For several years the Union Mutual
Life Insurance Company has been the
owner of some ten acres of unimproved
real estate known as the University
property in the city of Chicago. 1t is
located between Rhodes avenue and
the lake. some three miles south of the
postoffice in that city. The soil is of
dry gravel loan. occupying the highest
poirt in the residence portion of the
South Side, easy of access from the
business center of the city. and every
way desirable for homes of professional
or business men.
The circumstances attending the
requirement of this property by the
Company are well understood by the
public. and need not be repeated in this
report. 1t is sufficient to state that it's
ownership was occasioned as neces-
sity to secure the Company against a
large loss for money loaned by it In
good faith many years ago.
Early in 1898 it was decided by your
Board of Directors that the time had
come when the property should be i'm

become an income bearing asset. Ac-
