a masters report Of considerable
length was filed by P. Danson Kellet,
Jr., yesterday in the matter of the es-
tate of James Dodd, deceased, in pur-
suance of the order of court referring
to the accounts of Rebecca A. Dodd
and Robert William Cathcart, execu-
trix and executor thereof, filed.
The accounts and schedules filed in
the matter are carefully gone over and
analysed and found to be correct, but
the masters report specifies that it
does not recommend. at this time, the
discharge of the executor and execu-
trix, as petitioned for. AS reasons for
this the report gives a list OF unfinished
matters that are cited as demanding
further attention. The Beach road
property is shown to be still in the pos
session of the executors. they having
been unable 10 sell the same at the up
set price of $4,000, as per order of the
court. The San Francisco property of
the estate, valued at $13,250, is subject
J to mortgage of $4,000 which is not
yet settled AS far as known the mat
| ter of administration is still pending
in the same court of San Francisco, be-
ing attended 10 by said Rebecca A
Dodd, from whom no returns in the
matter have been received by the mas
ter. Also there are not sufficient funds
on hand to satisfy the amount OF the
legacies in full unless the legatees are
} willing TO take pro rata and
the residuary legatees are will
} ing to take chances on the remain
! der, if any, Of the San Francisco prop
erty, all of which, according to the
masters report, would have to be mu-
tually agreed.
The master recommends sane bust
ness policies in reference to the Beach
road property, as to the best methods
of enhancing rentals, defraying ex-
penses, etc.
The totals of the accounts, as verified
by the master are as follows: Com
J missions of executors, $4,000; receipts
of executors for their term, $14, 469 80,
and their disbursements, S6,516.54
