Sec. 16-252. Bonds may be secured by mortgage. All such bonds may be secured

its president, under its corporate seal, to the Treasurer of the state, and his successors
in office, in trust, for the holders of such bonds, and recorded in the office of the Secretary
of the State, and such mortgage shall secure equally all such bonds as may be issued
from time to time to the full amount specified in the mortgage, and may include not

by it. In such mortgage deed, it shall be sufficient to describe the lines, wires, poles,
conduits, equipment and apparatus of the telephone company, in general terms and by
