The annual
Shareholders meeting of.
Mutual Savings and Loan
Association was held
Tuesday, January 13, in
the lobby of the associa
tion's building, 112 West
Parrish Street.
Savers at Mutual Sav
ings and Loan Association
were paid a record amount
of interest last year, accor
ding to F.V. Allison, Jr.,
president of the Associa
tion. "The record high in
terest rates we paid savers
meant that we had to
charge higher rates to bor
rowers and those higher
loan rates, specially when
comotfted with continuing
high home prices,5
dampened the local mor
tgage market," Allison
said. "We paid
$1,089,521.12 in savings
accounts interest to our
depositors in 1980," he
continued, "the highest in
the association's history. .
Mutual Savings and Loan
Association's savings now
total $14,634,367.93 a
gain of $412,868.00 dur- ,
ing 1980. The savings
balance total is ajn all-time
high.". ; T-
Mutual Savings and
Loan Association loafned
$1,607,475.00 to" local
home buyqs irv 980. The
. asso(fiati6), now has- a
ded $90,748.00 to it's
reserves and the institu
tion continues to maintain
high reserve and liquidity
ratios. At year-end, the
assets reached a total of
$16,946,354.20."
In a year-end report to
customers, Allison said
"the 1980s hold great pro
mise for home lending in
stitutions such as Mutual
Savings in spite of a
slow beginning. The
population trends indicate
a record housing demand
nationally, and the local
housing demand should be
strong, too. It all depends
of how the leaders of this
country deal with inflation
and related problems."
Allison added, "Mutual
Savings will meet the
challenge and continue to .
serve the community with
its financial needs."
Members of the Board
of Directors re-elected for.
