CHAPTER XVI


 Jack had said 1t is a great thing to Keep moving: and. although so devoid or experience in relation to land and building speculations, he had here uns
 doubtedly stumbled upon a primo truth.
 For complete and striking success with any land development scheme, there
 must be no delay: you must march for ward to the appointed goal without long halts or even frequent brief pauses occasioned by meeting unfore-
 seen obstacles. Time is money all the way. Time. therefore-time to gain or
 tune to lose--was the matter to be first thought of whenever MT. Crunden put
 on his considering cap.
 This was his position financially. Such backing as was necessary he ob-
 tained from the Medford District Uni
 ted Bank. He could have raised money through solicitors who make it their business to finance builders, etc.. but i1e had seen too much of the trouble and discontinue that come with that form of support Bank aid is dear; but it Is
 the safest aid you can seek, and, for
 sound operation. it is the cheapest
 In the end. To his good bank friends
 he had gone then. after boldly bidding
 37,000 pounds for Hill Rise. He was worth 26,000 to 27o00 himself; all else
 must be supplied by the bank. He be-
 gan to sell his property without an
 hours delay: realizing all his stocks
 and shares, and going slow only with his ground rents, which, of course, can- not be sold in a tearing hurry. He soon, had 22,000 in hand; and the bal ance of 15.000. with a further 5.000 for working capital. he borrowed from the bank or the security of the title deeds of Hill Rise.
 Nothing could have been better than tho treatment of Mir. Crunden by the bank authorities. solid man to deal with, no risk to them--why not? They fell in with all his views: and this was the method adopted for the perfectly legitimate transaction. The bank agreed to let the loan take the form of an overdraft, with a maximum of 10000 pounds, which maximum was to be re- duced by minimums of 1000 every three months; but Mir. Crunden was free to pay off as much as he liked whenever he liked The bank completed the pur-
 chase for him. and received the deeds from his London solicitor. Then such copies were taken as Mir. Eaton required for preparing conveyances of the build ing plots;--and then the deed went down into the banks strong and dark room. never to emerge and rise into the light again until the bank book showed
 MT. Crunden's balance on the right hand instead of the ,left-hand page. The deeds would soon come out--Mr Crunden felt no Qualms; Mir. Bowling was bubbling over with enthusiasm. By realization of the remainder of his old ground rents, Mir. Crunden would stead fly reduce the overdraft; by sale of eligible plots, of all buildings that he
 himself put up. of each new ground lease as created, he would make fur
