FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON STEWART MCDONALD ADMINISTRATOR January 25, 1936 Honorable tiarriner S. Eccles, Governor Federal Reserve Board Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Eccles: it is estimated from examination of the building permits reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that the FHA handled approximately 31% of the new residential construction for one and two family residences during the last six months of 1935• The indicated chart shows that the majority of these fell in the Three to Five Thousand Dollar mortgage class, and since they were around &Q% mortgages, it would appear that the FHA stimulated the residential construction more in the homes costing between T?;enty-five Hundred and Six Thousand Dollars. Sindereiy yours, Sewart McDonaL Administrator ACCEPTED MORTGAGES CLASSIFIED BY AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL PERCENT OF TOTAL NUMBER 10 15 LESS THAN $2,000 2,000-2,999 3,000-3,999 4,000-4,999 5,000-5,999 6,000-6,999 7,000-7,999 8 r 000-8£99 9,000-9,999 10,000-11,999 MORTGAGES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION MORTGAGES REFINANCED 12,000-16,000 FEDERAL HOUSING DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION ECONOMICS DECEMBER , 1935 n STATISTICS , BUILDING PERMITS COMPARISONS OF VALUE IN RECENT MONTHS WITH THE CORRESPONDING MONTHS OF PREVIOUS YEAR NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS JAN.
