pressly made by its terms subject to every mortgage
the income mortgage must be subject to the right 10

by their terms allowed to be issued that the failure to
paw the sinking fund does not destroy the vaildy OF
the issue. and that obligation to pay the sinking

leased by the former and that in fact the bondhoders
