with shares . subscribed. 20,600 par
valuo of $2,060,000, and at the begin
ning ot the year 3000, we have -the
gratifying result of having in exis
tence 05 associations (of whom 13
have failed to make report) but the
52 reporting show the enormous lu
3teaso since t.he formation of thl?
league, and which I assert has been
:iaccuraplishcd, through the puhJiGli
and persistence by It. of 85.427 shares
o a par value of $8,542,700", or an in
crease Of 400 per cent In three years.
"Those present, knowing tho good
and beneficent results these associa
tions have accomplished in ojir respec
tive communities, have cause for re
joicing in the contemplation of the
good these association will accom
plish throughout the wholo State. At
cur last meeting, this league had a
membership of 13 associations, since
which time the following have joined
us, to-wlt: Llncolnton, Bine Ridge,
Burlington, GaKonia and Kinston,
to all of whom I am suro we
extend the hand of fellowship and
hearty welcome, and while we can
show but IS association as composing
br league, it Is gratifying. to know
that they represent 5.000,000 shares
of the par value of $5,1)00,000, which
is 70 per cent of all the shares in force
in tho State.
"At two of our previous meeting I
suggested njid urged Iho advisabilit'
of having for this State a building and
loan commission (as is in existence
in many of the states lu the union)
and now at our (thJrd meeting I am
still more convinced than ever before
of the necessity of such a commis
sion. Most of you gentlemen will rem em
iier that tho league endeavored tr
hiive such a measure passed by our
legislature, but finding opposition
thereto from certain interested quar
ters w-e. for the sake of harmony
among ourselves, though very reluc
