PROTECT LENDER AND BORROWER.
The East Adopting the Plan and the Leg
islation on the Subject.
IT FAILED IN PITTSBURG IEAES AGO
iwumiar fob the msrxTcn.1
In a crcvious chapter in The Dispatch
on "How to Get Alone" I indicated in a
general and desultory fashion some of the
.. various "ways and means" by which
building associations might be improved.
Such associations are both a protest against
the insecurity Sf savings banks and a sub
stitute for them, combining greater safety
and economy in their methods and results.
But with all the advantages of these asso
ciations, and no one admits them more
freely than I do, they are not without some
very material drawbacks, and my purpose
in these observations is to induce the build
ing associations of to-day to hold fast,"
in the words of the Apostle, "to that which
is good," and improve as far as possible
on the past. I start out with this proposi
tion, that these associations arc susceptible
of improvement. I can easily recall in
stances in the earlier days of some of these
associations in Pittsburg where the di
rectors purchased large tracts of land and
sold the same to the associations which they
were apparently "directing," thus intro
ducing the Jay Gould Construction Com
pany methods into what ought to be purely
mutual beneficial associations. Time and
experience have educated the stockholders
of these associations, and such speculations
would hardlv be permitted at this day.
One fact became apparent in the early
days of these associations. They were fair
weather concerns. Like the light-draught
shallops ot Columbus, they were not de
signed to stand a heavy sea. They were
not constructed to meet storms or panics, or
conditions in which the member lor lack of
regular work was
ra-ABw: TO TAY
his regular dues. If he was a non-borrower,
of course, he could withdraw when the
"dark clouds gathered," but if he had bor
rowed and paid say, one-half or one-third
on this humble home, it was a very
different thing. When the borrowing
member failed to pay his dues the
association ' had to protect itself.
When it became a question whether
the association should lose orthc delinquent
member, it soon became evident that this
mutual association was almost as stony
hearted as banks or other corporations, and
exercised its foreclosure rights as a matter
of self preservation.
It was apparent that such associations as
generally operated at present, were adapted
to flush times. They do not thrive when
their member.? are out of work, and thus
the strength of the chain is no stronger than
its weakest link. But lack of employment
is not the only test of these associations.
Suppose the borrower and "home builder"
gets sick or dies. "What then? The case
at this juncture islike that of theoldsalt who
fcU overboard. The spectators on the dock
suggested.one a rope,another a plank, while
the "salt" elevated his head lor a moment
to remark that "something had to be done
d quick." If somebody does not step
into the unfortunate's shoes as a "due
payer," the "something" that ensues
pretty quickly is something that Bounds
very much like the word foreclosure. The
association looks out for No. 1, and the
member goes to the wall.
All this is preliminary to the observa
tion that associations ot this kind, which
have to take the times good and bad as
they come, should be adapted, so far &s hu
man prudence can do it, to protect its mem
bers in good as well as bad times. There is
probably no effectual remedy to protect a
defaulting member against his own default.
The association musthave "dues," forwith
out "dues" it must cease operations.
THE EASTEKIT IDEA.
In the East some attempts have been
made in real estate associations to lessen
the hardships of a member's default in this
way. Part of the agreement is that if the
member, from any cause, becomes embar
rassed and unable to meet his payments,
then instead of being sold out by the shcrin
and the accumulations of years, perhaps,
swept away, and to prevent arbitrary legal
proceedings and the undervaluation of
property caused by a forced sale, the entire
accumulation that may have been originally
intended as purchase money will be drawn
upon, and applied as rent until such accu
mulation becomes exhausted, when the
property will revert to the company or socie
ty without loss or expense to either party.
lint even this plan, though just to both
parties, is not without some drawbacks.
What, then, is the true remedy? Obvi
ously a combination of the life insurance
with the building association features. The
building association of to-day very properly
insists on a fire insurance policy to protect
what? Its mortgase investment. But the
member without a life insurance policy his
no certainty of protection lor his invest
ment in case of death or sickness. The as
sociation protects its interests by insurance.
Why should not the member "protect his
interests in the same way ? Is there any
fair answer to this, but one ?
In the East the tendency is strongly in
inis airection, ana wnere omidlng associa
tions fail o adopt it, the trust companies
have taken their place and much of their
membership. The building and life insur
ance features are combined generally with
these provisions:
WHAT THE BORROWER CAN DO.
If the borrower finds that his income is
inadequate to meet his payments he has the
option of changing from a shorter to a
longer period, thus making his payments
lighter and overcoming what under other
arrangements lead to foreclosure of mort
gage. If, on the other hand, an increased in
come justifies him in making larger pay
ments, ne can shorten the period originally
agreed upon and complete his contract in a
less number ot years, thus saving big inter
est Or he may terminate the contract at any
time by paying the present worth on a 4 per
cent basis af all the deferred annual install
ments. Orlin case of death the mortgage is can
celed, the property reverting to the borrower's
heirs in fee simple.
Take an ordinary illustration of its op
eration: A person aged say 30 wishes to
buy only a 52,000 home. He makes a cash
payment under this system of $323 64, and
at the end of a month thereafter begins and
continues his monthly payments as follows:
PRICE OF HOUSE, $2,000.
