LOAN IS NOT USURIOUS.
Judge Bum Refuses to Set Aside a
Mortgage on That Ground.

"OTtSakc Oh Ahdt WTOuhus
In the action brought by Joseph Reid
against the Rice Street Building society, to
set aside a bond and mortgage, the
ground of usury. Judge Bum has filed a
decision denying the plaintiffs application.
The court holds that the contract Is not
usurious, and that the plaintiff is not en-
titled to an accounting other relief.
In the accompanying memorandum Judge
Bum says:
The defendant is and always has been Q
mutual building association, within the mean
ing of the statute of this state, providing
that any premium for preference or priority
taken by any mutual building association for
any loan of its funds shall not be deemed
interest within the meaning of any law of
this state, nor shall any excess of such pre-
MUM over any rate of interest permitted by
the laws Of this state be deemed or held to
be usury. The provision contained in the by
laws of the defendant, to the effect that no
money should be loaned at less premium than
30 per cent, and the agreement by plaintiff
to pay premium of so per cent for the said
loan to him, pursuant to said bylaw, did not
make said loan usurious.
