THE CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RAILROAD
Receiver Tyson has made his report prior
to surrendering his receivership. He leaves
a cash balance of 500, 1851 in bank. In this
report he says:
And in the month of October he also is
sued a circular stating that he would at an
early date apply to The court for permission
to pay off the back pay-rolls out of the sur
plus accommodating in his hands from the
surplus earnings, after defraying current
expenses. He has regretted that the un-
certainty growing out of the pending liti-
cation has prevented him from applying
for the necessary authority to make these
payments, although the amount now in
hand shows that his original design might
easily have been carried out within the
next month or two.
Before Judge Bond, in Baltimore, We'd
nesday, an order was entered directing Mr.
Tyson to turn over the property of the
company to Gen. Wickham, yesterday.
The court fixed Mr.. Tyson's compensation
as receiver, at Sic, 1000, and that of his two
counsel, at $4,000.
