The company at that time had about 2,700 subdivided lots and} 265 acres not subdivided. During the fall of 1897 the Improvement Company | had negotiated a loan with a prominent trust company in the city, under which | Company issue $500,000 fir: mortgage | bonds, secured upon its real estate che trust company to become trustee under the mortgage and to loan upon these bonds as collateral and on the com- pany’s notes up to $300,000 Lent Money on 1,575 Lots. “When this proposition was referrad to the company’s counsel he thought it would be preferable to secure a plain mortgage loan, carrying with ft a simple plan whereby as lots were sold the proceeds could be applied to the re- Guction of the priacipal of the loan and the lots released from the lien of the mortgage. In consequence of this ad- vice the loan which {3 now the subject of discussion was seoured froin the Wquitable, “The FEcuitable Life loaned $2 ¥o| upon 1,575 of the company's lots.
