Applies to Amend Charter.

An application for an amend
ment to the charter of the John
Ii Estate was made to Treasurer
Wright yesterday. The proposed
change in the by-laws is in the
section which requires officers to
be elected by three-fourths vote
of the stockholders, the amend
ment making majority vote sutfi
cient.
A protest against the change has
been made by c. A. Brown, Que OF
the stockholders, and who now
manages the estate. If the pre-.
posed change is made he can be
ousted from his position as mau.

vote ia necessary he can prevent
the substitution OF anyone for him
self, holding a sufficient amount of
stock for that purpose. A hearing
on the matter will be held by Gov
