(British Official AVireless.) RUGBY, May 23.
During last year building societies in Britain advanced over £100,000,000 to borrowers and the total assets of these societies now exceed £500,000,000.

A message was sent to the King in which reference was made to the encouragement received from him by the societies in their work of “extending home ownership aaid the high citizenship of those who have a personal stake in their native land.”
