INTRODUCTTON

Under the terms of Executive Order 9070,
certain changes were made in

dated February

24, 19L2,

the administrative organization of the Federal

Home Loan Bank Board and its affiliated agencies.

The Order provided for the

administration of the functions, powers, and duties of the Board, the Home
Owners' Loan Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation,
and the United States Housing Corporation, formerly a part of the Federal Works
Agency, in the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.

The Chairman of the

Federal Home Loan Bank Board was designated Commissioner of the new Administration,
The offices of the other four Members of the Board were vacated.
The creation of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration was undertaken
as one part of the larger reorganization and consolidation of 16 different
housing agencies into the National Housing Agency, which is now charged with
the general responsibility of coordinating and directing the housing activities
of the Federal Government.

The National Housing Agency consists of three

principal constituent units, of which the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration
is one.

The remaining two are the Federal Housing Administration and the

Federal Public Housing Authority.
In this reorganization, the corporate entities of the Federal Home
Loan Banks, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and the Home
Owners, Loan Corporation remain intact and their functions and purposes continue
without change.

Likewise, all outstanding obligations and contracts, orders,

rules, regulations, permits, and privileges continue in effect,

THE TEAR IN RETROSPECT

For the past several years, annual reports of this agency have been
introduced with a general discussion of current developments in the fields of
housing,

thrift,

and mortgage finance--the broad fields of activity in which

the Administration and its agencies are primarily concerned.

As a measure

of war-time economy, the current report has been reduced substantially in
size and carries, therefore, no comparable survey section.

Instead, the

following pages will give only a brief resume of major developments during
the 1942 fiscal year.
Residential Construction
The fiscal year 192 saw the first major break in the upward
movement of the building cycle which had proceeded without serious inter
ruption since the low point of 1933.
During the twelve months ending June 30, 19L2, approximately
650,000 new dwelling units were provided by public and private capital in
nonfarm areas, according to building permit data compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.

This compares with almost 700,000 units for the preceding

fiscal year, and represents a decline of seven percent*
The growing scarcity of critical materials available for housing,

the introduction of a housing priorities system in the fall of 1941, and
finally the virtual cessation of all nonessential building after April 1942
when the War Production Board issued a "Stop-Construction # order, have been




- 2-

reflected in a declining volume of residential construction since October 1941.
Because the demands of the war place a steadily increasing strain on available
supplies of both labor and materials used in the building of homes,

it

is

probable that the present downward trend will continue for the duration.

The Real Estate Market--Selected Trends
On the whole,

the real estate market continued to show a

satisfactory recovery during the 1942 reporting period.
real estate sales and transfers,
1941,

The volume of

particularly from July through December

reached a new post-depression high.

The decline in

the volume of new

residential construction during the last half of the fiscal year, however,
was reflected to some extent in

a slowing down of real estate sales activity.

Increased demands for existing properties tended to counter-balance this trend
and at the close of the reporting period, general market conditions represented
a distinct improvement over the close of the previous reporting period.
One of the strongest evidences of improving real estate market
conditions was the continued steady decline in
during the reporting period.

the volume of foreclosures

Each month saw foreclosures running from one

fifth to one-sixth below the corresponding month of the preceding year.
During the entire year, nonfarm real estate foreclosures totaled only 49,514
as compared with 68,432 a year previous,




a reduction of almost 28 percento

- 3 -

Foreclosures during the current reporting period were well below
total repossessions in 1926, the year generally considered the low point of
the previous foreclosure cycle.

Improvement in the general foreclosure picture

was widespread throughout the country.

Each of the Federal Home Loan Bank

Districts and all of the States showed a lower number of foreclosures during
the fiscal year 1942 than during the prior reporting period.

The number of

nonfarm real estate foreclosures during the last two fiscal years, by Federal
Home Loan Bank Districts and by States, will be found in Exhibit 1.
Real Estate Overhang
The steady and uniform improvement in the volume of foreclosures
accompanied by a rising volume of sales once more resulted in a very
substantial reduction in the volume of real estate held by mortgage lending
institutions.

During the calendar year 1941, the latest twelve-month period

for which figures are available, it is estimated that the book value of
residential property owned by selected types of financial institutions,
including savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial
banks, life insurance companies, and the Home Owners' Loan Corporation,

declined from $l,894,089,000* to $1,405,919,000, or almost 26 percent.
Although the current volume of repossessed properties held by
financial institutions in a few areas is still large enough to represent a
liquidation problem of some significance, the current rate of disposition,
coupled with the increasing necessity for a more intensive use of existing
housing facilities in war industry localities, indicates that the real estate
overhang is no longer a national problem of major importance.

Ninth Annual Report of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

In past years, the index of labor costs in building the standard
six-room frame house advanced more rapidly than did the cost of materials.
During the current reporting period, this relationship was reversed.

The

material index rose from 109.2 to 121.3, while the index of labor costs
increased from 118.6 to 127.8.
Home Mortgage Lending in 1941
During the calendar year 1941, it is estimated that the volume of
new mortgage loans written on nonfarm one- to four-family homes aggregated
$3,893,000,000 as compared with $3,354,000,000 during 1940.

This increase

of 16 percent resulted in a higher annual total than for any year since 1929.
The home mortgage lending activity of all private lenders showed
substantial gains during 191,

Savings and loan associations ranked first by

originating $1,379,000,000 in new loans, a gain of almost 15 percent over the
previous year.

Commercial banks and their trust departments loaned $798,000,00(

a figure 15.8 percent higher than the comparable figure for 1940.
life insurance companies increased 23 percent to $399,000,000.

Loans by

banks invested $171,000,000 in home mortgage loans as compared with $133,000,00(
the previous year, while individuals and others accounted for $1,083,00,000,,
a rise of 25.2 percent.

Exhibit 4 gives the estimated figures on mortgage

lending activity for the years 1929 through 1941, by type of lender.
Since detailed information on home mortgage lending activity is
available only on a calendar-year basis, it is impossible to project the
foregoing statistics through the fiscal year 1942.

