National Permanent Savings
and Loan Association will re-
duce its annual dividend rate
to 4 per cent from Az per cent,
effective for the third quarter
beginning July /, President
John w. Stadtler announced
yesterday.
Ranking as this areas third
largest savings and loan with
record assets of more than
$l42 million on March 81, Ma
tional Permanent also is the
third and largest Washington
association so far to join an
anticipated parade back to 4
per cent.
A little more than 30 days
ago, savings and loan leaders
predicted that most of Wash
ington's 81 associations would
cut back dividend rates to 4
per cent from Az per cent by
midyear to relieve an increas-
ing squeeze on profits.
Since then Interstate Build
ing and Potomac Federal have
announced plans for reductions.
Home Federal Savings has told
shareholders it may have to
cut after midyear.
Two Retained ~ Rate
Perpetual Building Associa-
ton, Washington's largest, and
Guardian Federal Savings and
Loan kept their 4 per cent
rates when other District asSo-
Citations raised to AZ per cent
more than a year ago.
Chairman Joseph P. McMur-
ray and other members Of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
have been urging savings and
loans Of the Nation to cut back
dividends to relieve a profit
squeeze which they consider a
threat to sound operations. Mr..
McMurray recently compli-
mented Washington and Miami
associations for being first to
cut dividends.
National Permanent will
credit a quarterly dividend for
the second quarter ended June
80 at the current rate Of Az
per cent on its nearly $125 mil
lion Of savings accounts, Mr..
Statdler said in a letter to
shareholders.
Sound Position Is Aim
However, directors decided to
reduce the third-quarter divi-
dend in the interest of main
tanning a strong reserve posi-
ton and a sound, realistic lend
ing policy, he said.
Recent amendments made
by Congress to the Federal in
come-tax law require that a
substantial tax be paid by saw
ings and loan associations, thus
lowering the net earnings
available for dividends" Mr..
Statdler said. "In recent months
there has been less opportunity
to place sound real estate loans
on residences at an interest

Care Of Street Trees
Is Serious Problem

walks or compete with grass
and shrubs in adjoining lawns
In some cities the property
owner must pay for the replace
ment Of root damaged side
walks; in most cities the city
pays for the replacement OF
damaged curbs.
Diseases Increase
The disease problem seems to
be ever on the increase. The
American elm is definitely I'M
desirable because Of the disease
hazard. tn cost of protecting
1t from the disease-spreadinp
elm bark beetle, and the never
ending cost of repairing side
walks and curbs damaged by
the shallow growing roots.
The American sycamore Is
able to Withstand city condi-
tons but the anthracnose dis
ease. which has spread across
the Nation. causes both foliage
loss in the spring and dying
twigs and branches throughout
the year, makes 1t undesirable
The horsechestnut which used
to be a source of complaint be-
cause Of the nuts that made
walking hazardous, Is not
troubled with leaf blotch and
leaf scorch-spraying has thus
become too much Of a mainte-
nance cost.
The sugar maple with its
brilliant fall colors, the dog
wood and the sweet gum require
too much care to be useful in
the city. Washington seems
to be beyond the zone where
the sugar maple will thrive as
a city street tree. The silver
maple is a dirty tree and much
troubled by disease and is de-
Structive to walks and curbs.
The tulip poplar and the yell
lowwood are receiving some at
tention although they are best
planted in the spring-a limited
period for the planting crews.
The pin oak has obtained q
destructive scale insect from
somewhere and also because OF
its dropping branches is no
longer considered a desirable
street tree for this area. The
elm leaf beetles are q problem
on the Chinese elms. The
thornless honey locusts are
plagued by the mimosa web
worm, which is much more in
furious to them than to the
mimosa tree.
