Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (Abatix Environmental

Corp., Common Stock, $0.001 Par

Value) File No. 1–10184

June 19, 1996.

Abatix Environmental Corp.

(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified security

(‘‘Security’’) from listing and

registration on the Boston Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, as of the

April 30, 1996, the Company had

2,088,964 shares of Security

outstanding. The Security constitutes

the sole class of voting securities of the

Company. Each share of Security

entitles the holder thereof to one vote on

all matters to come before a meeting of

stockholders.

The trades of the Company’s Security

on the BSE since 1989 have been

minimal. In addition to the indirect

costs (filing of period reports, etc.)

related to being listed on the BSE, the

Company pays $1,000 per year in direct

fees.

The Security is currently listed on

The Nasdaq SmallCap Market tier of

The Nasdaq Stock Market. The issuer

cannot justify the expense of being

listed on an exchange and the Nasdaq

SmallCap system and thereby, wishes to

withdraw from the BSE.

Any interested person may, on or

before July 11, 1996 submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.

Secretary.

File No. 1–12630

June 19, 1996.

CenterPoint Properties Corporation

(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder to

withdraw the above specified securities

(‘‘Securities’’) from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Securities from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, it has

listed the Security with the New York

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’). In

making the decision to withdraw the

Securities from listing on the Amex, the

Company considered the direct and

indirect costs and expenses attendant on

maintaining the dual listing of the

Securities on the NYSE and on the

Amex. The Company does not see any

particular advantage in the dual trading

of the Securities and believes that dual

listing would fragment the market for its

Securities.

Any interested person may, on or

before July 11, 1996, submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges and what terms,
