Savings Associations
Lead in Financing
Urban Housing
Detailed National Study
Is First Made in
This Country

That savings and loan associations
are financing larger part of ur-
ban housing in America than any
other type of lender was shown to-
day in the first detailed national
study of mortgage recordings ever
made in this country.
The study, announced by the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, lndl-
Gated that during December saw
ings and loan associations financed
80 per cent of the number and 29
per cent of the amount OF all mort
cages of $4,000 or less on non
farm properties. Banks and trust
companies ranked next with 26 per
cent of the amount of such mort
cages. Other lenders were: 1ndl-
viduals, II per cent; miscellaneous
lenders, IA per cent; insurance COM
panies, 10 per cent, and mutual say
ings banks, 4 per cent.
This first report was based upon
returns from 29O counties possessing
% per cent of the total non-farm
population of the country. AS the
study, which is planned as a regu-
lar monthly activity of the Division
of Research and Statistics of the
Bank Board continues, it is eX-
pected rapidly to expand the num-
Der of reporting counties in order
to broaden the base of the report.
Highest Rate in ID. c.
Cooperating in the study with
the Division of Research and Sta
tistics of the Federal Home Loan
Board are savings and loan eXecu-
tives. the United States Building
and Loan League, the National As
sociation of Title Companies and
the National Mortgage Bankers As
sociation.
The study shows that savings,
building and loan associations re-
corded mortgages amounting to
8O.838 900. or % per cent of the
total mortgages on non-farm prop
erty for December In 20 States
these associations recorded more
mortgages than any other class of
lender.
Z The highest rate of mortgage
financing-S9O9 per person-was re-
corded in the District of Columbia
Florida was second with S644 per
person and California third with
$3.50.

cages recorded by the various classes
of lenders were:

sorship of bills designed to revamp
the monetary policy of the country to
conform with his theory that there
should be a permanent distribution
of national production.
He had monetary problems fore
most in mind when he first became
member Of Congress. As a special
reward for being the only Democrat
elected to Congress to defeat Re-
publican running to succeed himself,
Mr.. Goldsborough was offered APP
pointment to any committee he chose.
It was suggested that he pick the pow
erful ways and means committee, but
he named the banking and currency
committee. When the Democrats be-
came the majority party six years ago
Mr.. Goldsborough became second
ranking member.
His other love was local legislation
for the Shore counties. He was par
ticularly attentive to pleas for aid
from watermen or from small towners
who wanted some favors at the dis
posal of members of Congress.
Many heads were shaken when
Goldsborough took over the task of
planning the trip President Roosevelt
made before the Maryland primary
election in the Inflated purge" cam
paign against Senator Tydings. Mr..
Goldsborough rode with the President
from Crisfield to Denton, the repres-
entative's home town, where the Presi-
dent made a speech supporting David
J. Lewis, New Deal candidate for the
Senate.
He was born in Greensboro, Nd,
Sept. 16, 1877, and was graduated
from Washington College with an A.
B. degree in 1899. His alma mater
gave him an honorary IL. D. in 1885.

SHOWING WAY
TO OTHER FIVES
National Guard Defeats Crack
Club From Phillips Pack
ing Company
TEXACO WINS FROM A
STRONG SALISBURY CLUB

The Pocomoke athletes engaged II
the popular game, BASKETBALL art
really going to town these days.
On Wednesday evening of last week
two teams from Crisfield came to
grief at the hands of two Pocomoke
quints. The preliminary was between
the Texaco Five and the Crisfield high
school. The main event brought to-
gether the Speedboys of Granville, and
the National Guards, of Pocomoke.
The former tussle went to the locals,
80 to 26; the latter, by So to 38.
Wednesday night last, two more
teams came here, these representing
Salisbury and Cambridge. The for
mer called themselves, "Hakoas" the
latter was the quint representing the
Phillips Packing Company. Again.
Pocomoke was credited with two vic
tories. The Texacos took care Of the
Salisbury bunch by the score of 1922;
the Guards downed the Cambridge
bunch, 48-41.
The Phillips aggregation came here
with quite a reputation as cagers, and
after a few seconds of play they be-
gan scoring; but the locals soon over
took them, assumed the lead, and were
never headed afterward. 1t was
rather unexpected victory, and the
boys are to be congratulated on win
ming.
The Texacos are going big, too. Be-
sides the two victories noted above,
they recently played the Sea Gulls, of
Ocean City, and clipped the wings of
these birds by the score Of 43 to IL.
Those taking part in the first game
for the Texacos were: j. Levin, N. AL
len, A. Miles, B. Allen, E. Allen, P.
Merrill, C. Callahan, w. Hancock, C.
Byrd, and E. Cutler. B. Allen was
high scorer with IL points.
For the Hakoas, L. Givarz, G. Civ
arr, S. Seidel, B. Miller, M. Cherry,
and s. Givarz. L. Givarz was high
scorer with 9 points.
In the second game those playing
for Pocomoke were: C. Miller, West,
Lambertson, Phillips, MCGEE, Hayman,
Mason and T. Miller. C. Miller was
high man with 20 points and T Miller
with IL; these two scoring SO Of the
48 points.
For Cambridge: Wilkinson, Zim-
nerman, Mowbray, G.. Tanner, w.
Tanner, Marshall, Kinnamon, and
Phillips. Wilkinson was high scorer
with IL points. West refereed the
first game; Miller, the second.
