Appointments include Phrow Trus wel Mears Tayion Racine Perrincutt Durand and Posiston Freeport to direct the group’s earnings from the line De Jeit to Freeport to pay its script. First mortgage holders of the West Division align with the Trustees, while the road is pledged to secure advances against the cross country route, with ten percent interest. No advances occur until securities are deposited with Trustees. The piece notes proposed loans to the company along the route, secured by lands held by the Trustees, with interest at ten percent whether large or small, to secure payment.
