Reconversion Head Plans Quality Controls for Home Buyers
An aide to John W. Snyder says the reconversion director plans quality controls to ensure buyers get value for money. The plan would have the National Housing Agency check builders’ specifications when applying for government aid, with possible denial of aid if prices exceed costs. A rule would earmark half of materials for homes costing 10000 dollars or less to prevent prices like an overpriced six thousand dollar home.
