Announcement was made yesterday
In London that a group OF acceptance
hanks had granted a $4,000. 900 credit
for the purchase of grain, and this
probably will be another separate
credit which Germany may add TO
the total now under consideration.
The credit granted by group Of
prominent bankers at this time Is
considered of particular Significance,
since II is the first one of Importance
granted since the armistice and
marks the reopening of German and
American financial relations.
Bankers engaged in handling the
other three credits still have them
under negotiations, but say that only
preliminary steps have been taken.
The fact that all negotiations must
be conducted by cable and that they
are extremely slow between the
United States and Germany has
made all of the steps in the ar
rangements difficult.

In a number of instances the ap--
piication for a loan of 40 per cent of
the present selling price of property
would be too high.
Mr.. Linthicum ignores the fact
tnat constructin cost is in most cases
more than twice as much as 1t was six
or eight years ago.
Here Is a concrete example of such
an Increase: Eight or ten years ago
the cost OF constructing an ordinary
brick dwelling was generally 10 or IL
cents cubic foot. Recent construc-
ton costs, to my personal knowledge,
make the price of constructing the
same kind of a house as high as rs
cents cubic foot
Several years ago the construction
OF an ordinary two-and-a half-story
cottage was calculated to cost about
$3.50 a square foot. Recently>the cost
has been as high as $40 or 81 square
foot.
The savings bank officer who would
lend more than about 40 per cent on
these costs does not know his bust
ness and is not a safe director. The
Hopkins Place Savings Bank has al
ways been liberal toward borrowers
on real estate. This is shown by the
ratio of our mortgage loans to our as
sets, which is approximately 80 per
cent. This is the highest percentage
OF any savings bank in the CITY,"
