States League of Local Building e.
Loan associations opened its fifth an.
nual meeting to-day in the city coun.
ell chamber, with a fair attendance,
representing all the states, about 20 in

local building associations. President
Michael J. Brown, of PHILADELPHIA,
called the delegates to order and
introduced Mayor Mayburv, who
welcomed the league to the city
and acclaimed Detroit as a city
of beautiful homes, more of
which, he said, were owned
by their occupants than in any other
city in the country. "A mans home
indicates his character" said he,
whether it be a palace or hut.
Men are led into habits of thrift and
influenced to build and own their
homes by the system which your
league represents. President Brown
appointed a committee on credentials
with Irving b. Rich. of Michigan,
chairman, and committee on resolu-
tlons, with Judge Seymour Dexter, of
New York, chairman. President Brown
then delivered his annual address.
