Many Loans Made
During Past Year
The building, savings and loan
associations of Xorth Carolina
made the largest amount of loans
during 1939 that they have in the
past decade, it was announced hy
Martin F. Gaudian of Raleigh,
Executive Secretary of the North
Carolina Building and Loan
League. These home financing
Institutions made last year total
loans of approximately $25,600,-
000 enabling over 15.000 indi
viduals to construct, purchase, re
finance or repair their homes.
This record breaking total repre-
j^epjls an increase of more than
fJ3,000,000 ov. 1938. The larg
est increase in type of loans was
in construction of new homes for
which $10,956,000 was loaned
during 1939. During the past
year 3.400 homes, to the value of
$5,500,000, were purchased
through these local institutions.
The balance of $9,000,000 was
loaned for 'refinancing, repairs,
modernization and miscellaneous
purposes. Gaudian also predicted
that the building and loan and
'Federal savings and loan associ
ations would show a combined to
tal increase of over $10,800,000

annual gains in the past decade.

In Sale Of Beer-Ale
Raleigh. Feb. 10.—North Car
olina consumed 301.700 barrels
of beer and ale during 1939 as
compared with 264.025 barrels in
1938, There are 31 gallons to a
barrel.

crease in eonsiimption. North Car-
j olina sfll lags in consumption as
' compared with other slates, ac
cording to the Brewers and North
Carolina Beer Distributors Com
mittee. The per capita consump
tion in this state is not quite
three gallons, while the nation's*
per capita coii.siimption is twelve
, and a half gallons—more than
four time.s the per capita con- ’
] sumption in North Carolina.
' Although North Carolina is
' way down the list on the basis of
I per capita consumption, the beer
I industry pays the state and its
; various political subdivisions al
most $1,500,000 annually in tax-'
es and licen.se fees. If this state
consumed as much as the aver-.
age for the nation, more than
.$6,000,000 would he paid into
the state treasury annually.
The past year also witnessed
the rapid expansion of the beer
industry’s program of active co
operation with local law enforce
ment officers to eliminate anti
social conditions wherever they
may surround the sale of beer.
Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, state
director in charge of the beer
industry’s “clean up or close up”
campaign in North Carolina, an
nounced that the beer licenses of
46 dealers have been revoked as
a result of the committee’s drive
against unde-sirable beer outlets.
