PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. INCE the publication of the first edition of this book the SINCE Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed two Acts relating to Building Associations, viz.: the Act of April 29, 1874, authorizing and regulating certain corporations, and the Act of April 10, 1879, relating entirely to Building Associations, enlarging, defining, and limiting their rights and privileges. These laws will be found in full in the Appendix. The Act of 1879 remedies, to a very great degree, defects in former laws, and places building association interests in Pennsylvania in a much firmer position, legally, morally, and socially, than they have ever before attained. In addition to important corrections throughout the work, an explanation of the "Advance Interest Plan" of formation has been added to the fifth chapter. The present edition thus contains all that is new in respect to methods and plans of practical work and organization. 1* |