However, information which

is available indicates that the close of the calendar year 1941 may have marked
a turning point in the home mortgage lending activity of all lending instituti on
Up to that time, the record volume of new residential construction and the large




-6-

number of sales of institutionally owned properties constituted a direct

stimulus to the demand for home mortgage credit.

Conversely, the sharp decline

in new construction after the first of the year is reflected in a slowing down
in the volume of home mortgage financing.

This trend is indicated by monthly

statistics on the volume of mortgage recordings of $20,000 or less.
Mortgage recording data have been collected for the last several
years by the Administration's Division of Operating Stattistics
1942,

By June

actual reports which are the basis for estimated totals were received

from approximately 675 counties containing 63 percent of the total nonfarm
population.

These data are received from every State and the District of

Columbia. A word of explanation should be made in connection with any
analysis of recording statisticso

The data include figures both on new

lending activity and on registrations which result from changes in mortgage
contracts as well.

Therefore, they cannot be taken as an accurate measure

of the volume of new lending.

However, the movement of recordings over a

period of time does give an excellent picture of trends in lending and
significant shifts in the activity of various classes of lending institutions.

During the fiscal year 1942, mortgage lenders throughout the country
recorded 1,537,314 nonfarm mortgages of $20,000 or less in the total amount
of $4,519,573,000.

Institutional lenders accounted for 75 percent of the

number and 83 percent of the dollar volume of these mortgages.

During the same period of the preceding calendar

year, these institutions enjoyed a net gain of $231,349,000,

These data indicate that such developments as forward buying, the
transfer of some accumulated savings to war bonds, increased taxation, and a
rapid rise in

the cost of living are causing at least a temporary lull in

steady upward trend in the volume of savings held by private institutions.

Operations of Member Institutions

Changes in Membership
Although the membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank System declined
slightly from 3,839 to 3,815 during the 19)2 fiscal year, the combined assets
of these institutions show a gain of $356,795,000, or 6.8 percent during the
same period.

C

For the past five years, membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank
System has remained fairly stable.

During this same five-year period, however,

the total resources of members have grown by more than $1,837,000,000.

At

the present time, therefore, it is apparent that the increasing importance
of the Federal Home Loan Bank System in the Nationts home financing structure
is attributable almost entirely to the growth and strengthening of member
institutions.

The slight contraction in the number of institutions has resulted

principally from mergers and consolidations--a process which has been under
way for a number of years and which is resulting in a group of institutions
better equipped from the standpoint of size and financial strength to meet
the public demand for savings outlets and home mortgage credit.
During the reporting period, 74 thrift

and home financing institutions

were admitted to membership as compared with 69 during the preceding fiscal
year.

Applications for membership which were still pending on June 30,

1942,

totaled 56 as against 66 the year previous.
Terminations of membership during the 1942 fiscal year numbered

98 as compared with 14 during the preceding reporting period.

In 28 cases,

termination was occasioned by merger, consolidation, or sale of assets to
other member institutions and, therefore, did not result in the complete
withdrawal of the assets held by these associations.

The following table

summarizes, by types of institutions, the changes in membership during the
fiscal year 192.

Exhibit 8 gives the number and assets of member institutions

at the close of the last two fiscal years, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts
and by States.

of Member Institutions

As might be expected from the decline in residential building during
recent months, new mortgage loans made by member savings and loan associations
during the fiscal year 1942 were somewhat under the record level set in the
previous reporting period

Loans by member associations amounted to

$1,063,45,O00 as compared with $t,08l,866,000during the 1941 fiscal year,
a decline of two percent.

Mortgage lending by nonmember savings and loan

associations also dropped from $209,508,000 to $193,890,000.

As a result,

lending activity of all savings and loan associations declined from the peak
figure of $1,294,374,000 during the 1941 reporting period to $1,257,335,000
during the fiscal year 1942.

Exhibit 9 gives the volume of new mortgage loans

made by savings and loan associations for the last six

fiscal years.

More significant than the slight decline in total lending activity
are shifts in the distribution of new loans by purpose.

several years immediately preceding the reporting period showed steady and
substantial increases in the annual volumes of nonfarm residential construction.
It is not surprising, thereforp, that during these same years an increasing
proportion of the funds currently loaned by member savings and loan associations
went to finance the construction of homes.
Conversely, when the first restrictions were imposed on new

construction in the fall of 1941, there was an almost immediate decline in
the volume of construction loans made by savings and loan associations.
Beginning in October 19 1, reports on current mortgage financing activity
show a smaller monthly volume of construction lending then during the corres

ponding month of the previous year, with an insignificant exception in
December 1941.

During June 192, member institutions advanced only

l$4,54,000

to finance the construction of new homes, a figure 6536 percent under June 1941.
So substantial was the falling off in construction lending that
loans for this purpose throughout the entire fiscal year 192 totaled but
$311,039,000, a decline of 20o2 percent when compared with the previous
reporting period.

As might be expected, construction lending suffered more

seriously than did other loan categories.

Consequently, construction loans

of member institutions during the fiscal year 1942 represented only 29.3 percent
of total loans made as compared with

35.9 percent the year previous.

Member Institutions in the War Effort
Local thrift and home financing institutions constitute one of the
many types of business enterprises which,

although not in

the front line in

the primary task of production for victory, are nonetheless contributing to
the war effort.

The contributions of member savings and loan associations

include two major activities--first,
industry areas,

and second,

During the fiscal year 1942, member institutions advanced a total

areas of concentrated war activity.

It

approximately $319,500,000 of this amount represented the first

financing of some 106,600 newly-constructed housing units.
The Administration has encouraged member institutions to engage in
the financing of war housing to the limit of their abilities.

To this end,

policies of the Administration governing the lending operations of insured
institutions have been revised to permit these associations,

under certain

conditions, to sell mortgage loans and use the proceeds to finance war housing.
A substantial majority of member savings and loan associations are
actively engaged in the sale of war bonds and stamps.

