Building Assn Bill Attacked in Baltimore Hearing
In Baltimore a public hearing before the Legislative Council heard opponents and supporters of a bill to place building and loan associations under state supervision. Paul M. Higginbotham argued the plan would crush smaller firms while transforming large associations into discount banks. Proponents cited protection for 138,000 Maryland shareholders, with a representative noting nine of 31 associations at a meeting were federal concerns. The bill would create the Board of Homestead Building and Loan Association Commissioners and require audits and license fees up to 350 dollars.
