NEW BUILDING SOCIETY,
one Now Being Formed Along the
Lines of ZlOn's Benefit.

A new building society Is being or
ganlzed in this city, along the plan Of
the Zlon's Benefit Building society and
the name will be the Deseret Building
society. The main reason for Its be-
ing * the fact that the lions society
has reached rs zenith in its sphere of
operations. so that there is an excellent
opportunity for a second society in
the same field There have been sew
eral meetings. and Incorporation pa
pers have been prepared. The capital
stock is placed at Sl000,O00 dollars in
10000 shares of 500 each, and 1t Is pro-
posed 10 have large directory Of 20
members. well known business men,
who can provide FOR any sized quorum
with which to transact business.
Moreover, the plan contemplates au-
thorzing lnstallment stock In which all
stockholders are to share alike, and ar
range for distribution OF PROFITS at
about per cent. or along the line OBJ
served In the older society.
II Is proposed to have the investment
stock fully paid up, which viii draw an
annual dividend OF G per cent and sub
ject 10 the same terms OF withdrawal
MS the other stock az the society. When
ever the nstallment stock Is subscribed
TO such an extent as to make the In
vestment or per cent stock undesir-
able, the latter may be gradually re-
tired, the holders being given ample no.
tlce The society is purely mutual, the
directors receiving no pay, only those
officers who perform actual clerical
work receiving compensation, Among
the prominent citizens promoting the
new society are Nephl l.. Morris,
Quayle Cannon. Joseph Nelson, Frank
Y. Taylor. Hugh j.. Cannon William

The preamble 10 the articles Of incor-
poratlon says, More than 20 years ago

Its purpose the assisting OF its members
IN building and acquiring homes. was