At the close of the

current reporting period, 2,717 institutions had qualified as issuing agents.
Although this group of institutions represented but 72 percent of the total
membership in

terms of number,

they held over 90 percent of the assets of

all member savings and loan associations.
Recognizing the vital importance of diverting surplus consumer
purchasing power into war savings, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration
and the officers of the regional Federal Home Loan Banks have carried on a
continuing program to encourage member institutions to devote their most

At the worst it

would appear that thrift

and home financing institutions

may be entering a period of "marking tiex--a period which may well offer these
institutions an opportunity to fortify themselves for the day of post-war
readjustments.
With this end in view, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration
in cooperation with other supervisory ofiicials and industry leaders is
actively encouraging managing officers and directors to take whatever steps
may be necessary to place their institutions in the strongest possible
financial position.

Rapid strides in this direction have already been made

by the large >ajority of local savings and loan associations.

Nonetheless,

as past experience only too often has proved, it is impossible to prepare
too well for an uncertain future.

The accumulation of adequate reserves on a

systematic basis is perhaps the best method of meeting future losses over
which an individual association may have little

or no control.

Institutions are also urged to dispose of their owned real estate
in as short a time as sound business operations will permit*

The sale of

foreclosed real estate, particularly in war industry areas where housing
accommodations are frequently in great demand, has the dual advantage of
improving the balance sheet of individual associations and making available
needed housing for war workers,
There is always the danger that lending institutions which are
operating in a market where the demand for mortgage financing is falling,
while loanable funds continue in ample quantity, may so lower their lending
standards that marginal or unsound risks will be accepted.

Careful attention

to sound risk analysis and accurate appraisal techniques are more important
than ever at such a timeo

An increasingly competitive market also necessitates

the establishment of interest and dividend rates at levels which will enable
institutions, on the one hand, to obtain and hold sound and safe mortgage
security, and, on the other, to meet local competition for private savings funds.
Local thrift and home financing institutions in a number of cases
are adopting mortgage prepayment plans that permit home purchasers to build up
reserves that will protect them if they are temporarily unable to meet their
monthly payments at some later date.

Mortgage prepayment plans are not only

of obvious value to borrowers--they also operate to protect the risks assumed
by financial institutions, and, to the extent that overpayments are made from
rising current incomes, they have an anti-inflationary influence.

Analysis of Condition of Member Associations
Comparison of the consolidated balance sheet of member savings and
loan associations at the close of the calendar years 1940 and 191, shows a
noteworthy improvement in the financial condition of member institutions.
(Annual financial statements of member institutions are submitted on a calendar
year basis; hence, it is not possible to present the following analysis on a
fiscal-year basis.)

The asset side of the master balance sheet reveals a heavy

reduction in real estate holdings, a stronger liquidity position, and a new
peak in mortgage loan portfolios.

On the liability side there was a substantial

gain in private capital and a sizable reduction in Government share investments.
Although general reserves and undivided profits declined fractionally in
relation to gross liabilities, these accounts show a dollar gain of over

$24,000,000,1
Assets:

Total assets of member savings and loan associations show

a gain of approximately $387,000,000 during 1941, reaching a new high of

$4,800,000,000

on December 31, 1941.

The greatest increase is noted in the

case of Federal savings and loan associations, which show a gain of 15.9
percent.

State-chartered insured institutions show a growth in total assets

of 12.5 percent, while State-chartered uninsured associations suffered a
decline of nearly $40,000,000, or 2.7 percent.

The transfer of State associa

tions to insured or Federal categories is, of course, largely responsible
for this latter showing.
First Mortgage Loans

On December 31, 1941, first mortgage invest

ments of member associations aggregated $3,919,000,000, an increase of 12
percent as compared with the combined balance sheet a year previous.

The

mortgage portfolio of member savings and loan associations thus represented
over four-fifths (81.7 percent) of aggregate assets.

To those interested in a detailed tabulation of over-all balance-sheet trends,
reference is made to the July 1942 issue of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review.

amounted to only

percent at the end of 1941.

The successful efforts of savings and loan management to dispose
of foreclosed real estate is one of the most important evidences of the
current strong financial position of most associations.

Whereas only a few

short years ago the volume of real estate institutionally held was a matter
of considerable concern to all supervisory authorities, it

is now safe to

conclude that by and large the real estate overhang is a problem of the past.
Cash:

A good indication of the fact that savings and loan

associations are well aware of the advisability of maintaining a sound
liquidity position is found in the growth of cash on hand and in banks from
$242,000,000 to over $278,000,000 during 1941.

There has been a steady

increase in the volume of cash reserves maintained by member institutions

since 1957 and at the end of 1941, cash represented 5.8 percent of total
resources.

In addition to fortifying their cash position, member savings

and loan associations increased their Government bond holdings during 1941.
This secondary liquidity account now amounts to over $75,000,000, a growth
of 64 percent during the year.

Private Repurchasable Capital:

During 1941, private investments in

member savings and loan associations increased by 11 percent to $3,400,000,000.
Although complete information is

not available on the trend of share capital

in all member savings and loan associations after the close of the calendar
year 1941,

During the

for example, private capital outstanding in insured

savings and loan associations increased only $138,755,000 as cormpared with
$231,549,000 during the corresponding period a year previous.

The drive to

divert new savings into war bonds no doubt accounts in part at least for this
trend.

A greater volume of repurchases occasioned by forward buying, a rise

in the cost of living, and higher taxes may also have had some influence in
the slowing up process.
Borrowed Moneys

This creditor liability on December 31,

1941,

amounted to $239,22,000, an increase of 10.3 percent as compared with the

close of 1940.

Borrowings as a ratio of total liabilities were 4.99 percent

on December 31, 1941, as compared with 4.92 percent a year previous.
Reserves:

General reserves and undivided profits show a gain of

over $24,000,000, or 8 percent, during 1941.

However, this rate of growth

was somewhat less than gains made in total resources, with the result that the
ratio of reserves and undivided profits to total liabilities declined fraction
ally from 6.88 percent to 6.83 percebnt

Charges to reserves occasioned by a

large volume of real estate sales are primarily responsible for this fact.

Statement of Operations
Consolidations of income and expense statements of member savings
and loan associations are available only for those institutions which report
on a calendar-year basis.