Age, 30. Eo. of monthly payments, 132.
ot the mortcace. The scheme
title insurance companies shal
persons as may desire them homes, and whose
lives the insurance companies will itsure, also
the real estate, taking as security a mortgage
upon the property as well as the insurance) thus
effected.
JPayable by JTonthly Installments.
The purchaser is to pay a monthly install
ment covering the interest on the money in!
vested, the premium upon the life insurance
policy and a small advance npon tho principal
of the purchase. In case of the death of the
purchaser the insurance money will be suffi
cient to discharge the mortgage and thus leave
the home unincumbered to the family of the
deceased. In case of a forfeiture of payment
the property sold is taken by the title insur
ance company under the terms of tho mort
gage, and the purchaser loses the amount of
premiums advanced on the life insurance and
the interest on the mortgage.
A PITTSBURO IDEA.
Is it not a little singular that this com
bination of house building and insurance,
.which now finds such favor in the East,
was tried in Pittsburg about 16 vears ago
bv the well known millionaire, Ralph Baga-
ley, and met with such a cool reception that
Ralph dropped the experiment right there
and went on making his millions in switch
signals and engines, etc, while the work-.
ingman and home builder continued to
blow his "surplus" into the old-fashioned
building association or "savings banks,"
which do not "save."
JNlr. Bairalev's plan combined novelty.
philanthropy and business in this way:
He owned several hundred acres at Wild
wood Park, near the terminus of Lincoln
avenue, and just over the city line. His
venture was a plea for better sanitary con
ditions, lower taxes, personal comfort, and
more rational eniovment than the average
clerk or artisan could procure in the city.
Large lots were laid out on a park plan and
11 handsome dwellings, ranging in price
from $750 for a handsome three-room Swiss
cottage on lot 40x100, to the more preten
tious $3,000 11 or 12-roomed villa, with two
"broad acres." The hand money for the
Swiss cottage was but 5100, and the balance
was payable in rent at 510 per month. A
hand payment of 5500 secured the larger
cottage, "and the balance was payable in
rent at 535 per month. The buildings were
erected on the latest approved plans,
aesthetic in style, the material and work
manship being far superior to that of or
dinary contract houses.
A hall for concerts and public gatherings
was one of the features of the "infant col
ony," and many inducements were offered
the "better elenient" to select a rural home
at a moderate figure. The landscape was
inviting. The "dsep tangled wildwood"
was there in all its riotous beauty, and the
main thoroughfare was, if I remember
aright, as picturesquely beautiful as the
hedge lanes in the rural districts of "merrie
England."
OK A HIGH MORAL PLANE.
There was no provision forsaloons or pool
rooms, or such social adjuncts as are fonnd
in larger commnnities, but the publio hali
opened up opportunities lor the discussion
of grave affairs of state. Shanty life and
the ways of the slums were to be unknown
Everything was on a highly moral and
aesthetic plane, so much so that Phil
Knox, of Knox & Reed, jocosely remarked
to the projector that "the essential qualifi
cations for a resident in the "colony"
seemed to be membership in the Episcopal
unurcn ana ability to play the cornet.
The ground plan and environment seemed
to contemplate an ideal American commu
nity, where all the virtues and graces might
thrive, and the Sheriff and the Taxgather
might starve. And the financial induce
ments were not the least attractive feature.
A comparison between Wildwood and the
East End was made, thus:
At tlie East End,
ineffectual protest, is still abroad, if possi
ble, more rapacious than ever. Ana now,
after lying dormant nearly two decades, the
Bagaley germ springs up again through the
stony soii of experience and promises to be
one of the wisest, most practical and most
beneficent features of the "Building Asso
ciation of the Future."

Attest:
What was the result? I was present at
the "formal opening," and well remember
with what relish the toiler enjoyed the
free ride to the grounds, and the free lunch in
the public hall, and his gushing admiration
for the shrubbery that Shenstone might
have envied, but when it came to buying a
villa five miles from a "sample room," there
might have been heard expressions of,
"Where will we get our beer?" "When
does the last train leave Pittsburg?" "This
spring water is rather soft in summertime,"
and so on, and so on, and the result was
that the eloquence of Auctioneer Drape
wasted its fragrance on the desert air," and
the curtain was rolled down on this Arca
dian picture, with the Drapish remark, that
"if anybody wanted further information
about the ground or buildings it can be had
at my office."

After a mysterious absence of two weeks one of our buyers has re
turned and explains his prolonged trip by a gorgeous display of fairy
like goods that, to quote his own expression: "Come straight from fairy
land." Dainty articles fashioned by the deft fingers of elfin beauties.
Articles so delicate and lovely in design, so extremely reasonable in
prices, that we are charmed by the surprise and are going to give our
friends an equal share of it. Looking at them in admiration, one can
almost fancy the imaginary little sprites at work. We are going to treat
the public to a peep into this wonderland by a grand window display,
the design to be taken from the original fairy palace, where our buyer
was kept captive. His release could only be obtained under the ransom
of a large purchase of their wares (fairies not included) and knowing
the sensation it would create in the matter-of-fact world of commerce,
he willingly purchased the entire stock- We wish to impress every one
with the real beauty and value of these goods and we don't want them
to miss our beautiful window display, which will convey an idea of how
magnificent our miniature fairy land is that we
store.
