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.
