A Report of the Ai
Savings and Loan
A REPORT OF THE FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND OTHER DATA
OF MEMBERS OF THE AMEItl
CAN SAVINGS AND LOAN .
LEACUE
-- - * . I
r
PREPARED BY
William.R. Hudgins, President
v ""r At the convention of the* American
-Savings and Loan League ir
Los Angeles last MQ.ve.iiihcii, t<h<
body instructed that the Presidenl
develop a set of statistics on tin
membership. A survey was under
taken last. spring among thg_ lj
members of the League primarily
to acquire a general picture 0 i
collectively, as of December Ml
1954. ;
f>M?i linnilnq ? nf iiiPnufmllm
on their condition in 19515 mad?
a . comparison with that year impossible^
Oil the other hand. rAmnnri,
? son with data which these lame in>
stitutionS provfded to the fl. S. De
--.partment of Commerce- for th<
year 1945) revealed that, notabh
growth took place during this fiv*
year periou. o
Before going into the report
however, !I wish ?o make one o;
two observations ih connectioi
with this data. Today there an
about :i0 Negro-owned and oper
atod associations in the Unitec
- States. Their aggregate standinj
e^ponly be a ma'tter for conjee
ture.
Until a few years ago consoli
dated reports orj, our savings am
loan associations were regularly i:
sued by the Commerce Department
as were reports on Negro-owne(
. , banks and insurance companies
With the change of Admjnistra
tion in Washington, the offici
which formerly compiled these re
ports was , abolished and thi
studies discontinued. Negro husi
nesx people have suffered othe;
disadvantages at the hands of thi
rrew Admin 1strationaism?The -in
formation which follows is an at
tpitint to fill thp can in olir nvvi
field.
\ ... '
General Financial Condition
Perhaps the most-^ strikinj
change in the past-five years wa
the roughly 430 per cent ipercasi
in aggreg'a-Ui assets- for- tho 17 re
- porting 'associations, going -fron
$13,782,405 in 1040 to $50,405,33
in 1054.
This tremendous growth wa
startlingly reflected in the valm
of savings accounts which amount
ed to only $11,030,(ill in 1040 bu
had risen to $50,230,|)01 five year;
later. These savings were held ii
19,541 individual accounts in 1054
There is no .figure! availab.l&jr'fu
comparison with 1040.
___!? Mortgage loans --ko-pt the j pace
Th 1049 the institutions surveyui
.. .. financed $11,728,813 in mortgages
whereas in 1054 their loan port
folios held $50,188,400 in mort
gages. i
With respect to moneys laid a
side for rcseryes, comparative
figures reveal a tendency towa'rt
greater consprvAtftsm/ For examph
in 10 1!*, some $589,775 - won
held in reserve, while in 105-1 re
serves were $2,993,330. This in
crease of about $500 per cent ii
roseu^Kjs ?staijds<N|ell abgva t h <
average increase of about 10 pe;
cent in other categories of ,thi:
report.
Character of Associations
The 17. reporting association:
are divided as follows: 10 charter
ed by the Federal?Home Loai
Bank Board; 5 are state mutua
associations; and 2 are state star!
associations. There were only fiv<
' federally chartered associations ii
11* 10. All institutions in 1954 wen
members of the..Federal Saying:
and Loan Deposit Insurance Cor
poratiop.
Dividend Rate ,
The 1954 dividend nyte for ITu
reporting associations * showed i
varied pattern. Only the institu
tion paid as high as ?4 per cent
but eight returned 3V& pea- cent tc
their members, six paid back 3 pei
cent, and two paid 2 per fcent.
.. The_ .associations for the firsl
time were asked for data about
directors and their occupations
number of employees, branch^aeti
<... vity if any, age of tVy; institutions
and industry affiliations. This in
formation too was enlightening.
Hoard of piVectors
? Physician.? and dentists as i
group outranked all other occupa
tions among those who make u j
the buard o? directors; follower
closely by insurance mem. lianking
executives, usually'association of
ficers, comprise the next largest
group. Other well represented vo
cations were realtors, educators
\ /.' '
nerican
League
' J lawyers, retail propriety s a n <!
t i government employees* However,
ai least 16 other catejf'>re> we;e
represented on the various hoards.
AntMiK. all instituHoi; there
were 17'J ttiTeVtors, wi'h ar average
(>f 10.5 persons pef hoard; l)e.
spite dhis average, there was no
relationship between the si?.a of a
Itoard an dthe value of an instituti
ion's ' assets. Four associations
found a lioard?of?if*- ore ml tors
t worsable; .'1 considered ei >ver. and
; others thought nine .satisfactory
- f< i* conducting toe business. Two
^ associations relied updll .ten,, and
r 3. others on five-meniher hoards,
I | wJiile three institutions .impended
| j uj>on 14, 8 and "t respectively. One
, l association witli?>iU^h4Ay?over n
half million dollars in jissets has a
t M-Milll hfl.tnl W hi 1 o aO'dhev with
; assets close to $7.000,000 functions
- with a fiver-member boiird.
. Personnel
There were 117 individuals <jjnj
ployed hy t.'ie reporti^R associa>
tions hired 14 full-tinte persons;
3 another, 12 full-time ond 2 parttime;
2 institutions, 10 full time
each, one of them usinR a paitr
time employee also.
-,\ Size of assets,-' -which would
B ordinarily indicate volifme of husi.

