rho Lancaster 15 and L Assocla |
tion Disbanded ,
The Lancaster Building and
Loan Association, pursuant to
r< solutions passed at the last
meeting of tlie stockholders, is
rapidly winding up its uffairs, and
is now about a thing of tho past.
The heavy taxes of the association 1
last year was the causo of its un? (
joing. The last series ot its slock (
had been running just three years. .
Wo regretted to see this associa (
tion disband. During tho leu or
? (
twelve years of its cxisttr.ce it
. <
was the means of many young
men saying upfreui their monthly
Rurnings a few dollars, to say
nothing of the many new cottages
jotted ovor the tcwu that proli1
I
ibly would never have been erected
but for the assistance of the
building atul loan. It has added
;onsidorablo to the taxable prop
arty of tho town anil the regrot is
general that it has become dofnnct.
