Savings, Loan Firm Okayed by Federal Board in Decatur
The Federal Home Loan Bank Board approved an application by Decatur area men to form a second federal savings and loan association in Decatur. Attorney Kenneth Shelton said the group is organizing and must raise about a half million dollars in capital subscriptions, with 350 subscribers previously pledging $500,000. The new association aims to serve Morgan, Lawrence and Limestone counties, and may open in temporary quarters before building or leasing a facility. A nearby area accident injured one person near Hartselle, with John Michael Hogan treated and released.