This fact, plus the changes which occur from year

to year in the number of member institutions, makes a comparison of operating
ratios considerably more significant than the dollar changes which may occur,
Nonetheless, it is interesting to note that gross operating income of the




- 26 -

3,536 institutions reporting for the calendar year 1941 totaled $235,569,200.
The comparable figure for the 3,508 institutions reporting in 1940 was

$212,591,o000
The growth in mortgage loans held by member savings and loan

associations during 1941 is reflected-in the fact that interest income on
these investments represented 88.0 percent of gross operating income.

During the previous year, the corresponding ratio was 86.7 percent.

The

decline of 37 percent in owned real estate during the twelve months ending
December 31, 1941, was responsible for the fact that income from real estate
represented only 1.6 percent of gross operating income as compared with 2.4
percent during the previous year.
The distribution of net income by reporting associations during
19l1 is another evidence of the increasing importance which institutions are
attaching to the accumulation of adequate reserves.

Dividend payments

absorbed 71.2 percent of net income as compared with 73.5 percent during
the preceding year and 75.5 percent in 1939.

Transfers to reserves and

undivided profits show a favorable trend with 29 percent of net income going
to these accounts during 1941, as against only 26 percent in 1940.2

For a more detailed discussion of income and expense trends of member savings
and loan associations during 19)1, reference is made to the September 1941
issue of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review.

It

is

noteworthy that during the 1942 fiscal

year, advances outstanding reached the highest point in the history of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System.

On December 31, 1941, midway through the

reporting period, advances by the Banks amounted to $219,L46,050, a figure

8.9 percent above the previous peak recorded on December 31, 1940.
Total advances made by the Federal Home Loan Banks from the
beginning of operations through June 30, 19L2, amounted to $928,933,902
and repayments of borrowers during the same period aggregated $736,288,966.
Exhibit 10 summarizes, by fiscal years, advances, repayments, and balances
outstanding since the beginning of operations.
Analysis of current lending operations of the twelve Federal Home
Loan Banks shows little uniformity in trends during the 1942 fiscal-year
period.

Eight of the Banks show a higher volume of advances outstanding on

June 30, 1942, as compared with June 30, 1941.

Percentage gains varied from

1.2 percent in the case of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago to 54.6 percent
in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

The remaining four Banks report

declines ranging from 1.1 percent to 153o5 percent.

former reduced its rates on short-term advances to 2 percent and on long-term
advances to 2-1/2 percent, while the latter Bank created a 2-1/2 percent rate

As

an additional incentive to their member associations, the Pittsburgh, Indianapolis,
and Topeka Banks established a preferential rate of 2 percent on advances to

members used to purchase United States War Bonds

On July 1, 1922, the Banks

were charging from 2-1/2 to 3 percent on long-term advances and from 1-1/2 to
3 percent on short-term advances.

Types of Advances
Once again, a review of the lending operations of Federal Home Loan
Banks during the reporting period shows a gain in the proportion of funds
advanced on a short-term basis.

On June 30, 1942, loans which had been written

for a term of one year or less amounted to $80,121,685, or 41.6 percent of
total advances outstanding, as compared with 38.7 percent a year previous.
It is probable that the lower interest oharge made by several of the Federal

Home Loan Banks on short-term advances, coupled with the difficulty in such
times as these of estimating credit needs very far in the future, are the
principal causes for the growing emphasis on short-term advances.

The distri

bution of outstanding advances, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by term
of loan at the close of the last two fiscal years will be found in Exhibit 11.

A year previous,

the corresponding ratio was 71.8

Collateral supporting secured advances at the close of the reporting

period consisted of 126,605 home mortgages with unpaid balances of $325,075,351;
and obligations of the United States Government, direct or fully guaranteed,
in

the amount of $1,112,900.

In addition, the Banks hold a statutory lien on

the stock holdings of borrowing members in

the amount of $27,041,000, which

stock can, if necessary, be used to protect advances, both secured and unsecured.
On June 30, 1942, except for five borrowers in liquidation, not a
single institution was delinquent over thirty days in its contractual
obligations to the Federal Home Loan Banks.

Four of the liquidating borrowing

members were indebted to the Bank in the amount of $256,349 which was
collateralized by $517,558 in home mortgages, and $53,700 in paid-in Bank
stock.

In no case was the collateral less than 210 percent of an individual

indebtedness.

The one unsecured advance to a liquidating member amounted to

$163,700 and was protected not only by a lien on Bank stock in the amount of
$13,700, but also by $339,143 in land contracts.

No loss is anticipated by

the Banks concerned on the indebtedness of any liquidating borrower.

C.

Examination and Supervision

Each of the twelve Federal Hme Loan. Banks is examined semiannually
by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.

These examinations and regular

and special reports on current operations and condition provide the basic data
for the establishment of rules and regulations and general supervision of the
Bankso




- 33 -

In addition, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration examines
and supervises all Federal savings and loan associations,

In the case of

State-chartered insured associations, supervision, and, in more than three
fourths of the cases, examination are shared with the respective State
Supervisory Departments.

In addition, in a few instances State-chartered

uninsured members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System which are not subject
to regular State examination submit to examination by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Administration,

On June 30, 192,

there were 2,374 insured institutions

under supervision of the Administration.
The Federal Home Loan Bank Administration has for several years

maintained a separation of its examining and supervisory activities,

Actual

experience to date has demonstrated the desirability of this type of
organization.

It has the dual advantage of insuring both a maximum degree

of independence to fact-finding examiners and a detached consideration and
analysis of examination reports by trained supervisory officialso
The examining and supervisory activities of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Administration are increasing in volume and importance.

In the first

place, the number of insured institutions has grown steadily in recent years.
During the last two fiscal years alone, the number of institutions supervised
by the Administration has increased by six percent to 2,37.

An even better

measure of the task of examining and supervising insured institutions is the
volume of assets held by these associations.

From June 30, 1940, to the close

of the reporting period, assets of insured associations grew by 27.8 percent

to $3,61,228,000.




