COOPERATIVE HOME BUILDING
Aoansl Vesting of the State League of
Bailding and Loan Associations.
SYNOPSIS OF THE PAPLRS PBESENTED
4 Seaalea Notable for Local Interest
Show la the Proceeai
Satlatactorr Prrn la
a A ear.
The fourteenth annual convention of the
Nebraska League of Local Building and
Loan Associations was held In Auburn last
Thursday. All the old-timers identified with
the league since its organisation were
present, and many newcomers were in at
tendance as delegates and visitors. Ths
distinguishing feature of the meeting was
the Interest of the locul people in the pro
ceedings and the hospitable treatment of
the delatea. Quite a number of cltlsens
attended the afternoon session and in thj
evening the hall was crowded with men
and women Interested In homes and home
ownership The Interest In the league was
accentuated at the banquet later In the
evening when 150 fathers and mothers, sons
and daughters welcomed the delegates to
the banquet hall.. The banquet was ten
dered by the Auburn Commercial club and
the Southeastern Building and Loan aaao
rlatlon, and was served by the dining
club of the Methodist church. Speechmak
Ing, Inters permed with music, continued un
til after midnight. The delegates were
called upon to enlighten the audience on
the principles and methods of co-operailve
thrift and hoine getting and the advantages
offered by associated effort, and did so with
marked effect. Although the talks were
largely technical and statistical, the audi
ence paid the speaker he tribute of close
attention to the ep-l
Public meetings for an exposition of co
operation as exemplified by associations
haa long been the hope of members of the
league as a feature of their annual meet
ings. The Auburn association was the Arst
to give encct to an educational plan deemed
beneficial alike to local associations and
the community, and the marked success of
the effort Is an example of well directed
enterprise that may be followed with profit
by associations In other cities.
A Year of Prosperity.
In his opening address President Bentley
of Grand .Island congratulated the dele
gates on the fact that their associations
shared In the general prosperity of the
past year. "Our statistics." he said, "do
not come down to as recent a date as we
might wish, owing to the fact that the
annual reports are made on July J of each
year, but yet these reports, though some
what belated, are of great value for the
pur pone of comparison and deserve careful
and thoughtful study. Comparing the year
ending June 30, 1904, with that ending
June 30, 1903, we find that the number of
associations has increased from fifty-nine
to sixty and total assets have Increased
during this period from tS.343.C9 38 to SS.21T.
350.40. The number of borrowing stockhold
ers has Increased from 7.40 to 10. 193 and
there has been a corresponding Increase in
the total receipts and disbursements. The
reserve has increased from 1102.470.31 to
tlt4.S32.tO, the percentage of the reserve at
the beginning of the period being a trifle
over 3 per cent and at the close of the
period a trifle over ?H per cent. On the
other hand, the real estate held by asso
ciations has been reduced from 1102.153.83
to $, 96. A year, then. In which there
has been a marked Increase in the volume
of business an Increase not - only In the
total volume of the reserve, but ' In the
proportion that the reserve beers to lia
bilities end at the same time a reduction
In that undesirable asset real estate can
justly be called a prosperous one."
Defective Mortgaaes.
Judge John A. Story of Omaha presented
the most Important paper tJf the session,
dealing with association mortgages. He
directed attention to the statute govern
ing building and loan associations which
provides that "good and ample real estate
security, unencumbered, should be glen by
the borrower." This means that the bor
rower must have an absolutely perfect
legal title of record. to the real estate ten
dered, and that the mortgage when ac
cepted Is a Hrst lien thereon. "While the
records," said Judge Story, J'show an ab
solutely perfect legal title In the borrower,
a record that will pass without question the
scrutiny of the most learned and palntstak
ing attorney, yet at best we can be only
morally certain from the records alone that
the owner la the absolute owner of the
property." A number of facts and circum
stances may exist that would defeat title
in whole or in part and these are not re
vealed by the records. Among these facts
and circumstances are forgery, convey
ances made by minors, failure of one or
more heirs to an estate to sign the deed,
a prior unrecorded mortgage or deed, pos
session, and unrecorded mechanics' liens,
each of which he explained in detail and
the decisions of th courts bearing on them.
There are other circumstances not revealed
by the records that materially affect the
rights of the association In regard to the
mortgage accepted by it, but thoae pointed
out. he declared, "were sufficient to sansfy
us that the officers of associations whose
business it is to pass upon and accept these
mortgages have no sinecure if they do their
whole, duty." -
' wataallsatlen of Reaoarevs.
Hon. E. Royse, secretary of the State
Banking board, discussed the present
tendency to mutuallsation of resources la
every field of human activity. Concentra
tion, consolidation and advancement, he
said, was the rule In commerce. Industry,
In the professions as wall as among em
ployers and employes. "The same economic
reason that leads to the concentration of
capital in vast railway and kindred en
terprises is forcing the small wage earner
and Investor to look to co-operative in
stitutions for avenues leading to oppor
tunity and investment. The small Investor
Is timid and untrained, but gradually a
knowledge of the opportunities your insti
tutions offer Is becoming known to this
class, and aa Its knowledge widens and its
wisdom grows will your institutions feel
the effects. 1 know, of no Institutions pro
vided for the care of the earnings of the
people that offers such a field of .useful
ness as the building and loan association;
where well managed. So potent and use
ful is its mission that it becomes almost
a philanthropic Institution, and you gentle
men owe it to your associations and to the
peoplo they are organised to serve, to not
only discharge your trust with fidelity, but
to organize and systematize your insti
tutions that they may to the fullest extent
and to the greatest degree serve the - de
pendent .interests that come to them for
counsel, shelter and relief. lit all the lit
tle savings of the people that are lost In
the various schemes promoted try glib
ton gued and dishonest solicitors could be
brought to your treasuries, not only would
your institutions have a phenomenal grow t It
and a wider field of usefulness, but the
cities, towns and villages of the state
would witness such a growth of material
wealth as would astonish even the most
optimistic." .
