tract Bonds
(Continued from page 14)
The sum due under the contract, including the retained percentage. But I want to emphasize that the assignment becomes effective only in the event of actual default. The surety does not interfere with the operation of the contractor unless and until there is a breach and it is required to do so. This is, of course, the practice of a bonding company to pursue all of its legal rights in its efforts to hold down and recover its loss. I make this clear because a Contract Bond is not an insurance policy to protect the contractor, but is a surety bond to protect the owner. So, if a contractor gets into a jam through an error in estimating or by getting a job that turns out to be a bad one, it is the contractor's responsibility to find a way to work out of the problem.

1 of Every 5 Dwellings
Last Year Was Apartment
One of every five dwellings built last year was an apartment, according to year-end construction summaries. This proportion is expected to rise even higher during 1961.
Primary reasons for this rise in rental units include: (1) Increase in number of young adults and older people in the market for smaller, less expensive units; (2) failure of the industry to provide sufficient low-cost housing within budgets of various family groups; (3) increase of costlier "luxury" type homes and location away from metropolitan areas. Many of new apartment units have gone up within hailing distance of "downtown" areas.
