New Jersey Building and Loan Associa-
tions, through the State League, are still
agitating the subject of new and better
laws IOT Gl6 government VI SuCA OI2dI1LSt-
lions, and when the next meeting of the
league convenes on October II, in Trenton,
the draft of a comprehensive law will have
been prepared by the Executive Committee.
The committee met in Asbury Park on
July 5 and after a thorough discussion each
member was instructed to prepare a law for
the government of building and loan
associations for presentation at a COM
mittee meeting to be held in Sep
TEMPER. In every case the Duncan bill,
which was presented last year by
Assemblyman Charles B.. Duncan of
Newark, will be used as a basis, and the
committee will prepare a final detailed draft
of the bill. This in turn will be presented at
the October meeting of the league, and if
ed to the Legislature for action attthe next
session, probably through Messrs. Duncan
and Eisele.
The Executive Committee Of the league
feels that the revision inc amendment of
the building and loan statutes of New Jersey
is the most important subject which the
league now has to deal with, and while some
things in the proposed bill may be opposed
by the National md so-called State aSsocia-
tions doing business in New Jersey, every
possible means will be used to legally better
the laws for the local associations. These
number over 800, their membership is over
90, 600 and their assets are over S30,000, 600.
When Assemblyman Duncan prepared his
bill during the last legislative session his OBJ
ject was to have it meet the views of a ma
iority of building and loan officers and MEM
bers, OF come as near to that as possible. For
this reason printed copies of the proposed bill
were sent broadcast over the State, and at
the league meeting in Trenton. in January, it
up for general discussion and amend
ment so as to best conform to the ideas of all.
The discussion was long, animated and fruit
full of good results, in that it causes a free n
forcible exchange of opinions. and brought
out arguments for and against its strong and
weak points. Amendments were offered TO
various sections, and opposition was made to
any change at all. The result was that be-
cause of lack Of time definite action upon it
was postponed in order TO give the executsve
committee an opportunity to get the senti-
ment of the league and then construct the
bill. 1t is this winch is now being done.