-34 -

Supervision can be defined, in general terms, as an activity which
is undertaken to assure the proper protection of the public interest in the
operation of financial institutions.

Supervision does not extend to actual

participation by Governmental authorities in institutional management.

On

the contrary, the business activities of insured savings and loan associations
are properly the concern of local management and trustee directorates.

The

function of the Administration is rather to establish the basic standards or
rules which judgment and experience indicate will guide institutions to the

goal of sound public service.
Supervisory activities, no matter how well formulated or carried out,
cannot provide the all-inclusive answer to successful financial management and

operation.

In the final analysis, well-trained, efficient, and capable

management is equally if not more important.

The Administration has, therefore,

devoted considerable time and attention to the development, through informal
educational processes, of high standards of association management and operation.
Such continuous supervisory activities are difficult to evaluate in specific
measure, but past experience would indicate that constant effort to prevent
the initial development of weaknesses is perhaps the most effective type of
supervisory guidance.

The Federal Home Loan Bank Administration is assisted in the discharge
of its supervisory responsibilities through conferences with the Federal Savings
and Loan Advisory Council.

This organization was created by statute for the

specific purpose of conferring with the Administration 'on general business
conditions and on special conditions affecting the Federal Home Loan Banks and
their members."




- 35 -

The Council, which is composed of one member elected by each of the
twelve boards of directors of the Federal Home Loan Banks and six members
appointed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Ad-inistration, held two meetings
during the 1942 fiscal year.

Discussions by the Council at these meetings

covered a number of subjects of primary importance to the continued successful
Lending policies

operation of the Bank System, among which were the following:
in

a war economy, sale of War Bonds,

financing of war housing, liquidity,

and dividend and mortgage interest rates.
Reconmmendations of the Council were of substantial help to the
Administration in the formulation and development of policies.

This net change of 12 was the result of 25 additions

Only four of the additions during the reporting period

represented newly-organized associations,

The remaining 21 involved converting

associations which had previously operated under State charter.
The 13 terminations were the result of nine mergers and two voluntary
and two involuntary liquidations.

Cancellations resulting from merger and

consolidation of existing institutions do not, of course, represent a with
drawal of assets from the Federal Savings and Loan System.
In providing for the establishment of Federal savings and loan

associations, Congress contemplated that these institutions would serve two
purposes:

First, to provide adequate thrift and home financing facilities

in localities which lacked them, and second, to develop under Federal charter
a group of home financing institutions operating under the highest standards
and practices.

The number of Federal savings and loan associations newly chartered
under the terms of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1937 has remained virtually
constant for the last six years, and it is not contemplated that any substantial
number of new charters will be issued in the future.

The total assets of Federal savings and loan associations on June 30,
1942, amounted to $2,205,921,000, an increase of 8.6 percent as compared with
the same figure a year previous.

Although this represents a new high point in

the resources held by Federal savings and loan associations, the gain during
the reporting period failed to equal that of the preceding year, either on a
percentage basis or in dollar amount.

This is not unexpected in view of the

general decline in the rate of growth of all savings and loan associations
as a result of war conditions.

(See

p.

19.)

In comparison with the entire savings and loan industry, Federal
savings and loan associations now represent approximately 21 percent of all
institutions by numbere

On the other hand, as a result of rapid growth and

proved ability to meet local competitive conditions, Federal associations now
hold approximately 36 percent of the assets of all operating associations in
the country.
The number of Federal associations and their assets, by Federal
Home Loan Bank Districts and by States, as of the close of the last two
fiscal years, will be found in Exhibit 19.
Current Trends in Share Capital
The close of the reporting period marked a new peak in the number
of investors in Federal savings and loan associations as well as in the gross

volume of savings entrusted to these institutions*

On June 30, 1942, there

were 1,959,200 individual investors whose total investments amounted to

respectively,

must be noted, however, that in line with other

major trends, the increase in private savings held by Federal associations
took place at a much slower rate than during preceding fiscal-year periods.
The following index figures, based on a comparable group of Federal
savings and loan associations operating for the past eight fiscal years,

indicate

the rapid strides made by these institutions in attracting investments from
the public.

It will be noted that the index shows an increase of only 11

percent during the 1942 fiscal year as compared with a gain of 21 percent
during the previous reporting period.

Mortgage Lending Activity
Mortgage lending activity of Federal savings and loan associations
during the 1942 fiscal year followed the same general trends shown by all member
institutions,

although the falling off in lending volume during the closing

months of the reporting period was even sharper than in
rember institutions.

From July through December 1941, Federal savings and

loan associations wrote mortgage loans in the total amount of $3504,51,000,
an increase of 12.6 percent as compared with the same six-month period a year
earlier.

During the six months from January through June 19L2, however,

lending by Federal associations showed a drop of 31.0 percent as compared
with the January-June 19 1 total and amounted to only $210,115,000.

This

decline wvas severe enough to overbalance the gains made during the previous
six months, with the result that the fiscal year as a whole shows a decline
of ~:55,02,000, or 6.h percent, when compared with the 1941 fiscal year.

VWhereas loans

to finance the construction of new homes during the 1941 reporting period

amounted to $227,811,000, or 41.4 percent of total loans made, the current
reporting period shows loans for this purpose in the dollar amount of only

$174,035,000, or 33.8 percent of total.

Loans to finance the purchase of

existing homes, on the other hand, increased over one-fifth during the twelve
months ending June 30, 1942.

Home purchase loans aggregated $217,137,000,

or 42.2 percent of total loans written, as compared with $180,834,000, or
32.9 percent of total during the 1941 fiscal year--a change accounted for,
no doubt, by the more intensive demand for existing structures in many
communities.
As the table below indicates,

loans for refinancing, reconditioning,

and miscellaneous purposes show declines both in dollar volume and in relation

FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN INSURANCE CORPORATION

Operations of Insured Institutions
During the fiscal year 1942,

the number of savings and loan

associations insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation

increased from 2,31

to 2,374.

This increase of 61 was the net result of

73 additions and 12 terminations.

Terminations in 6 cases were the result

of the merger of existing insured institutions, 5 were the result of
liquidation, and one institution voluntarily cancelled its insurance.

