resolved to reincorporate. This will give
a clear way to allow of the sale of the
temple and the adjoining lot.
The board of directors is constituted as

taly, Simon Silverburg, Lipman Sachs,
Philip Lippitt, Simon Newman, l. ".

ton maintain the right TO worship in the
present temple for two years, the time
which it will take to erect the new edi-
fee.

Heilig agreed to sign a statement of facts, prepared by the attorneys of tn town, which was to be presented to the court. This statement showed the injustice of the wharf monies going to the fed eral government instead of to the town, and there was every reason to believe the judge would have decided in favor of the town, but Heilig left without signing the statement. and later wired his deputy not to sign for him. With out the clerks signature the court can take no action on this state ment of facts, and 1t forces the town to institute mandamus pro- ceedines, which can not be settled until next year.
