" Other state witnesses included City Police Officer Oscar Gerleve, Sheriff Murray Britton, State Po lice Officer Ralph Prouty, ballis tics expert from the crime labora tory, and Francis Ramsey, an em ploye of Scott Loan Company on Klamath Avenue who said he witnessed Lugo's purchase of a gun under the name of Bill Jackson.

Bank Assets Show Boost Assets of the First Federal Sav ings and Loan Association in creased by a record $2,778,114 or 14.88 per cent in 1959, reaching an all time high figure of $21,439,122 at year's end, George W. Mcln tyre, president, stated today. The year 1959 saw increased com petition for savings and the tight est home credit market in many years. The increased facilities of First Federal, due to the remodel ing and expansion, aided in the growth of savings funds. The in crease in savings totaled $2,690,465, a percentage increase for the year of 16.2. Dividends distributed for the year totaled $637,512. This is by far the largest amount ever paid to the savers at First Federal, according to Mclntyre. More home loans were made dur ing the year of 1959' than ever before. Total mortgage loans at the year end totaled $16,129,302. Additions were made to the re serve account and the liquidity of the . association was well main tained. Prospects for the coming year in home construction indicate few er starts than the previous year. Personal Income should touch new highs and this should indicate a continued uptrend in savings.
