STOCK COMPANIES ANNUAL REPORTS.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL REFUSES TO BRING
ACTIONS FOR FAILURE TO MAKE THEM
Albany. June 3.-Attorney-Genera Hancock has
written an important opinion on the filing OF an
nual reports by corporations. In which he holds
that 1t would be abuse of State power to attempt
10 vacate the charters OF corporations which do not
file their annual reports according TO the letter Of
the Stock Corporation law This opinion is the re-
suit Of the application OF Roswell W. Kcene and
others for permission begin action 10 vacate
the charter of the Newtown Gas Company and the
New:own Light and Power Company and 10 re-
move their directors from office because the COM
panies did not file with the Secretary of State their
annual reports.
In his opinion the Attorney General says that only
about 10 per cent of the stock corporations file an
nual reports. that the atute was enacted for the
benefit Of creditors and in substance that IL would
be an abuse of discretion to begin actions to dis
solve companies upon complaints OF this nature
made by taxpayers.
