Duly elected and appointed
distiict missionary representa
tives from 35 of the 41 districts
of the general council of the
Assemblies of God. meeting in
conference .with the Assem
blies of God foreign missions
department at Springfield. Mo.,

The Assemblies of God have
been among the leading Pro

I MODEL HOUSING
PROGRAM IS TOLD
Prospective New Home
Owners Hear FHA
Plan at Spelts-Ray
A detailed discussion of Fed
eral Housing Authority’s (FHA)
new home construction and
home improvement program
was conducted Monday night
at the offices of the Spelts-Ray
Lbr. Co. Two-dozen prospective
new home owners were present
at the informal gathering.
| R E. ("Dick’’) Spelts, of
Grand Island, assistant general
manager of the 16-yard organ
ization of which Spelts-Ray is
a member, told his listeners
how FHA would guarantee a
loan up to 95 percent on a new
home costing $6,316 for a period
of 30 vears; or 90 percent on a
new home costing $7,000 or
more and 80 percent on the
balance for a period of 25 years.
Thesf loans, he pointed out, ap
ply to owners who propose to
live in these homes.
For investors, FHA has a plan
for simplex or duplex housing
units on which 80 percent of
the loan will be guaranteed on
! a 20-year program.
Spelts traced the origin of
FHA which was intended to
encourage lending agencies to
become active in housing. To
day, Spelts said, "FHA is
unique in the governmental
bureau setup in that it shows
a profit."
FHA in Nebraska has lost
1 only $286 on ‘.‘bad loans” since
its inception — this on repair
loans.
The Spelts firm already has
completed its 189th house under
FHA financing in towns in
which the firm operates.
Hugh Ray, head of the firm
here, states that “we are ready
to launch an extensive low-cost
frame home construction pro
gram in O’Neill. These houses
are not prefabricated, will be
built by local carpenters, wired
by local electricians, fitted by
local plumbers.”
Spelts said 95 per cent of the
demand for new homes is in
the low-cost range. Earlier the
firm had experimented with a
1- bedroom house costing less,
but during the past 2 years a
2- bedroom house (not prefab
ricated) has been developed
that will cost as little as $7,200
(assuming lot, which the pros
pective builder has already ac
quired, will be worth $500).
Payments, insurance and
taxes for such a house will run
“about $45 per month.”
Spelts confined his discussion
to city dwellings, and pointed
out that a new set of rules are
established for rural building.
| Spelts also discussed FHA re
pair loans on which FHA will
I guarantee loans up to $3,000 on
residential improvements such
as garages, outbuildings, paint
ing, etc.
“These improvements, how
ever, must be attached to _ the
ground and be permanent,” he
said.
All lumber yards in Holt
county are qualified to process
FHA paper.
Spelts said there is consider
able misconception about FHA.
The agency does not lend mon
ey—-it merely guarantees mon
ey that a lending agency will
loan.
