newal charges; in many associations the
borrower can get almost any kind Of a
mortgage on his home that he desires in
other words, the monthly payments may be
based on his income; by encouraging small
savings, even 81 a month; making every
member feel that the association is for MIN
and giving him voice In the management
To show what these associations are
doing for men and women with small cap
ital. Mr.. McEwan stated that official sta
tistics of the Banking Department demon
strate that the average mortgage OF asso-
Citations in this state is less than sZ,VO'
with S45.0C00 900 assets; that the average III
New Jersey associations is about sl's"'
with $40 900 assets. He gave several ex-
amples Of men and women who had only
few dollars saved and now own their
homes in the outlying boroushs OF the city
He urged investigation of the plans OF
these associations, and pointed out that
there are opportunities for thousands TO
own homes, at a cost that may be even
less than rent payments-that there Is no
good reason why these thousands should
live in congested sections unless they pre-
fer TO live there.
In the matter OF expenses the speaker
stated that the law limits savings and loan
associations to 2ia per cent OF their net
assets in any one year; every member on
withdrawal must receive at least the
amount he has paid In. there can be no
money taken out OF his principal for ex-
penses The law also provides for strict
supervisors. An association cannot move
from one floor to another, for example
without permission from the Banking De-
partment. At the end Of every year de-
tailed account OF an associations business
sworn to by the president and secretary
must be filed with the Banking Depart
ment at Albany. and the associations are
examined by the department at least once
a wear.

An Active Centre.
yilber T. Brewer said:

WILDER F. Brewer said:
THE effect OF the Hudson tube service
on the business and residential growth Of
Newark has already been anticipated to
some extent. When 1t became known that
the terminal Of the service was TO be
located at Saybrook Place real estate In
the immediate vicinity and I'm that section
Of Broad street located nearest the ter
mInal became very active in the market.
One Of the largest brewing companies in
New jersey erected a handsome building
at the corner OF Broad street and Wash
ington Place, the first and second floors
Of which are used for restaurant purposes
and the third floor for banquets and other
social purposes Across the street from
this restaurant the new Schubert theatre
is approaching completion and will soon
be opened to the public. Other new build
ings TO be used for various purposes, have
been erected or are in the course OF erec-
ton. while real estate speculation contin-
ues exceedingly active in the neighbor-
hood
The immediate effect OF the new service
upon Newark will. therefore, be felt in its
business rather than its residential growth
One advantage 10 the city that perhaps
few have stopped to consider Will be to
give the terminal section business inn
portance approaching that Of the four cor
ners Of Broad and Market streets. New
ark has clung tenaciously TO the four
corner idea. and in this respect is a rural
town. in spite OF It's three hundred and
fftv odd thousand inhabitants The best
thing that can happen to It. II it is going
he ~ fnetrOnnIIa
is TO have it's business centre extended
from the four corners.
The next effect Of the new service to he
felt in Newark will probably he in the line
of apartment houses. The tube will not
carry passengers into the suburbs, as do
the I.ackawanna. the Erie. the Central and
the Pennsylvania railroads, but II Will set
them down in the heart Of Newark, where
within easy walking distance, they can find
excellent apartment house accommodations.
II is to be expected that in the side streets
located within ten minutes walk OF the ter
mnal a great many apartment houses VIII
be erected within the next year or two.
7 here has air ,ady been much buying up OF
property in these side streets, and from
the speculative point OF view the best op-
portunites have passed.
"Whie these will be the most marked
effects OF the new service, the whole city
without question will be benefited from the
real estate point of view. Inasmuch as the
terminal is located where connection can
be made with all the important car lines
Of the city many business men will buy
homes In the better sections OF the city
and for the same reason the nearer suburbs
will also get their share of the improve
ment"
