and the time OF the settlement Of the advances
Then II he could contract to pay legal interest
for the use OF the money, and could contract
ea eae Win
that there Ia anything illegal II at the time OF
the settlement he shall be charged with the ad-
ditiOnal dollar per month as the rateable pro-
portion OF the premium which he was to pay.
The language Of article Is Is: "Any stockholdsr
desiring to settle advances shall ce Oh arged
with the actual amount advanced to him and
with all unpaid dues, fines, insurance, taxes
and losses. and credited with the amount Of
dues paid upon the stock upon which such adj
vance has been made, together with the inter-
est accrued at the rate OF 10 per cent. per an-
stock, prior to the date on which such purchase
was made. and upon settling the balance he
shall be entitled to deed OF release" 1t was
argued that the term ''dues" in this article.
original monthly contribution and the addi-
tional dollar per month upon the advance
Now, II that is the effect OF this language, the
result would be that party would simply be
charged with the advances without any inter-
est, and credited with what he had paid in.
He would have had the use OF the money for
nothing: l do not see that that could have
additional ollar per month was a
substitute for premium and interest, aud q
party should not be credited with that as
against the principal OF the advance. In other
words, dollar per month was a premium for
the enjoyment OF this advance with the special
advantage attached to 1t, instead OF interest on
the sum advanced. A great deaf Of hardship Is
said to result from this provision, but rather
Incline to the belief that It results from improv-
1dent contracts 10 pay high premium.
Now this leads me to the conclusion that the
contract requires the party to be charged with
the original advance, expenses, &C.. in con-
form1ty with the 18th article, and not to be
credited as against them with the additional
dollar per month. The auditors report, which
