F o r m N o . 131 Office jCorrespondence ~v> Chairman Eccles FEDERAL RESERVE BA D 0R Subject: n^. J*™ n, Chart from Mr. McDonald Mom «!>• Mr. McDonald has asked me to show you the attached chart and table which he has had made comparing the FHA volume of new construction and refinancing with that of the Federal Savings and Loan Associations. Mr. McDonald says that, as nearly as his statistical department can estimate, the FHA is now insuring about one-third of all the current mortgage business that might be eligible to insurance. You will notice from the table and chart that in refinancing the FHA volume is more than 90 per cent greater than that of the Federal Savings and Loan Associations, and in new construction more than 150 per cent greater. I am to return the chart and table to Mr. McDonald after you have seen it. I am also attaching the most recent summary of the volume of the FHA business under Titles I and II. You will notice from this that the business under Title I~is falling off considerably, as was anticipated when the title was extended in limited form. Mr. McDonald says that the reports from his field offices, however, indicate that the banks are continuing to handle the Title I type of business without insurance. I«tr will notice that the mortgageinsurance business, at the same time^is steadily increasing and shows a very great advance thus far this year over the corresponding period of last year. 16—852 FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION June 10, 1936 SUBJECT: MONTHLY VOLUME REPORTED FOR TITLES I AND II BUSINESS Modernization & Repair Notes Insured 1934 $ 30,450,583 (Aug. through Dec.)
