Over $4, 000, 000 were spent on those items. Such was the case when the Inter- borough was raising money when it entered into the famous contract with the city in 1913. It is an old practice for the banker-director to make terms upon which he, as banker, would advance money to the corporation of which he is an influential director. This dual capacity of the director makes the corporation a source of con- stant sapping for the financier. Louis D.
