Wells was simply awaiting the pleasure
OF Governor Cutler in the matter of
turning over the securities and that
when the request came for them he lost
no time in checking up and prepa ring
for the transfer.
In addition TO the dissatisfaction over
the matter of handling the securities it
IS also asserted that the Information
has been given the new administration
that number of mortgages will have
TO be foreclosed before the state can
recover the money loaned. How many
cases of this kind exist or how large
the sums involved is not known at this
time, but the assurance is given thai
the state cannot possibly lose a cent.
This is another matter that viii re-
ceive the attention of the board after
the securities have been turned over
