Foreign Bnilding and Loan Associations Can Not Exact a High Rate of Interest. In a suit brought at Anderson, by the Home Building and Loan association of Illinois to foreclose a mortgage, Judge Ryan sustained a plea in abatement, holding that the building and loan association is an illegal operator, inasmuch as it had not complied with the law which requires foreign corporations operating in this state to file a $100,000 bond with the state to protect investors. Few, it any foreign corporations have complied with this provision of the are therefore doing an illegal business.

If the decision of Judge Ryan is sustained by the Supreme court its effect will be far reaching and if taken advantage of will wipe out encumbrances on much property. Another recent decision holds that foreign loan associations cannot levy fines, special assessments and premiums, and can only collect 6 per cent interest from borrowers of association funds. This decision was recently obtained in a case at Anderson, where a lady borrower alleged that the company claimed she owed 1400 on a loan, while it only 6 per cent interest had been collected, with allowance of interest otf every dollar deposited, the company would be owing her 1200.
