Liability of Stockholders.

The proposition of the receiver of the
defunct Northwestern Guarantee Loan
company of Minneapolis to assess the
stockholders for value on their stock,
claiming that he had a right and legal
power to do so under recent rulings of
the courts of Massachusetts, lead the st.
Johnsbury Republican to call Hon. c. A.
Prouty's attention to the recent action
of Receiver Hale and asked his opinion
as to the probable result, as in 1893
soon after the failure of the company.
several eastern stockholders, fearing
some such action as has now been sug-
gested, placed their interests in the
hands of Mr.. Prouty and he made a
thorough investigation of the whole
subject matter. In reply Mr.. Prouty
said: "Some years ago | examined this
question as to the liability of the North
western stockholders as carefully as |
could and then came to the conclusion
that. while the course of judicial decision
probability was that this liability could
not be enforced against Vermont stock
holders. Recently have carefully read
the majority and dissenting opinions of
the circuit court of appeals at Boston
and also late opinion of the supreme
court of Vermont which bears upon this
question. On the whole feel about this
now substantially as | did formerly.
There is some doubt, but | do not be-
lleve that Vermont stakeholder, with
less than $1,000 of the stock certainly,
can be liable. At any rate, it seems
perfectly plain that Vermont stockhold-
ers ought to take some concerted action
in the matter. An agreement with this
view was formed some years ago and is
now in effect, but the agreement was
not subscribed by all the stockholders.
have already corresponded with several
parties, and as soon as | have time to
give the matter attention, which will be
in very few days, shall endeavor to
perfect an organization of all of the
Vermont stockholders in that COMPANY"

Rutland City Hospital.

The annual report of the Rutland City
hospital for the year ending July l, 1899,
which is submitted to the governor of
the state, is Just ready and gives some
interesting facts, says the Rutland
News The report contains the number
of cases treated and the outcome of
them, as to whether the patient was
cured, improved or died. The report
shows that so persons were treated dur
ing the year; that out of that number
only eight died There were u medical
cases and sc surgical cases treated and
all but two of the surgical cases were
successful and the patients left the hos
pitai cured. 1t seems to be the general
impression that appendicitis cases are es-
pecially apt to be fatal, but the report
shows that out of eight operations for
that trouble but one was fatal and that
the other seven left the hospital cured.
