ACTING ADMINISTRATOR

Honorable Marriner S. Eooles
Governor, Federal Reserve Board
Washington, D. G.
Dear Mr* Eooles:
The attached figures may interest you*
The activities under Title I, "which covers
modernization and repairs, were commenced last Pall and
continued throughout the Winter• With the opening of
Spring the program has gained momentum.
A very large amount of work stimulated by
nearly 8,000 FHA civic campaigns is done either for cash
or uninsured loans • It is estimated that to date a
total of 514,472,970 dollar value of jobs have either
been completed or are under way.
It was about April first before the various
states had passed sufficient enabling laws to allow
Title II to function properly. Title II deals with
the insurance of home mortgages.
During the past eleven weeks the weekly average
of Title I has been doubled and that of Title II tripled.
The Federal Housing Administration itself does
not make loans. Those reported are made by private
capital either for modernization and repairs; new dwelling
construction or refunding of existing mortgages.




Yours sincerely,

Steviart McDonald
Acting Administrator
