AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.
| Last evening, the inst annual meeting OF
The stockholders Of the city Building and

ihc report of the Auditors was submitted,
read and accepted from it we excerpt the
following
Received for monthly dues, sl3,2iO; for in
terest, $460 30; for fines, $62 13 for premiums,

the lowest, 33 per cent. the average, 3!n

showing for a Loan Association just closing
the first year of Its existence. The rather
large balance in the Treasury is the result
OF a mistake at the last monthly meeting

and so left a balance. The whole amount
could have been readily sold at good premi-
um.
