The Belgian government has decided

money will be lent to the local author

The conditions are that no loan may
exceed half the cost of the building
or a maximum of 6000 francs and the
rent charged must not amount to more
than 4 per cent of the total cost of
building.
It is officially calculated that the
cost of building in the devastated
