M. O'Connor, state manager of the New Jersey office, said yesterday.

Some 6,409 additional borrowers are making adjusted payments which give hope that they, too, will bs able to retain their homes, according to Mr. O'Connor. In all, New Jersey borrowers have repaid $23,423,186, or 13.4 per cent of their entire principal Indebtedness. Collections in August were 100 per cent of the monthly billings, with collections for the first eight months of this year exceeding any comparable period in the corporation's history.

The Aid to Keeping Mark at New High Increased private construction contracts awarded last month move than offset a moderate decline in contracts for publicly-owned projects, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation. In consequence, the over-all September contract total for the 37 eastern states, showed a three per cent increase over the preceding month and a seven per cent increase over September, 1938. The increase of private-ownership contracts from $153,869,000 in August to $179,011,000 in September was principally due to increased volume of commercial and factory building, residential contracts continuing at approximately ths Au-gUBt rata.

Factory building contracts In September were practically double the amounts awarded in September of last year and in August of this year, the Increased activity In this class ocourring principally In Ohio and Texas. The September contract total for factory building was the largest recorded since December, 1937. Thus, the trends In evidence during the past several months, of continuing private construction at a relatively high rate and moderately declining publio work, persisted during the first month which has elapsed since the outbreak of war In Europo. Tha cumulative contract total for the first nine months of this year, amounting to $2,634,802,000 Is the highest for any like period since 1930, and Is 23 per cent greater than the total for ths first nine months of last year.

At any rate, the next individual who builds from the same plan will be embarking on no untried experiment. Both these considerations recommend the cottage design offered today by the Architects' Co-operative Plan Service, in the new series of house lay-outs being pre-eantad by the Sunday Times. It Cost $5,200 The architect who designed this clean-cut dwelling built it as a home for his own family. The construction cost was The house can be duplicated today for approximately that figure. The man who planned the house is living in it; he finds it satisfactory in every way, and sees no detail he would change if he were doing it all over again.

As will be seen from the accompanying sketch, it's a simple two-stoiy house, with a small porch at the left connecting it with a one-car garage. At the back, opening from the living room and overlooking the garden at the rear, is a sheltered porch This house it's called The Warrenstarted where all sound home building projects should start with the plan. The architect strove for no special style; he aimed at an arrangement of rooms which would meet his needs. The external design grew naturally out of the room arrangement.

So he compromised by designing the porch so that winter panels can be installed, converting it into a weather-break. The living room, extending the full depth ot the house, is slightly more than 18 feet long. A Colonial fireplace, centered in the long outside wall, serves as a focal point for decoration, double French doors, giving access to the porch', open the end of the room to the summer breezes. In addition to these doors, there are three windows to admit light and air. The dining room, at the other side of the hall, has two windows Copyright Architects' Co-operative Plan Service, Inc.
