COURT ORDERS SALE OF PLANT [Font; lucd from First Page.] that the corporation had defaulted in the payment of interest on a mart- , gage bond issue of $125,000 anil that a public sale of the property should be held, and the mortgage foreclosed. It was alleged by the Trust Com pany that the Water Company failed to pay interest on bonds when it came due April 1 and October 1, 1915. As a result a majority of the bond holders formed an organization it was said, and with the Trust Com pany as trustee, brought the action to foreclose the mortgage for failure to pay interest. Mnny Legal Points A number of legal points about service of the action and other simi lar disputes were raised during the arguments and hearings held during the last year or more, and after the final argument Judge Henry toon the case for consideration reserving his decision until to-day. In the decree the court rules that the. mortgage is a lien against all the property, franchises, lights cf way and other holdings of the AVa ter Company: that default was n.adc in payment of interest, that the mortgage should be foreclosed and the mortgaged property should l>e disposed of at a public sale, all inter est in the property which the AA'ater Company or its receiver may holJ, to . be discharged with the sale.

It was alleged in this sec ond action that there had been two bond issues, both had been calicd "First mortgage bonds." This dls put had not been settled yet.
