mortgage that would, at the time of the investment, have been a

amount advanced in excess of the lesser amount with interest.

Concurrence by trustee in corporate schemes

debentures or other securities of the other

corporation allotted to the trustee pursuant to the

reasonable and proper investments, accept any securities of any

denomination or description of the reconstructed or purchasing or

new corporation instead of or in exchange for all or any of the

original securities.

(2) A trustee is not responsible for any loss occasioned by any act

or thing done in good faith under subsection (1) and the trustee

respects reasonable and proper investments, retain them for any

period for which the trustee could have properly retained the

original securities.

Subscription for securities

any securities in any company is offered to a trustee in respect of

any holding in the company, the trustee may, as to all or any of the

securities,

the trust in payment of the consideration, or renounce

the right, or

(

b) assign for the best consideration that can be reasonably

obtained the benefit of that right, or the title to it, to any

person, including any beneficiary under the trust,

without being responsible for any loss occasioned by any act or

thing so done by the trustee in good faith.

dwelling unit would have its own control system for

the heating system. It is not expected that

homeowners would be required to install a second

boiler and piping system in the case of a radiant floor

heating system. It would be necessary, however, to

ensure that each dwelling unit would have its own

independent ventilation system.
