OWN YOUR OWN HOME
MOVEMENT URGED
BY BUSINESS MEN
Sectional Building and Loan
Associations Suggested as
Successful Method.
Meeting NEXT TUESDAY

Sectional or community building
and loan associations, and how they
can be successfully promoted and the
habit Of thrift impressed more closely
upon the people, will be contained In
the report Of a special committee
Loaded by Charles Warner, which will
be presented at town meeting TO be
held next Tuesday evening at s o'clock.
Builders, supply men, architects. and
business men are invited 10 attend
this meeting, and learn the results
which Mr.. Warmers committee have
obtained. The place for the meeting
has not yet been selected.
The purpose of the whole movement
towards establishing additional build
ing and loan associations is 10 aid the
development of thrift among the pco-
pie and the application of funds to-
wards the purchase of homes. The
subcommittee of which Mr.. Warner
is the chairman has gone into the mat
ter thoroughly and has a definite pro-
gram to set forth. so that a beginning
may be made almost at once, If the
views of the committee, which are
unanimous, are approved.
! Not until the business men learned
a few days ago the extent Of the
building and loan business in Phila-
! delphia did they realize why Phlla-
/ delphia is q city of homes and why
the residents in Wilmington live in
rented houses and apartments. one
of every four persons in Philadelphis
belongs TO building and loan associa.
tion. There are 2.15S loan association,
In that city and $4,000. 600 monthly
are paid in. Comparing this ratio wit.
/ Wilmington, there ought TO be NOR,
than 100 such organizations here
whereas there are but six. and instead
of $4,000 being saved through build
ing and loan associations monthly, the
payments ought TO total about $780,.
/ 600.
! Mr.. Warmers committee Will. il
consequence, recommend that not on,
but many such organizations shoulS
be organized. The idea will be q
n,ske IL community affair, in which
the thrifty citizens will through illus
tration convince the thoughtiess tha

away their money, and that through
thrift they can become more respected
and make better citizens The sta
bility of the Philadelphia association,
is due TO the fact that loans are mad
chiefly on homes to home buyers. TIL
practice Of loanins on second mort
cages has aided the association
wonderfully.
Definite details of how such orga n
izations may be pushed successful,
here have been worked out and vii
constitute the important features o
the report.
Every one who is interested in boom
ing Wilmington for their own an
Wilmington's sake is invited 10 atten
