17:2-1. Bonds secured by mortgage on leaseholds of camp meeting associations--limitations
All savings and loan associations, building and loan associations, title and mortgage guaranty companies and insurance companies may invest funds in bonds, secured by first mortgage, on leasehold estates of real estate in this State of camp meeting associations, to the giving of which bond and mortgage the camp meeting association has consented, subject to the conditions of the lease. The real estate, except as to the leasehold, shall be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of every kind whatsoever, and the leasehold at the time of the giving of the bond and mortgage shall have an unexpired term of not less than 25 years, or shall be renewable to the lessee, his heirs and assigns, for a term of not less than 25 years, and be a lease of the entire interest in the real estate except the reversion. No investment shall be made in excess of 66 2/3 % of the appraised value of the leasehold estate and the improvements thereon; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any loan which is wholly or partially guaranteed or insured by the United States of America, the State of New Jersey or any instrumentality or agency of either, but in case any such loan is only partially guaranteed or insured, then the unguaranteed or uninsured portion of the loan shall not exceed (60%) of the appraised value of the leasehold estate and improvements thereon. The appraisement may be made by a committee of the savings and loan association, building and loan association, title and mortgage guaranty company, insurance company, and, in the case of an individual, by 2 persons appointed by the individual for that purpose. No such investment shall be made until the camp meeting association shall first have been approved for the purpose by the commissioner. For the purposes of this section real estate upon which there is a building in process of construction, which when completed, will constitute a permanent improvement, shall be construed as improved and productive real estate.
