(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 3. (Special.) Another
year of prosperous growth hss gone Into
fclstory for the building and loan associa
tion ef Nebraska. The showing of th
twelrt month exceeds even the expecta
tions of the sanguine and demonstrates
undeniably that the associations hare been
great fsctor In the building of homes
throughout the state, as wrll as having af
forded a wide and profitable field for In
vestment, In the rear ending June 30 the number of
bares of all assnclatlon In force In
creased from 119.P85 to 130.085 and the
loans Increased from I3.641.4C1 to $4,090.
ttS. The total business transacted was
13,078,931. SO. At the end of the period there
were flfty-sU associations doing business,
a Increase of one during the year. -The
figures are taken from the annua!
tatemcnt Issued by Secretary Royse of the
State Banking Board. Mr. Royse expected
substantial increase In loans, but he
thought the number of shares In force would
be about the same as a year ago. He based
this estimate upon the reports from the as
sociation In the smaller towns, which suf
fered through competition with the tontine
building associations. Later returns, how
ever, coming mostly from the cities, showed
a good Increase In all items. The Itemised
statement follows:
