More than half Of the building
and loan associations of this state
have been soliciting and making
loans to home-oWnerS and home
builders since the first of the year.
While the volume of new loans
has been relatively small, the fact
that such large proportion Of
these savings institutions fl n d
themselves in a position to resume
lending operations indicates the
beginning of real recovery.