sarily a- jrailfte for esthuatinjr stafl
r needs. For example. thl institution

assets close to $7.000,()00; the twe
. institutions with 10 full-time work
j ers had $10,000,000 add $5,000;s
000 respectively.
| Branch Activity
Only one institution ^'as a state
- mutual founded in INK*, in iojv.i
c a second slate mutual was found
ed. Prior to 1021, six associations
u opened for business ami in the de

Last mgnt /\.n. jailer msnus;,
I tried my hand at figuring out a
magazine picture puzzle?the kind |
that shows things photographed
under a microscope and then blown
up-so-you can't tell what they are.
One really threw me! It looked like
a magnified portion of a chewed up
toothpick, but then again, it didn't.
"Hey genius," I yelled to Bill.
"Come here and help me out." ,
He studied the picture, identified
it as a close-up of a fly leg, and
retreated back to his paper saying,
"I'm not really a genius dear???>?t
quietly clever yu.u know."
Bill got a chalice to prove it a
minute later when I looked up the

"I mean it. Since a broom is one

"Here's what you do. Check out I'jj

they're curled. If not, proceed to '<

Who's Faster
- Culinary Deba
Recent .chums by electric i7ir.ee n
are "faster than gas" have stirred
decade.
?it seems tr,:.: one 61 the "big ?
boys" in electric appliances liciian |
proclaiming nationally tiiat the ; ,
..stoves with iIk; wire elements are??
"20 per cent faster' than the "flame j ^
type" rarrcrr: virtually. AccoJUij'.tt
to the rcii, th.e daiih was "proved"
-by stacking nr. electric .range with
a 2.Q00-wuti Ca!rod. burner up
against "four leading gas ranges"
(unidentified) in a water-boiling
contest. . '/
It cotild hhviyKoen", but wasn't. \
pointed out that such a burner is
so "souped up" that you need special
wiring an 1 proper voltage in
the house to feed it; and if you
. had tyyo or more of these gim
micks on an electric range, you'd
have to set up a sort of do-ityourself
"TVA in the back yard-to 1
sutiply th.e current they'd need. <
Furthermore ? and . here th.c j
whole it as industry real,y bejgina
to Broil?th.e electric test was made- ;
with ;i certain definite amount of I
water in an-aluminum utensil of 1
a certain definite size with abso- ;
lutci'y straight sales and a per- i
fcctly fiat bottom that covers the <
entire 9-ir.ch burner. 1

Fact of the matter is that while
cvcral pas range majitifacturcrs
have come out with burners that
lop the "fastest" electric range by
a considerable rohtgin, the gas ,jrange
indusf?V as a whole is concentrating,
GAMA says, on pro-'
ducing stoves that meet "more
W*?hcseF include ranges With top
burner heat controls that make an
"automatic utensil" of every pot
and;' pan in your home, special
simmer-type burners, broilers that
double as rotisserics and barbecue
pits, and devices that control the
donencss ' o{ roast anu puun ryT
among other things. 4
Maybe the answer lo the "who's
fester than what" question is being,
supplied by the homcmakcra
themselves. This year, GAMA re-;
