Tenth Annual Report Of The Bureau Of Statistics Of Labor PDF Download

Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Connecticut: For the Year Ending November 30, 1894 Lack of comprehension of the true purposes of a saving and loan association, and of the principles upon which it should be conducted, is apparent, both in the provisions of the Connecticut law of 1850 and in the first report of the Bank Commissioners on. The subject. The law, in the first place, made the associations banks without throwing about them auv of the safeguards of banks. It is the busi ness of a bank to receive deposits, repayable at anv time. It is the business of a saving and loan association to safely invest the accumulated savings of its members. Its funds, consequently, should be tied up in mortgages of a fixed nature. It is di icult to reconcile the two businesses under one management. Either so large a reserve must be maintained as to make the undertaking unprofitable, or else, in the event of a sudden large demand for money, the association must collapse. There is the further danger involved in the fact that men may not be as careful in investing other people's money as when they are handling their own, and that advances for speculative purposes may result in disaster.
