On August 22, 1903, the company entered into a contract with the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, the Lincoln Trust Company, the Mercantile Trust Company, and the St. Louis Union Trust Company, as trustees, under which it assigned all subscriptions which were at that date wholly or partly unpaid, together with all further subscriptions which might be received, and the premium to be received on the sale of $239,000 souvenir gold coin, in consideration of the sum of $600,000, with a provision that when the trustees should have received the full sum of $600,000, together with interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum and expenses of collection and management, they would reassign the subscriptions and rights to the company. Prior to the completion of the loan there was received by the company from the sources assigned upwards of $162,000, and this amount was deducted from the loan, making the net amount received by the company $438,000. Payments were subsequently made on account of this loan out of the receipts from the above-mentioned sources, and on March 15, 1904, the balance then outstanding of $92,515.25 was paid out of the general funds of the company, in anticipation of receipts from the sources assigned and with a view to effecting a saving of interest charges. It should be added that the subsequent receipts from capital stock subscriptions have amounted to more than the amount temporarily advanced out of the general funds of the company. Admissions. We have agreed the figures of receipts shown by the books of the auditor and the treasurer with those of the admissions department.
