If at that meeting, or one called by the trustees without application, the holders of a majority of the interests there represented vote to redeem the prior mortgage, each one may contribute his proportion to the redemption. The trustees shall give immediate notice of the vote by publishing it as above and shall in the notice state the time and place of payment and the amount to be paid on each $100 as nearly as may be. If anyone fails to pay his proportion, any other person interested in the subsequent mortgage may pay it and succeed to all his rights except as otherwise provided.
