The footing or base course under all foundations, and under all piers, columns, posts or pillars resting on the earth, shall be of stone or concrete, where, in the judgment of the commissioners, the nature of the ground or the weight to be sustained may require it, and if under a foundation wall, shall be at least twelve inches wider than the bottom width of the said wall; and if under piers, columns, posts, or pillars or truss girders, shall be at least twelve inches wider on all sides thnn the bottom width of such piers, columns, posts or pillars, and not less than twelve inches in thickness; and if built of stone, thestone thereof shall not be less than two feet by three feet, and shall be at least eight inches in tliickness; all base stones shall be well bedded and laid edge to edge; if the walls be built of isolated piers, there must be inverted arches, at least twelve inches lihick, turned under and between the piers, or two foot¬ ing courses of large stone, at least ten inches thick in each course.

The provisions of an act applying to all life irsurance companies authorize such com¬ panies to purchase, hold, or convey such real estate as'may have been mortgaged to it in good faith, byway, first, ofsecurity for loans previously contracted; second, such as shall have been con¬ veyed to it in satisfaction of debts previously contracted in the course of its dealings, or such as shall have been purchased at sales upon judg¬ ments, decrees, or mortgages obtained or made for such debts; all such real estate as may be so acquired shall be sold and disposed of within five years after such company shall have ac¬ quired title to the same unless the Superintend¬ ent of the Insurance Department certifies ihat the inlerfst.t of the company will suffer materially by a forced sale of such real estate. Title eight of the act to amend the charter of the City of Brooklyn is amended by adding thereto the foUowing: "It shall not be lawlul for the purchaser of any property that may have been or may hereafter be sold for unpaid taxes, assessments, or water rates, to charge or receive more than ten per cent, per annum interest upon the money which said purchaser may have paid for such property and taxes, nor more than fifty cents for each notice now by law required to be served by such purchaser upon the owner, moitgagee, lessee, or assignee of such property."
