SAVINGS AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION SHOWS
STEAY PROGRESS
Elsewhere in this issue of the
Boerne Star there appears the
year-end statement of the Com-
munity Savings and Loan Asso-
ciation of Fredericksburg, indi-
cating that it enjoyed another
outstanding year in growth and
community services to maintain
its claim of being the largest
savings institution in the Texas
Hill Country.
A review of last year’s opera-
tions reveals that assets grew
almost two million dollars. Eight
hundred sixty-nine new savings
and investment accounts were
opened, with a total of $1,156,-
167.56, while more than three
hundred seventy-five loans were
made, principally for the pur-
pose of assisting families in this
community to own, improve and
refinance homes.
There are now more than two
hundred fifty savings and loan
associations doing business in
Texas and their assets, in excess
of three billion dollars, repre-
sent percapita holdings of more
than $330.00 and an increase of
107% in the past five years.
There are now more than six
thousand savings and loan asso-
ciations in the United States,
with total assets at the end of
1961 (last accurate figures a-
vailable) of over eighty-five
billion dollars. In the same year,
1961, more than two billion dol-
lars were paid to savers as earn-
ings on their accounts. This
compares with 1950 figures of
5,992 associations with total re-
sources of $16 billion.
In 1961, more than twenty-
seven billion dollars was put in-
to savings and loan associations
by the saving public, which rep-
resents a gain of $8.7 billion af-
ter $19 billion had been with-
drawn by account-holders to
make purchases and invest-
ments for which the savings
had originally been started. This
is actual proof that money in a
savings and loan association ac-
count is readily available when
needed.
In 1962, savings and loan as-
sociations in the United States
lent out $2.5 billion, principally
for buying, building and refinan
cing homes and select business
properties. This represents 18%
more than any previous year
and was 44% of the nation’s
total home mortgage financing.
In the spring of 1961, there
were approximately 54.3 million
occupied dwelling units in the
United States. Of these, 33.9
million were owner-occupied as
compared with 23.6 million in
1950. This represents a gain of
nearly 45% and is more than
double the number in 1940.
While home ownership tends
to rise as family income in-
creases, home owners are to be
found in all income catergories.
The availability of mortgage
credit is among the important
factors which have made the
ownership of homes possible for
the typical family who requires
mortgage financing to achieve
ownership status. Last year,
savings and loan associations fi-
nanced the construction of ap-
proximately 400,000 dwelling
units, and altogether savings
and loan associations last year
supplied funds for the purchase
of homes by 1.1 million Ameri-
can families. It is only reason-
able to expect that such records
could never have been achieved
without the advanced ownership
plan of the savings and loan in-
dustry.
It is noteworthy that private
sources supply all of the savings
oi savings and loan associations.
None originate from the U. S.
treasury or from agencies of the
government. Individuals are the
principal account-holders but
joint accounts, as of husbands
and wife or husband, wife, and
children, are quite common.
Trust funds and Organizations
of various types are gaining in
importance as holders of savings
accounts in associations.

cere appreciation to all our
