Duluth Foreclose Mortgage
for $50, $4,000.

A notice of foreclosure sale being
printed in the Duluth Herald shows
that the mortgage given by the Ely
Hotel association on the Forest Hotel
building has been foreclosed and that
the building viii be sold at public auc-

ifs office in the court house in Du-
luth and the building sold to the high
est bidder by the Northern National
Bank of Duluth to cover total OF
S50.480.O0 principal and interest, said
to be due and unpaid.
The building was built in 1927 at
a cost of $4,000 and financed by
local people and bonds issued to the
Northern Trust company IN the
amount of $4,000 due on December 10,
1897. These bonds and the covering
mortgage were later transferred to the
Northern National Bank which now
is the principal in the foreclosure pro-
ceedings.

the Ely Hotel association kept up its
payments on the principal and inter
est from the leases and rents in force
at that time. For the amortization of
the principal and interest the asso-
citation had set $1,000 a year to be

der of the principal and the taxes have
been kept up since that time In
