HOME LOAN BANK
ACT CELEBRATED
Building Representatives of
Country in Session See Hope
in Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.


FRENCH LICK, ND September L.
Representatives of building and loan as
sociations throughout the Nation today
joined In celebration of the recently
enacted Federal home loan bank act.
The fortieth annual convention of
the United States Building and Loan
League brought the building and loan
representatives to this Indiana resort.
William E. Best Of Pittsburgh, presi-
dent Of the league, outlined in an ad-
dress at the opening session the con-
dttions which he said the American
public must meet before normal busi-
ness will return.
The league president said the build
ing of more small homes, the repair
and moderniZation of homes already
built and a realization that the whole
system of production is built on thrift
and conservation of resources instead Of
on lucky chance on fortunes wheel
are the conditions to be met.
Hope Seen In Loan Banks.
The home loan bank system, Mr.. Best
said, will make it possible to meet two
Of these demands for business recovery.
He predicted that the building of low
cost homes would be developed on q
sound basis during the coming year.
We will not have normal conditions" 4"
said Mr.. Best, until we can make mort
gage credit available to the small home
owner and to the individual who de-
sires to build home. There must be
some resumption of activity in the field
of residential construction, and there
Is no reason for not resuming it so long
as millions of our people are housed in
unsanitary novels without any Of those
things which we associate with the mod
ern American home. A recent survey
shows that there is no no mortgage
money for small homes either for re-
financing or any other purpose, in SO
per cent of the cities from which the
returns came. This is a great oppor-
tunity for the home loan bank system
to show its worth to the country"
H. F. Cellarius. secretary-treasurer of
the league, in his annual report listed
the total assets of building and loan
associations in the United States at
$S,417 ,375 sos 1t was the first public
announcement of the statistics COM
piled by Mr.. Cellarius from the reports
OF supervising departments in the vari-
GUS States as of January /, 1882.
Assets Increased.
The secretary's report showed that
building and loan associations in 18
States, including the District of Co
lumbia, and the Territory of Hawaii,
had increased their assets in 1881
The combined assets of the IL ,442
building and loan associations of the
United States" the report Of the secre-
tary disclosed, showed a decrease of
$411.236,32O in 1881 over the previous
year. The total membership was
II l,338.70l, or a decrease of 1912 ,227
members for the year.
The total investments of building and
loan associations in mortgage loans was
S7,209, ,646,61o which was 85.7 per cent
of their total resources. The aggregate
amount of mortgage loans made in 1881
is estimated at 5000, 100000, as COM
pared with 300,000,000 for 1880, a
decrease of little over 80 per cent
over the amount so invested by them
in the previous year."
