sociation by rising vote of 43 to l, agreed
to, hereafter work under the act of 1879, re-
lating to B. & L. Associations, and directed the
Secretary of the Association to send TO the
Secretary of the Commonwealth at Harrisburg
the certificate required by the act This, how
ever, was not done until the middle or latter
part of last week, when it was probably accom-
panied by a protest by few non-berrowlng
members of the Association, which may de-
feat the will of the Association. These mem
bers claim that the proceedings were not regu-
lar, although after q careful reading OF both
the Act of Assembly and Bylaws Of the Asso-
citation we can discover no irregularity IN them.
The resolution can be voted upon by stock at
the next meeting of the Association, fixed Tor
May 26, and all borrowing members of the AS
sociation who cannot attend should send their
proxies to their friends. The difficulty encoun'
tered in winding up the affairs of this Associa-
ton is in the fact that the nOn-borrowlng MEM
bers want too high rate of interest on the
driblets they have paid into the treasury OF
the Association. The act of '79 al
lows them six per cent, the Asso-
citation offers them ten, and yet they want
more and give as reason that the association
has been immensely profitable and that they
should have share of these immense profits
when in fact the entire assets of the association
to-day sLIount to but s. 1000, all of which, with
three or four thousand dollars added-enougn
to give them their money back with ten per
cent. interest added, they are welcome to. AS
the association stands now, the first borrowers
those who borrowed at 40 per cent. premium
and thereabouts have lost about $4,000 on each
share borrowed on, the late borrowers-those
who obtained loans at per cent. premium and
thereabouts have made or will make, if the as
sociation runs out within the year, about S5O.OO
on each share. By the end of the year
the borrowers at high rate will have
lost about $4,000 on each share
borrowed on. Some of them are poor
men, struggling for their bread and butter, and
it seems strange to US, that lot of well-to-do
men should persist in demanding from them
higher rate of interest than ten per cent.
