TAI . year earlier, or an increase
Of about $52, 900 ,000."
Due to . healthy growth In inS
vestments In member savings and
loan associations during the last
year, providing additional funds for
home-financing loans, their requests
for advances from the Federal Home
Loan Banks were fewer than IN
1887, Mr.. Webb explained.
Advances by the banks numbered
1900 for q total of $84 ,553,574 during
the II months ending November 30,
1888, as compared with $500 ad-
vances totaling $119,1ae, ,934 for the
year ending November 30, 1887.
Under the regulations Of the bank
system" Mr.. webb explained, "ad-
vances are made up to year on an
unsecured basis and up to 10 years
on the security Of their eligible home
mortgages. The longer term loans
are amortized on q basis comparable
to the members own loans to their
borrowers"
Since their founding six years
ago the Federal Home Loan Banks
have made advances totaling $472,-
146, 900, Of which $189, ,687, ,476 now is
outstanding. Since January / one
year debentures amounting to $52.-
100000 matured and were paid oil,
and two issues totaling $64, ,0O0, 900
were distributed in the public money
market,
Evening star., 1939-01-07

The largest increase In bank sys-
tenn membership, Mr.. Webb said,
was registered by Federally char
tered institutions. At the end of
November there were 1855 Federals
with total assets Of 81, ,294. .Ol8, 900, q
compared with 1909 having assets
Of $1,066. .500, 900 q year earlier. A
decrease in the number Of State
chartered members Of the system Of
from ASA to 2,546 was accounted
for largely by conversions to Fed
eraJ charter by State-ehartered in
stitutions. However, the total assets
Of State-chartered members regis
tered an increase Of from q, ,474, ,219,-
600 on November 80, 1887, to $2,483,-
$4,000 . year later.
There was q gain Of IL insurance
company members Of the bank sys-
tenn during the year, their number
Increasing from ~ to 80 and their
aggregate assets from $366, ,267 900 to
$432. .050. 900. Savings bank members
Of the system remained stationary at
nine, having assets Of $500, ,804 900.
Growth Of Resources.
while the number and financial
resources Of bank system members
continued to expand" Mr.. Webb
said, there was a corresponding
growth in the resources OF the IL
Federal Home Loan Banks them
selves. At the end Of November the
total assets Of the banks had reached
the all-time peak figure Of $780,

Examining Costs Cut
For Servings Groups

Savings of from 10 to IS per cent
in the cost OF examinations made
into the condiJion of Federal-char-
tered savings and loan associations
and State-chartered associations in
sured by the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corp. will result
from the adoption by the examining
division of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board of a new and simplifiec
form, John w. Ballard, chief ex-
aminer, announced today.
This reductions in cost of the
boards annual examinations Will
benefit some 2,07O insured associa-
tions with assets of $2,042 ,3O5 900
scattered throughout the United
States. These include 1865 Federal
chartered associations with assets
OF s1,258,754,0O0 and 7o5 State.
chartered associations with total
resources of 1851 900.
AS a result of wide experience
and several years of intensive study
OF the examination problem" Mr..
Ballard" explained. I'VE have de-
veloped a new form of report which,
while thoroughly rejecting the
financial condition and character of
the institutions examined, neverthe-
less is simplified to reduce the work
involved in an examination and
cut its cost"

Concrete Placing
Methods Tested

Improvements in the methods of
placing concrete in large dams,
buildings and other majox struc-

strepgth-the adhesion between re-
Enforcing steel and concrete-now
being conducted at Columbia Uni
versity. it is announced by Prof
R. R. zipprodt of the department
Of civil engineering.
THE new method is mechanical
and consists in vibrating the con-
crete after it has been placed in
forms by means of vibrating ele-
ment from II to "a inches in length
and from 11a to 2 inches in dame
ter, sunk in the concrete and elec-
trically operated at speeds varying
from 5000 to 10000 impulses per
minute" explained Prof. Zipprodt.
This compacts the concrete over
an area 2l2 to 3 feet in diameter
surrounding the vibrator, which is
moved from place to place by a
