Ago NY FAMILIAR NAMES APPEAR AMONG THE DIRECTORATE OF THE MT. JOY BUILDING AND SAVING ASSO. . 0, How many of you know or ever of the Mount Joy Building and Saving Association? The writer would say comparatively few. In 1869 there was such an organi- zation in Mount Joy. Its objects were exactly same as those of our Present Building and Loan Associa- tion, namely: “To loan money to its members for the erection of houses buildings, or to purchase real es- ite and to remove liens or other wcumberances upon real estate own d by its members, etc.” Shares sold for exactly the same amount then as they do today—$1.00 per share per month. The one vast difference between the Association then and now was: Whenever there was $200 in the treasury, instead of loaning it to ar applicant, it was put up for bidding among the members of the Associa- tion and the one paying the highest rate of interest, was given the loan. Today all borrowers pay the same rate of interest. The old company imposed a pen- alty of 25 cents upon each of its di rectors for non-attendance at the hour appointed. Officers and Directors It may be of interest to read the list of officers and directors of this Association of sixty-six years ago. They are appended: J. R. Hoffer, president.

Boro Council Applies For $41,000 of CWA Money The Work Includes Concreting & Raising Reservoir, New Turbine. Lake, Park, &c. President Althouse called a spec- ial meeting of Mt. Joy Boro Council last evening for the purpose of dis- cussing the advisability of applying for CWA funds and applying same to various projects here as Council sees fit. All the members of Council and the Burgess were present. Mr. Donaven stated that the ap- portionment throughout the United States was approximately $50 per person.
