full performance Of fduciary matters by
trust companies organized under the act
mentioned.
It was formerly the custom to deposit
United States bonds with the Comptron-

ness would be facilitated by retaining
the securities and substituting mort
gage upon real estate for them. This is
the course pursued by the Union Trust

The property pledged to secure the mort
gage is all of square No. 13. bounded by
X and L Streets, Delaware Avenue. and
