B J L L j_j' III~- No.4 T I N Mildred Arnold, Editor Fangenroth Road Edwardsville, Illinois election date has been set for Tuesday, February 2. "Obviously this is a very important election," Brubaker said, "since there is no hospital in the area. Good schools and fine hospitals are important in recruiting quality persons to join our faculty." The total assessed property valuation for the communities of the area, according to Brubaker, is approximately $67,000,000. The limit on bonded indebtedness that may be incurred is one and a-half per cent of the assessed valuation. A proposed tax rate has been developed on the assumption that the maximum amount of money available (approximately $1,000,000) will be needed for the construction of a 65-bed hospital. This proposed tax rate, which also would provide for the operation of the hospital, is .00188 (18.8¢ per $100 assessed value). The tax on a property assessed at $10,000 would be $18.80. This means that for a property owner the total tax would increase only $18.80, Brubaker said. He urges members of the staff living in the area concerned to vote February 2 on this important matter. Brubaker joined the staff recently as professor of education and assistant to Vice President See in charge of research. He co.mes .to us from the University of Mississippi where he was a professor of education and director of the laboratory school. EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION .. APPOINTED TO HOSPITAL COMMITTEE No sooner had H. B. BRUBAKER moved to Edwardsville than he was appointed to the Chamber of Commerce Hospital Committee which is conducting a campaign to establish an Edwardsville area hospital district. The Information about the Credit Union for all employees of the Southwestern Illinois Campus has been released by JOE R. SMALL, associate professor of business administration at East St. louis. "In the past two years the need for the establishment of an employees credit union has been increasingly �- 2 - apparent. This need became even more obvious as new staff members found the University could not loan money of any amount, even in the guise of a salary advance, except when paychecks were late in arriving or some such special situation. Consequently, the Falcon Investment Club created a committee from its group to determine what was necessary to establish such a credit union. We are happy to announce that our application to the State of Illinois for the establishment of the Southwestern Illinois Campus Employees Credit Union has been approved, issued, and received. Some further legal requirements must be completed before operations can be started. However, all necessary arrangements should be completed to permit initial operations to begin on February 1, 1960. This Credit Union is available to all full-time 'employees of this campus. The initial deposit for one share is at a cost of $5, p ] us a membership fee (payable only once) of $0.25. Membership may be obtained at the business offices at Alton for all employees at the Alton Center or East St. Louis for all employees at the East St. Louis cente1. The charter authorizes loans up to $200 on unsecured notes; over $200 to $2000 on secured notes, at interest rates of one per cent per month on unpaid balances below $1000, and one-half per cent on unpaid balances over $1000. The dividend rate on deposits, of course, is dependent upon the earnings of the Credit Union, but after the initial years of operations most credit unions are able to pay dividends of five to six per cent on all deposits . . .
