Officials don't foresee further closings of S&Ls
By BRET WALLACE
Staff Reporter
Although the recent closing of the North Kansas Savings Association in Beloit has caused concern in financial circles, leaders in the financial industry in north central Kansas do not foresee further closings.
"Anytime we see anybody go under in the finance industry, it is bad," Dean Haddock, president of Guaranty State Bank & Trust Co., Beloit, said yesterday. "The closing of a cousin institution shakes the confidence of the public."
North Kansas Savings, which has a branch office in Phillipsburg, was closed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board Nov. 19. It was the first closing of a financial institution in Kansas in a year and a half.
FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS and Loan Association, Osatovia, bought North Kansas Savings from the government. This association is a branch office of association as a branch office in Beloit.
When officials announced the closing, they said North Kansas Savings had made an investment.
Dave Douglass, supervisory agent for the home loan board, said another reason for the closing was a lawsuit brought against the bank by someone who overcharged it after the bank had agreed to lend money to the prospective borrower.
Clem Abercrombie, president of the United Bank, Minneapolis, Kani., said, "The closing has caused a great impact on our financial institution closing will have repercussions on other financial institutions."
PEOPLE SEE savings and loan associations as banks, so the closing one reflects on the others, said Phil Hines, president of First National Bank, Beloit.
He said people who had accounts in the defunct association were taking their business to other savings institutions in the area, although insurance would cover losses resulting from the closing.
"A lot of people think the money will go to Osawatime. Most of the money put in branch banks is channelled back to the headquarters," he said. "If it had been taken over by Beloit this problem would not have occurred."
But Thull said he thought the association would be able to regain credibility and become a profitable business.
Haddock said he thought fewer people than expected would withdraw money from the savings association because of insurance provided by the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp.
"THE INSURANCE gave people a lot of confidence," he said.
Marvin Steinert, commissioner of the state savings and loan department, said North Kansas Savings was investigated in May and July. Mr. Steinert, a federal investigation, which brought about the decision to close the institution.
Steinern had his department not aware of any other institutions in the city, but he was one of them.
Abercrombie said North Kansas Savings had been making low-interest real estate loans and paying a higher interest rate on the money.