On

June 30, 192, insuranoe applications were pending for 378 associations.
The insured savings and loan group includes all 1,464 Federal savings and
loan associations and 910 State associations.

Investors in each of these

institutions are protected by the Corporation against the loss of their
savings, up to a maximum of $5,000.
By the end of the reporting period, institutions enjoying the
protection of the Insurance Corporation represented approximately 63 percent
of the member savings and loan associations of the Federal Home Loan Bank
System.

Their assets were equivalent to more than 70 percent of the

consolidated kesources of all member institutions.

Detailed information on

the number and assets of insured associations will be found in Exhibit 19.

Revision necessitated by certain changes in reporting procedure adopted during
the 1912 fiscal year.

from 62,555,393,00

on June 30, 1941, to $2,827,956,000 at the close of the

reporting period, a gain of 10.7 percent.

New mortgage lending by insured

institutions during the 19 2 fiscal year aggregated $797,826,000.

Although

this figure failed to equal the peak record of the preceding year, it represents
over 75 percent of the total lending volume of all member institutions of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Systexa,
For the fiscal year as a whole, private savings entrusted to insured
savings and loan associations increased by $502,3553,00 to $2,75

A

reduction in the volume of new investments, coupled with higher repurchases
during the first few months of 19L:2, explains the fact that this net increase
was somewhat smaller than the gain of $4.15,782,000 reported for the 191
fiscal year.
Insurance Settlements
The basic purpose for which the Congress established the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation was to bring about a greater degree of
stability in savings and loan operations by spreading the risk of inevitable
losses according to well-accepted insurance principles.

It

was to be expected

that a certain number of problem cases would develop, for in any insuring operation
losses are as much a part of normal operations as premium income.

two of these cases, the Corporation determined after exhaustive study that
no financial assistance was necessary and these associations have continued
normal operations.

In 23 of the remaining 33 cases the Corporation made

net cash disbursements aggregating $4,251,959.51 in order to prevent default.

Additional contingent commitments to five of these associations, in the amount
of $21b,374.11, were still outstanding on June 30,

1942,

Three of the savings

and loan associations so far assisted by the Corporation have merged with
other insured institutions, three have liquidated voluntarily, paying all
investors in

cash,

and 17 have continued operations as separate units.

A total of seven institutions have been declared in default and
placed in liquidation, and at the close of the fiscal year 1942, the Insurance
Corporation was studying three cases to determine whether some form of corrective
action should be taken.

The Corporation has made a commitment of $86,000 in

one of these cases contingent upon compliance with certain conditionso
It is estimated that the final losses which will be sustained in
all cases in which the Corporation has made or authorized contributions or
permitted associations to be placed in liquidation will amount to $5,3.2,00.

These two factors were

Outright dishonesty on the part of

association employees or breach of trust on the part of management accounted
for the difficulties experienced by the remaining 12 institutions.



-

47

-

The Corporation is authorized by statute to adopt several courses
of action when an insurance case is certified to it.

After careful study

and exhaustive analysis of the condition of the association, the Corporation
determines whether it should prevent a declaration of default or whether it
should permit the institution to be liquidated.

A declaration of default can

be prevented by the Insurance Corporation either by purchasing doubtful assets
from the association, by making a loan, or by means of a contribution to the
institution in

difficulty.

Through the close of the fiscal year 19112,

the

Corporation had made no loans to prevent default nor had it purchased assets,
although both of these means of settlement may be employed at some future date.
In each case in which an insured association has been declared in
default and placed in liquidation, the Corporation has offered all insured
shareholders the two optional methods of settlement set forth in the statutes:
(1) a new insured account in an insured association not in default, or (2) ten
percent of the insured account in cash and the remaining 90 percent in
negotiable non-interest-bearing Corporation debentures, 50 percent coming
due within one year and 50 percent within three years.
Practically all of the investors in each of the seven insured
associations which have been placed in liquidation have elected the first
method of settlement, i.e., a new account in an open insured association.
To date, less than one-tenth of one percent of the claims settled have
provided for payment on the cash and debenture basis.

Public confidence in

the insurance program is directly reflected in the fact that of the total
amount made available to insured shareholders in other operating institutions,
approximately 60 percent has been left with these institutions in the form
of savings share accounts.




-48 -

During the fiscal year 19L2, the Corporation extended financial
aid in

the form of contributions totaling $2,754,065*56 to eight associations

which were threatened with default.

In addition the Corporation paid out

$45,000 to two institutions as payments on contingent commitments previously
authorized.

Default

Two Federal savings and loan associations with assets of $7,200,000
and two insured State-chartered associations with assets of $514,000 were
placed in liquidation during the 192 fiscal year, bringing the number of
insured associations in default and liquidation to seven, with assets
aggregating $7,680,000, as of June 30, 1942.

The Insurance Corporation is

acting as receiver for each of the four Federal associations in liquidation

and as co-receiver with a State Building and Loan Department in the case of
one insured State-chartered association.

The Corporation, through its

subrogation of insured claims, has a major claim in the proceeds of the
liquidation of two State-chartered associations and takes an active interest
in the liquidation of these institutions which is being carried on by a
State authority.
Comparative statements of condition and operations of these
institutions as of the date of receivership through June 30, 1942, are shown
in

Exhibit 20.

The liquidations are progressing favorably.

Operations of the Insurance Corporation
The balance sheet of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation during the fiscal year 1942 continued to show steady improvement.

Total assets on June 30, 1942, amounted to $154,371,152 as compared with
$150,920,146 a year previous.

Reserves and surplus on June 30, 1942, amounted

to $32,665,905 as compared with $29,388,884 on June 30, 1941.

The Corporation

has since its inception followed the practice of building up its surplus and
reserves as rapidly as possible, recognizing that any insuring operation
requires an adequate cushion against future losses.
The potential insured liability of the Insurance Corporation,
representing the total amount of all insured accounts up to $5,000 each and
all creditor obligations of insured associations totaled $2,772,012,000 on
June 30, 1912, as compared with $2,464,167,000 at the close of the 1941 fiscal
year.

