The Lancaster Building and
Loan Association, pursuant to
resolutions passed at tlie last ^
meeting of tlio stockhohlers, is
rapidly winding up its affairs, and
is now about u tiling of the past.
The heavy taxes of the association
J rui
hist year "was the causo of its un- g
doing. The last series ot its stock an
had been running just three years.
Wo regretted to see this associa Qr
tiou disband. During the ten or

twelve years of its existence it
J co
was the means of many young
met. saying up from their monthly
earnings a few dollars, to say ^
nothing of the many new cottages ^
dotted over the tewn that prob
co
ably would never have been erect- j
ed tnit for the assistance of the
building and loan. It has added
considerable to the taxable prop
