Henry Smith as master has filed his
report On the annual account of J. O.
| Carter and George R. Carter, trustees
under the viii OF II. A. p Carter. de-
ceased in which he says:
The trustees charge themselves with
| the sum Of $247, 1864, and ask to be
allowed the sum OF SLIT 1892, leaving
J a balance of S7O,0O4.42 TO their next
accounts, which totals l have verified.
The trustees report the repayment OF
the sum of S26,00o advanced by them
last year towards paying taxes Oh the
Seattle property in order 10 preserve
the loan upon the same; that the build
ing on said property has been realized
upon; taat out Of the proceeds thereof
they have paid in accordance with the
provisions Of the win one-sixth (ne0
to the heirs of the late c. l.. Carter,
and that they have applied to the prin-
cipal Of the estate the remaining five
sixths, amounting to S49, 3S7.37, after
deducting the usual commissions. The

Speaking of the financial outlook OF
this large estate the master says:
The past financial year has been
one of unprecedented prosperity both
as to the accumulation of principal and
a corresponding increase in the income
account. Each of the beneficiaries have
received income averaging not less
than $1,000 per month. The Seattle in
vestment, of course, was one of the
causes for this healthy state of the ac-
count, but aside from that the dividend
receipts of the estate have also largely
augmented the income account and
there are prospects Of still better re-
suits owing to the extension of the |
business conducted by corporation |
known as c. Brewer & Company, of |
which the testator was, in his life time, |
the senior member.
Il submit the following comparison |
of the present worth Of the estate: The |
last inventory amounted to the total |
sum of s154,4S3.99: this years inven-
tory puts the total footing at $685.,
453.3 sc. which is a gain CT nearly 20 per
cent over last years inventory
The master reports the trustees ac
counts correct Il very respect and
that he has examined all the securi-
ties, and finally hat he recommends
the approval OF The accounts by the
Court.

lua case was proceeded with. B. F.
