Caster Tells League Savings, Loan Resources Will Grow To Billions

In a message to the membership, George B. Caster, Florida Savings and Loan League president, predicted last week that the state savings and loan present resources of $3 billion will double in five years and total $10 billion by the end of the decade. "This, in spite of the fact that the 'sizzling, soaring '60's' haven't sizzled or soared as much as we would have liked them to at the beginning of the decade," he said. Caster, president of Coral Gables Federal, spoke to representatives of the 111 League members in convention at the Colonial Inn, St. Petersburg Beach. Percenters On his list of competitive factors for savings and residential financing he listed "the so-called 8 percenters, which have mushroomed in the past year... apparently thriving here in the St. Petersburg area, and to a lesser extent in other parts of the state. "The very fact that so many of these companies have sprung up in the past year, ndicates that they have been successful in obtaining money from the public despite the ambiguity of their advertising. "In many cases, it would appear that these companies place the funds entrusted to them in second mortgage paper, or in extremely high percentage first mortgages, and that investors must rely for security primarily on statements that their funds are insured against loss 'for any reason whatsoever.' "There is a public interest involved here and unfortunately these companies apparently are presently exempt from control under state security laws. "The office of the Attorney General of the state of Florida has been studying these new investment companies, and perhaps the forthcoming session of the legislature will take steps to establish some type of effective control over their opertaion," Caster said. Another competitive factor mentioned was "the continued efforts of the commercial bankers to obtain a change in the tax status of our business." He said if successful "it will result in weakening the financial structure of the nation's only specialists in the field of thrift and home financing." On the plus side Caster pointed to savings in Florida associations that increased by $407 million this past year. He said public faith and confidence brought them the 1.2 million savings account holders now in these Florida associations.
