ment to consolidate with the Monarch
He is quoted as saying that II the pro-
posed merger Is made, all the outstand-
ing indebtedness OF the Majestic will
be taken care OF, while II II fails,
about the only thing left will be to al

he states, has no authority TO close
negotiations and make a transfer OF
the properties. at least not until the
assent OF the stockholders Is obtained
So notice explaining the situation
will be mailed to them during the pres

been expended by the Majestic COM
pany In the equipment Of its proper
ties, paying for labor and other ex-
penses since It's organization.
