In view of the recent depression
in trade aud the inability Of thnGs
ands nf the ltlnring classes to ob.
tain employment, it might he argued
with n great degree of Wausihility
that during the past few years the
foreclosures on bal,ling association
mortgages. which are mostly on the
property of luhoring men, were out
of all proportion tn the mortgages
held by other inStituti1ns, bat the
ligures do not show this to lie the
case. In 1874, for instance, when
the Sales under foreclosure in :hiS
city were 1.l4l, only BOB, or IL .!
per cent, were of association mort
cages. In 1875 the sales We're 1924,
and of these only 80, or 1871 pei
cent, were upon ASSOCIATION mort.
cages. AS the association mhrtga-
ges were over 80 per cent. in 1874.
and over q per cent. of all recorded
in 1875, the statistics are far from
being opposed To the future career OF
the building associations.
II is hardly poSsibls with the data
obtainable Eow 10 give more than
an approximate estimate of the
Stockholders in building association;
in this city, but their success has
been ST marked and their manage
ment, as a rule, sn upright and man
ly, as TO attract the patron ,ge, OF
rather co-operatioa; or workingman
anxious to secure homes Of their
own. Is il estimated by gentlemen
who know that tine subscribers IN
building associations In this city
number at least 81, 800, bat Others
fix the number at 6J,Q0J. Ii the
reader will take the trouble to look
into the last census he viii fad that
Philadelphia contains 2lT.6Sj per
sons with occupations. According
To this the building associations
claim one. fifth of the working people
of The city, and doubtless their claim
is well founded.
To the kOnOr of the building asso-
Citations Of Philadelphia it may be
said That within the past fifteen
years there has not been a single as
ISOLATION IN bankruptcy or in Sc
qnestration or under execution.
Thecharm of che building association
tn the working man is its cheapness.
Say that his necessities requiie a
house worth say Sl2.50 per month.
This hou'e purchased outright
would cost him about 81, 800. Should
