds are available. The government insures banks, building and loan associations Bnd other private lenders against losses if those institutions loan funds for the purposes specified in the National Housing Act.” CENTRAL AVENUE M.