Postalar Kallarlea.
O. T. GU more of Omaha presented a pa
per on "Popular Fallacies Regarding
Building and Loan Associations." One pop,
ular misconception of thera, he said, if
that they are organized for a very limited
ne!d of operation. It has not been the
popular thought that they should grow to
any such proportions as they now assume,
there being at this time In the United
Btates t.OdO such associations, with a mem.
bershlp o( l.S0O.0f people, and aggregate
holdings of $,uoj,0i. This fallacy should
be overcome for the good, of . the people by
more persistent and aggressive advertising
by-association managers, to. the end that
all savings business mays be handled on the
mutual plan.
Another mistake' with many people Is
that such associations are good tor the in
vesting class, but very expensive for the
borrowing class. That this Is not the cage
was shown by statistics that 85 tier cent of
straight or time loans are never paid oft,
but are either extended indefinitely or the
property final! lost to tho owners through
foreclosure proceedings, while on the other
hand at least 75 per cent of building asso
ciation loans are Anally, paid off and 'the
mortgages released. The further fact was
commented on that In this state the In-,
vesting class cannot receive beyond 7' per
cent per annum dividends on their paid-up
stock, which is diminished by a tax ef 14
to Z per cent, while the borrower's stock,
having but little value, pays but little. If
any, tax. '
The popular' fallacy that borrowers of
such associations pay usurious rates of In
terest was shown not to be the case, and
that borrowers on . the association plan
really pay out fewer dollars to discharge
an association loan than - to discharge a
straight or time loan.
The difficulty whlcn the tag assessors
have in disassociating building and loan
savings from the ordinary deposits In a
savings bank was also touched on, ss well
as other less Important fallacies, the
thought being that associations and as
sociation ideas have grown clear beyond
the popular conception, and that it is the
duty of association managers to dispel
these erroneous Ideas by a greater pub
licity and more extensive advertising.
Yalae ef Advertising.
The subject of sdvertislng snd Its Im
portance in broadening the held of associa
tion work was also brought up by E. V.
Smith of Omaha, who read a brief paper on
the subject. The discussion which followed
shewed ths drift of active managere to be
strongly to aid neaspaper advertising ss
the most effective means of producing re
sults. Charles O.' Frencn of Auburn read an
extended review of the decisions of courts
on questions affecting associations.
An invitation 'to meet In ' Seward next
year was aecerted.
The following officers were elected: Presi
dent, G. M. Nsttinger of Omaha; first vice
president, A. Trusdell of Fremont; second
vice president, H. A. Graff of Seward; third

BETTER STREETCAR SERVICE
Tea Mlaate svhedale for Daadea and
Move Cars Harney, Dodge
and Faraaas Streets.
Improved service during the rush hours
on the Farnam, Hsrney and Dodge street
ctr lines is snouunced by Superintendent
Tucker, to ' become effective June 1. Be
sides this the Farnam street service to
Dundee is to he doubled by having the
cars run through to the western suburb
every ten Instead of avery twenty minutes.
This has been brought about by repeated
requests from- westenders and the fact that
there is a great dml of building In and
near Dundee and the patronsge of the ex
tension Is ' Increasing remarkably fast.
More cars will be placed on the Harney
street line during the rush hours, which
are from i-Xt to 8 50 In the morning and
from 4:30 to t:tn at night, meaning a five
minute service or less during the busy
period. For the rest of the day the old
ten-minute schedule will be adhered to. To
meet the demand on Farnam street the old
rush hour service, which meant a car
every two or three minutes, will be fur
ther bettervd, and the sven-mlnute serv
ice on the Dodge line will be reduced to
something like four minutes through the
hurry up spaces.

GOES TO ELBOURN ;F0R LIGHT,
City Attorney of Xorfolk Wants la.
formation on Filling; Vacancy
In Council.
City Attorney Weatherby of Norfolk was
In Omaha Saturday endeavoring to ascer
tain the proper way for the mayor and
city council of Norfolk to go about filling
a vacancy in the council.
By removing to another ward a. council,
man recently forfeited his right to the
office, which is worth In salary Just about
Ii5 a year. As the charter governing clth-e
the size of Norfolk Is somewhat vague on
the subject of lining vacancies and Onixha
has had some experience In this line. Mr.
Weatherby Journeyed to the metropolis.
Local lawyers whom he consulted referred
him to City Clerk Elbourn, who promptly
advised the Norfolk attorney how to pro
ceed in the premises.
.This is not the first time that Mr. El
bourn has been called upon for advice in
legal questions. This time he modestly
offered to refer Attorney Weatherby tJ
the city attorney, but the former Insisted
upon learning the correct procedure from
the city clerk and non other.
He was Informed that his council should
first pass an ordinance defining how vacan
cies In the official list were filled and then
set accordingly, eo as to bring the council
manic body up to Its full strength.