In terms of the relationship of liability to resources of the Corporation,

there was on June 30, 1942, for each dollar of capital, reserves, and surplus

of the Corporation, a potential liability of $20.63.

The current statement of

condition of the Insurance Corporation will be found in Exhibit 21.
Income of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is
derived from annual premiums paid by insured institutions, admission fees
received from associations newly entering the system, and from interest on
investmentso

All income over and above expenses is allocated to reserves, and

disbursements of the Corporation in connection with insurance settlement cases
are charged to these reserve accounts.




- 50 -

Premium income received during the fiscal year 1942 totaled $3,5,34952
as compared with $3,063,115 for the preceding reporting period.

Premiums paid

by insured institutions equal 1/8 of 1 percent of total share and creditor
obligations or an amount which equals approximately 11 cents for each $100 of
assets.

Admission fees, charged on the basis of

4

cents for each $100 of

insurable accounts and creditor obligations, totaled $27,502 during the 1942
fiscal year as compared with $2*,371 in the 1941 reporting periods

The Corporation's income from investments, including $131775 resulting
from profits in the sale of securities, amounted to $3,612,479.

Inoluding

miscellaneous items, the aggregate income of the Corporation thus totaled
$7,175,000 during the reporting period, an increase of $592,807 over the
preceding year.
The Corporation's administrative expenses amounted to $324,931 during

the period under review and nonadministrative expenses, whioh arise principally
from costs inourred in connection with settlement oases, totaled $32,867.

The Corporation is able to operate efficiently with this

small staff because under a cooperative arrangement it is able to utilize
the various service divisions of the Federal Home

an Bank Administration on

a reimbursable basis and does not have to maintain such departments of its own.
At the present time, the Corporation is able to maintain its administrative

expenses at a figure lower than the interest income from its invested reserves.

LOAN CORPORATION

Progress in Liquidation
Since the close of its emergency lending operations in June 1936,
the major responsibility of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation has been the
orderly and economical liquidation of its affairs.

During its three-year

lending period, the Corporation refinanced the mortgage obligations of
1,017,823 individuals virtually all of whom were in danger of losing their

homes through foreclosure.

It is the assets it holds as a result of these

lending operations plus certain additional amounts it invested in the share
capital of savings and loan associations which the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation is now engaged in liquidating.
nEergency refinancing loans made by the HOLC amounted to

35,0935,1h51321.

As part of its normal servicing activities, the Corporation has found it
necessary from time to time to advance supplemental amounts to its borrowers
primarily for the payment of delinquent taxes.

In addition it has been necessary,

of course, for the Corporation to foreclose certain of the loans originally
granted and in these cases its investment has been increased through the
capitalization into property account of such items as delinquent interest and
taxes, foreclosure and acquisition costs, and reconditioning expenditures.
Through June 30,

192, the amounts advanced to borrowers and capitalized into

property totaled $382,642,477.

Cumulative gross investments in what might be

termed the Corporationts "operating assets," i.e., the mortgage loan, vendee,




- 52 -

and property accounts, resulting from its lending programn,

thus aggregated

$3,476,093,798 through the close of the reporting period.
As shown by the table below, the operating assets at the end of
the fiscal year 1942 aggregated $1,938,195,197, a reduction of $1,537,898,601,

or 4..2 percent.

Over three-fourths of this net reduction has resulted from

principal repayments on original loans.

Another ten percent represents

receipts from property sales and repayments by vendees.

The remaining 15

percent of the total net reduction in operating assets is attributable to
charge-offs and losses.

As will be explained in more detail later, the

Corporation has been able to make up a large proportion of these losses and
charge-offs from its operating income.

During the 1942 fiscal year, liquidation progressed somewhat more

rapidly than during any previous reporting period, primarily as the result of
a higher rate of collections on debtor accounts.

The total balance of mortgage

loan, vendee, and property accounts was reduced from $2,189,038,942 at the
beginning of the fiscal year to $1,938,195,197 on June 30, 1942, a decline of
$250,843,745, or 11.5 percent.




- 53 -

The Corporation's investments in the share capital of savings and

loan associationw have also been substantially reduced.

These investments

were authorized by Congress in 1935 as a means of stimulating private home
mortgage lending activity.

Up to June 30, 1942, the Corporation had invested

a total of $223,756,710 in this.manner.
that date aggregated $167,069,810,

The amount still outstanding on

a decline of over 25 percent.

The major

proportion of the reduction in this asset item has been brought about as the
result of voluntary retirements over and above amounts requested by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Administration.

The liquidation of the Corporation's debtor and property accounts
and the retirement of investments in savings and loan associations has been

accompanied by a decline in bonded indebtedness.

Total bonds outstanding on

June 30, 1942, amounted to $2,119,317750 as compared with a peak of
$3,047,046,575 on May 31, 1936.

In accordance with the Home Owners'

Loan

Act of 1933, the Corporation segregates all principal repayments by borrowers

for use only in the retirement of bonds.

Corporation, including cash Droceeds from property sales and funds received

in connection with the repurchase of savings and loan investments,

Cumulatively through the. close of the reporting period, all sums

As a result of this retirement and refunding operation,

substantial savings in

The average

interest rate on bonds outstanding was reduced from 2.257 percent on June 30,
1941, to 1.928 percent at the close of the 1942 reporting period.

A detailed

statement of the bond transactions of the Corporation will be found in
Exhibit 25.

The liquidating program of the Home Ownerst Loan Corporation has
made possible a steady reduction in personnel and other administrative
expenses during the last several years.

Thus,

alone, the Corporation was able to reduce its

during the 1912 fiscal year
personnel from 7,76

and thereby effect an annual salary saving of $4,921,550.

Status of Accounts

A substantial rise was recorded during the fiscal year 1942 in the
number of home owners whose loan payments to the Corporation are being met on
schedule.

Loan foreclosures have dropped, and a steady upward trend in

payments by HOLC borrowers in

principal

excess of their contractual obligations has been noted.

