which goes into effect July /.
The law provides for a tax of one-half
OF per cent on all real estate mortgages
which come into existence after May 81.
so far as we are concerned said
Mr.. Puleyn, I'VE cannot afford 10 have
our income impaired. We are under OBJ
legations to our depositors to give them
all that we can fairly and legitimately
make on the money we invest for them.
Therefore we will have TO take the full
amount OF the tax out OF those who
borrow money on real estate. The aver
age rate OF interest on our mortgages is
now four per cent. The average rate will
be four and one-half per cent on mort
cages made on and after July !"
Mr.. Pulleyn was asked IL other money

the example OF his bank.

Inquiry among other savings banks and
among the title insurance companies
brought forth the general statement that
every effort would he made by the lend
ers OF money TO transfer the burden OF
the tax 10 borrowers.
Mr.. Pulleyn said he did not foresee
any great difficulty in raising the inter-
est rate. 1T is true" he said. that there
is a probs bility that considerable sum
Of money will come into the lending
market from the funds of trust estates,
which are now largely invested in New
York city securities.
They are now subjected TO a tax OF
IA per cent as personality. which tax by
reinvestment in realty bonds and mort
cages can be reduced 10 one-half per cent
But II must be remembered that before
such reinvestment can be accomplished
the New York city securities must be
sold for what they will bring. They can
not always be disposed Of offhand at

Elsewhere II was said that there are
