In case of insolvency. unsecured debtors
would receive about % cents on the dollar, but
by realizing on the New England Shipbuilding
Co.. both firms being considered one, il does
not seem that any one will get less than 100
per cent. of his due. The plan for settlement
in substance is: The firms agree to assign to
three trustees. VIZ. Capt. q. q. Goss and
Charles III. Mcclellan for secured creditors, and
David /. Percy for the unsecured creditors, ell
property: thus protecting creditors Of both
classes The trustees by unanimous action are
to compromise claims or sell property. If at
the end of IS months the firms have discharged
their Indebtedness, heir property is to be re-
turned: If not. another trustee is to ill Mr..
Go>> place. and the property be distributed
according to the insolvency act. The success
of this plan depend, largely upon the future
value of the New England Shipbuilding Com
pans'> stock The company i now doing a
successful business. Nearly every creditor
signed this agreement. Mr.. Goss stated in
reply 10 question that no property had been
transferred not legally made over before they
