aols7s 81, have been carefully examine one by one
and close scrutiny made into the title and value OF
each and in of doubt Of the suficsncy Of the
| security, inquiries made of parties not con-
of ST. 7o5 81 have not been admitted because of de.
fecve security The remainder Sc 1874 III TO- u.s. in
my opinion, satisfactorily secured. The policies of

tion stated at $7o4 49, represents its cost value
after deducting membranes, addition being
made for supposed value over COST
