and loan commissioner for the year
ending September 30, shows that the
your started with fourteen building
and loan associations in the state. Dur-
ing the ycIII one assotiation, the Meri-
den mutual, went out of existence, and
I"one more, lhe Stamfoid Building and
Loan Assotiatiou will have ceased to
exist by the end of 1907.
in spite of the acute financial de
pression of the past year, the assets oi
, the associations show a. net increase
of 393.972.59, the total assets amount-
ing to $1,898,829.99. The number of
shares issued during the year showed
an increase of 1,7199%.
There was a decrease in the value
of real estate owned of $2,247.92. and
but one property remains in the
hands of the associations. Tito real
- estate loans increased $77.243l87.
Of all the associations, eight show-
ed an increase in assets and live loss
es. The greatest increase was made.
by the Mcrtdcn Permanent Building
and Loan Association, $75,282 ’ .87, while
the aggregate losses of the five usso
(lotions show a decrease of 347389.31.
in speaking of the year‘s work, Mr.
Corbin says, “Without doubt the past
year has been unusually hard for the
wage earlier. and it has been much
more difiiuit to save titan when lmsl
ncss conditions were more favorable.
yet the position of our building and
loan associations showed that; the very
commendable habit of saving is gaining,
around, and it. is due to this fact that
the associations have made so satis
factory a record under prevailing con-
dittons.”

PRESIDENI RESISIIS
W. H. Newman. lor Eight Years at
Head oi the System
NEW YORK. Dec. 22.—After forty
years of railroad service. eight; of
which was spent as head of the great
New York Central system, William
H. Newman today tendered his resig~
nation as president of the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company. The, directors accepted the
resignation to take effect. February 1
next. While Mr. Newman wished to
make his retirement ronI railroad life
complete, it is said that. as a result
of pressure brought bear upon him
by his fellow directo s be may retain
his seat as a member of the directing
board. His successor as president of
the road has not, been chosen.
Although Mr. Newman‘s retirement I
had been discussed at frequent inter-
vals.during the past two years, his
resignation today came as a surprise.
it was placed before the board of
directors in a. formal letter in which
Mr. Newman said that he believed the
time had come when heshould be "re:
iievod of the strain and burdens which
are necessarily incident to a position
of such responsibility as he held.
"i believe 1 have worked hard
enough and long enough." he wrote.
“to now take more leisure and free
debt from care than is possible for one
who is the executiIIe of a great sys-
tom such the the New York Central
lilies. to enjoy."
in accepting the resignation, the di.
rectors adopted a. resolution “appre-
ciating the service he has rendered,
the harmony which prevails through-
out the management and. the coopera-
tion which the board has always had
from him." The resolution declares
that it is with regret that. they con-
sent to Mr. Newman’ 5 relinquishment
0f the office "which he held so long
and filled so well." ,
