Of building and loan associations, rep
resenting thousands of depositors and
millions of capital met at the Sherman
house last evening. They gathered
to devise a plan which would prevent
further defalcations of officials and
restore public confidence. in building

1t was unanimously agreed that the
recent troubles reflected discredit on
building and loan associations as
such, and that more stringent legis-
latiOn and economical measures would
prevent a re-occurrence of the recent
failures As a first step to bring
about a better state of affairs, it was
decided to organize a federation of
societies and a committee was APP

brought by the administrator of the

the court alone has power to give
judgment.
