been arrived at by underyalnation OF the
assets OF the bank that upon an examination mado In
January as by the appraiser OF the bank there was no
deficit but surplus OF $4,000, hereabouts but In
the pre- ,eut depressed condition OF real estate there
might deficit; that the affairs OF the bank could

ccver hut sked modification Of the order to allow the
