Home Building Surges Despite Tight Credit Here
Frederick W. Rubie of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco says national home building slows are sharp due to tighter federal credit and labor shifts, but Phoenix shows a milder dip with local commitments down 20 to 25 percent. The bank has advanced 14 million dollars in Phoenix for housing over 14 years, including 4 million in 1950, supporting savings and loan associations. Rubie, visiting for a board meeting, notes Phoenix’s growth since 1912 and outlines bank roles in liquidity and asset rediscounting to keep funds flowing. Discussion will cover credit restrictions and regional bank reports from Noon and Bogardus.

Sam Head’s return provided the pivotal 10th vote to kill the bill for the eighth time as Gov. Howard Pyle and Phoenix Mayor Nicholas Udall observed the dramatic stalemate.
