ASKS FOR A RECEIVER,
Trust Company Looking After Its
Property Rights.

The st. Paul Trust company has be-
gun an action against the trustees Of
Manchester college to recover the sum
of $76,5OO alleged to be due the plaintiff
on the bond issue of $1,000 dated
July 1, 1891, and payable July 1, 1896
The trustees issued eighty bonds at
$500 each, and forty bonds at $500 each,
to the st. Paul Trust company. To Sc
cure these bonds, the defendants gave
the plaintiff a trust deed or mortgage
of certain real property.
The complaint further alleges that
at and prior to the date. the bonds
were issued, Manchester college was in
debted to various persons to the extent
of $125,000. In order TO eventually clear
off this indebtedness, the college trus-
tees, so the complaint alleges, obtained
subscriptions or contracts. for an
amount exceeding $125,0 These sub
scriptions or contracts, We're likewise
handed over to the St-sPaul Trust COM
pany as additionalusecurity of collateral
for the payment Of the. bonds 1t was
understood however, that the proceeds
of the subscriptions or contracts, if
enforced, were first to be applied to
the payment of the general indebted
ness of the college
The st. Paul Trust company asks to
be appointed receiver for the purpose
of collecting the subscription contracts
and to take the usual proceedings to
collect the judgment when rendered.

PUT OVER A YEAR.
Laurel Avenue VIII Not BE Repaved
This Season,


Property owners residing on Laurel
avenue between Nina avenue and Dale
street made a strong kick yesterday to
the board Of public works against the
paving of that street. f. w. M.
CutcheOn, who appeared for the proper
ty owners, Directing to the improve
ment, said he represented forty-one of
the seventy-nine owners and 3,400 feet
of the frontage. There was no conten-
ton as to the need Of the street be-
ing paved, but it would practically re-
suit in a conf1scation of considerable
Of the property, if the improvement
as ordered. Many of the owners would
have to borrow the money to pay the
assessment, and some of them had in
formed him that it would be impossible
to raise the money to pay ror the paw
ing.
George Thompson favored the i'm
prOvement, but was willing to let the
matter rest for a year, if the owners
would agree to have the paving done
at that time. Those present agreed to
this action, it was decided an adverse
report should be made to the council
The construction of a sewer on Gau1-
tier street was also opposed by the
property owners, and action was defer
red. In the tax estimate for this year
81, 500 was appropriated for the sewer,
but as it would cost the property own
ers an additional $4,000, strong objection
was made against it.
The matter of constructing a sewer
on ST. Adams street preparatory to or
dering the construction of a cross town
street car line was discussed and the
board decided to submit an adverse re-
port to the council.
