court of Chancery, a petition for an order
directing or permitting the sale, by auc-
ton or privately. of the plant, equipment
fixtures, stock and all material on hand,
in short all property owned by the COM
panN. They state that they have de-
termned that it is unwise to continue for
any length of time the operation of the
plant and that to do so would result in
large loss to all interested and depreci-
alton i'm the value of the property The
conditions of the business are such. they
say. that to close down and let the plant
remain idle for any considera BILE length
of time would greatly depreciate the
value of the plant and property con-
nected herewith, and that an immediate
sale is in their opinion, the only safe
method to best protect the interests of
all concerned. Judge Tyler has ordered
that all the parties interested, including
the mortga gees and creditors, appear be-
fore him in the office of the clerk of the
court in Brattleboro, May 31st, at 10
