IMPORTANT TO BUILDING SoctRTIES.— The court of appeals recently rendered a decision h will put a stop to the practice of building associations selling under power in mortgages. ‘The court decides that only a natural and not an altificial person (as a sorporatiom can exo. cutea power of sale, and that when the mort- gage authorizes a sale by the association or its attorney or agent, neither the association no the attorney can sell unless the attorney 1s des- ignated by name in the mortgage. The effec of this decision will be to necessitate associa- tions obtaining decrees for sale by fling bills to foreclose their mortgages in the way ordinarily pursued by mortgagees before the practice of selling under power came in vogue: The deci- as have already been made and ratified by the court (although it, wilt ‘stop such sales in the future), nor does it affect the validity of the mortgages themselves.— [balt.
