OF the defunct New York Building

officers OF the company tried to push
thru resolution which involved a 90
per cent assessment on the stock. The
meeting. which was Gated by the of
iieers of the company, right have been
attended by 1900 stockholders, as
there are that many books. Neverthe-
less. a room which would hold scarcely
$50 percons was set aside as the place
for the meeting. Three thousand, natu-
rally, could not get inside, but they had
their way just the same.
Recently the stockholders obtained
an order from Justice Dugro takin:,

spite OF this. however. the directors
met some days ago and passed a reso-
luton to the effect that $4,000 Dc
charged pro rata against credits to TIM
shares of stock of the company's share
holders.
The stockholders tried to stop the
meeting, but could not argue the off,

resolved to descend on the meeting in

vote. They clamored around the halls,
and set up such din that it was i'm
possible for the officers to make them
selves heard inside the little meeting
room.

up just as preliminary proposition
was made TO throw the officers out OF

the stockholders take charge of the
meeting themselves, and succeeded In

Selner read a statement, in which he
said that the folly ana kllavery of tbs

meeting was Illegal, and was greeted
with boots and groans.
