rhe New Building Association and Other
Items.
The Belmont Savings and Loan Com
,anY has closed the first year of its exist
,nce in q most prosperous condition. There
4 no doubt that this little banking concern
You can call it that-hss made the best
showing of any institution ever incorpor-
sted in this city, the aim of which was TO
establish the means whereby the lsborer or
he man in moderate circumstances might
be able to secure q home By small pay
nen;s at stated periods. The Belmont
pepsu business with about 1900 shares OF
stock taken, since when there has been as
high as 1000 shares at a time signed Tor.
There are not that many at present, as
number of stockholders, finding they were
pinched for money withdrew at times
but the shares are being rapidly taken
again. The Association rules allow per-
sons to subscribe stock when they please.
This part of the bylaws is different
from that of any association ever
started here. Money has sold at a very high
rate of premium since the inception OF the
new company and it is for this reason that
if was able to declare dividend OF 10 per
cent. on it's first years business. II the
association was able to pay such q hand
some dividend when only twelve months
old, what will it pay the second and third
wear of its existence This is ssquestion
which those who have surplus money
should ponder. The indications are that
il will pay larger dividend the next twelve
month than any ssving institution In the
CITY of whatever character. As long as
borrowers pay exorbitsnt prices Tor
money, so long will the stock OF the lnstl-
tuition be greatly enhanced in value An
association of this nature that starts out
By selling money at fancy prices fares
much better than the company that only
gets medium rates, as the non-borrowers
begin resping an harvest from the frst, at
the expense of the poor fellows who would
have money regardless OF its cost.
