The amendment to the By-Laws reducing the number of directors was favorably reported. The financial statement at the close of business Sept. 1, showed assets and liabilities of $13,231.96. Number of shares in force 713. Applications for money keep well ahead of the funds available for loans with $2,200 on the waiting list. A dividend at the rate of 5 percent was declared.

The association is in excellent condition and the new series 5 shares now on sale will go quickly. There are few better investments than in the Hampton Co-operative bank. It is likely that the Massachusetts tax law will cause a reinvestment in our own institutions some of which will find its way to this association.
