Oh, Mr. Greeley THE HOUSING trends ftoward long, low ranch, the California epic. ; Just look around. The pre-fab hoys are. Word in the trade is that Gunnison Homes of New Alwill introduce an “Out West” look in a mew line sometime next month. It may come during a meeting of Mid-Western dealers or at the National Association of Real Estate Boards parley in Miami, Fla. But whenever it comes out or whatever designs it may have, the new house line will be a knock-out, if I know Gunni-

; 2 : Two Lumps, Please BUILDERS ADDED a little sugar, then some demon to their construction tea-pot last week. In Houston, where Texans are , building as big as they talk, directors of the National Association of Home Builders heard their president, Thomas P. gan, give some umphh to what they hope will happen. He sald the government would relax the tighter credit curbs to trim building when they see how drastic their new order actually is. The new regulation asks too much down payment, not enough time to pay off the lean loan. And that'll cut building below the 850,000 unit target for next year, he said. Then relaxation will come. That was sugar. s

BUT, Mr. Coogan warned, con-| trols will slow construction’ to]

such a point that the industry would require six months to a year to get started rolling again at top speed. That was the lemon. g

Flower Boxes Add

To AMractiveness This pretty little home has more than its share of “please-‘choose-me” appeal. x 1t is designed for cinder block and white wood siding construction. As you enter into the vestibule, right in front of you is a large clothes closet. At the left, you go into the living room with its picture window. Here again you see how much outside flower boxes would add to its at-

lib, the quick retort. Politicians are right in there, or is this blasphemy toward the comic's comeback? When asked last week what he would talk about before the Real Estate Board luncheon - meeting this Thursday, Charlie Brownson said: ’ “I'm not sure yet; that is, I haven't titled my address.” MR. BROWNSON, Republican candidate for the 11th congressional post in the November election, then asked what his opponent, Rep. Andrew Jacobs, iwould have to say before, the ireaitors’ group. ’ tractiveness. At the left end of | Rep.

Mortgages, Deeds Continue Active

Like new residential starts, reall estate activity is starting to slip a little, But it's still a more healthful market than it was a year ago this time during the peak of the

boom building period. i This was shown again last week in the summary of mortgages issued by the Union Title Co. The record of deeds and mortgages, shadow new starts, transactions following construction. In September, 1811 deeds and 1 mortgages 2 million were filed at the Courthouse, This is down from August totals of 2153 deeds and 1703 mortgages at $8.9 million.
