feasible to do so. Seventeen appli-
cations to change to the new charter
now are pending before the board.
Charter K. according to board
ofncials. was based On the experience
and advice Of hundreds of home
financing institutions and Is believed
to combine the best practices In the
savings and loan field. Its outstand-
Ing Characteristic is simphcity.
Among the advantages Of Charter
K for modern savings and loan as-
sociation practices omcials Of the
board list these:
l. Numerous pushing types Of share
investments are abandoned and two
simple types Of accounts are offered
the investment share account for the
person who has accumulated and
wishes to invest . definite sum Of
money upon which he shall receive
4 cash income, and the savings share
account for both the regular and oc-
casional saver. No requirement Is
imposed Is to the amount to be saved.
2. The investor l. not subject to
assessment, Is he was under many
Of the older charters, and will not
at any time be called upon to pay
anything beyond the amount which
he has invested.
3. Investments may be withdrawn
without loss OF dividends, and bonuses
are offered for regular, systematic
saving. Under previous practices in
vestors often received lower dividends
II their funds were withdrawn before
q specified date.
4. A simplified, direct reduction
amorti9ed loan is offered. The bor-
rover knows at the outset Just how
Evening star., 1938-04-30

much he must pay in principal and
interest at stated intervals and when
he will own his property free Of
mortgage debt.
5. Federal associations are permitted
TO borrow up to so per cent of their
assets from the Federal Home Loan
Bank Of their district, an aid in ex-
panding business rapidly or meeting
periods Of unusually high cash with
drawels.
Summarizing the effect Of the new
charter, Fred w. Catlett, . member
Of tho bank board, describes 1t thus:
"The new charter Is . departure
from savings and loan tradition and
. step knowingly taken in the direc-
ton Of savings bank operation.
1T permits more hexibihty in In
vestment programs. It Is more easily
understood by investors and avoids
the necessity Of explanation and the
sales resistance Of the old corporate
share feature. It comes much close,