The collection record during 1942 was maintained at a higher level than
for any previous fiscal year, totaling $313,852,862,

as compared with $293,456,574

for the fiscal year 1911, and $276,158,266 for the fiscal year 1940.

The constant problem of the Corporation is

A major servicing measure of the Corporation which has proved
advantageous both to the Corporation and to its borrowers is the special
procedure which has been set up for the systematic collection of taxes and
insurance on mortgagor properties.

In the normal course of events,

charges

for taxes and insurance are levied on an annual basis and in many cases their
payment in a lump sum represents a severe hardship.

they are paid automatically by the Corporation from the funds paid in

a total

This procedure,

in addition to assisting the Corporationts borrowers,

has brought about substantial economies in the Corporation ts administrative
expenses by eliminating the necessity for searching public tax records to obtain
information on tax delinquencies

The Corporation's servicing activities were considerably broadened
in August 1939 with the passage of the Mead-Barry Act.

Under the terms of

this amendment to the Home Owners, Loan Act, the Corporation was authorized,
under certain conditions, to extend the repayment period of borrowers'
accounts to a maximum of 25 years.

For the most part, the bulk of extension

applications submitted to the Corporation had been processed prior to the
current reporting period.

The books of the Corporation show that 251,170

accounts had been extended through June 30, 1942.
The program inaugurated by the Corporation, encouraging certain of
its borrowers to pay their accounts ahead of schedule, made notable progress.
during 1942.

Through this servicing activity, representatives

of the

Corporation in personal interviews have urged individual borrowers to use
the increased incomes they now enjoy either to build up a "prepayment" reserve
to take care of future installments during unfo~seen periods of difficulty,
or, if possible, to apply excess sums as a direct reduction of principal
indebtedness.
One measure of the success of the Corporation's overpayment program
is found in the fact that 87221 borrowers already were paying in excess of
their regular monthly installments on June 30, 1942.
Acceleration in the reduction of mortgage indebtedness has, of
course, a dual advantage to the Corporation and its borrowers.

To the borrower,

any reduction in the indebtedness on his home means a corresponding increase
in his equity and places him in a better position to meet unforeseen
contingencies which may arise before debt-free home ownership is attained.
From the Corporation's standpoint, its security position is.strengthened as
borrowers are able to reduce the principal amount of their mortgage
obligations.

In addition, a third aspect to the program has special significance

under present-day conditions.

involving an

expenditure of $11,653,483 during the preceding reporting period.
With the growing need for a more intensive use of existing structures
as a result of material scarcities and crowded conditions in war industry
centers, the unusual experience of the Corporationts Reconditioning Section
has been enlisted in
housing problems.

It

an advisory capacity by agencies directly engaged in war
has cooperated with the Homes Registration Offices in

a program to encourage the repair, modernization,

and conversion of private

homes to provide additional housing accommodations for war workers.
After the adoption of the priorities system for defense housing in
the fall of 1941,

the Compliance Branch of the War Production Board requested

the aid of the Corporation's
surveys in

trained field investigators to conduct industrial

the construction field.

During March and April 192,

the

Reconditioning Section made a special investigation of priority compliance
in

284 publicly financed defense housing projects.

needs.
A second survey was started in May 192 for the War Production Board
to check general compliance of the construction industry with the provisions
order issued on April 9,

the "stop-constructionn

of Conservation Order L-41,
1942.

The survey continued for a period of sixty days, ending on July 17,

192.

During this period, the Corporation's investigators made over 23,000

contacts in 5,503 cities.
All of the services performed for the War Production Board in

the

aforementioned two surveys were provided on a reimbursable basis, including
salary, per diem, travel, and other expenses.
Appraisals
During the current reporting period, the Corporation completed a
total of 37,125 appraisals as compared with 60,26h during the preceding
fiscal year.

The current work load figure includes 9,953 new appraisals and

27,172 reappraisals or supplemental reviews.

The rapid changes in

property

valuations during recent months have necessitated frequent reviews of
uorporation appraisals in

order to keep this vital and necessary information

as up to date as possible.
As in

the case of the Corporation's reconditioning personnel,

a

number of war agencies have availed themselves of the services of the trained
appraisal staff of the Corporation.

During the 19

fiscal year, the War

and Navy Departnents requested appraisals of properties valued at many millions
of dollars.

UNITED STATES HOUSING CORPORATION

Prior to the organization of the National Housing Agency, the United
States Housing Corporation was a part of the Federal Works Agency.

The

Corporation was created in 1918 during World War I for the purpose of housing
workers in congested war industry areas.

After the Armistice, it was decided

that the Corporation should complete projects which were in an advanced stage
of construction and that others should be abandoned and the materials salvaged.
In accordance with this program, the Corporation completed
approxminately 6,000 residential properties located in 26 States and several
large hotels in Seattle, Washington, and the District of Columbia.- Most of
these properties have been sold or otherwise disposed of.

At the end of

February 1942, when the United States Housing Corporation was transferred from
the Federal Works Agency into the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration, the

books of tne Corporation showed that it held an interest in

445

houses and

54 vacant lots. Some 415 of these houses are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Immediately after the issuance of Executive.Order 9070, the necessary
steps were taken to protect the Corporation's interest in these holdings and
the Congress was requested to authorize the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration
to use $173,000 of the Corporation's own funds to wind up its affairs.

This

request was granted on July 2, 1942, just after the close of the current
reporting period.

A program to bring about the speedy liquidation of the

United States Housing Corporation was immediately thereafter put into effect.

5The figure shown above refleots the Corporation's actual losses sustained in the sale of
its acquired properties, on mortgage loans and other losses, on fire and other hazards,
and on fidelity and casualties in excess of its
cumklative net earnings.
The reserve for losses is being accumulated at an annual rate which, on the basis of
careful estimates, will approximate the total losses which may be sustained in the
liquidation of mortgage loans, interest and property. The figure shown above reflects
the reserves which have been provided to date for such future losses#

Note:

Except for property transactions which are recorded on a cash basis,
major items of income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis.
Therefore, no asset value has been recognized with respect to
uncollected rentals or prepaid taxes nor liability
for accrued taxes.
