sEM1-ANNuAL REPORT FILED.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FILED.
 The semi-annual report of the New Haven Trust company, as receiver of the Connecticut Life Insurance com- pany, of Waterbury, was filed in the superior court yesterday. The concern went into the hands of receiver upon the application of Insurance Commits sioner Frederick A. Betts, of this city. In the report is shown the affairs of the company up to October 3. It states that the receiver has sold the Payne land at Waterbury for $2,0o0 and dis posed of the Lake property in the same city for $5,000. Both transactions were made upon an order issued by the court. The sum of $4,2OO has been paid to the c. M. Platt estate on a secured claim. Negotiations for the sale of val uable lands owned by the company and situated at Spokane, Wash, are on, and it is thought that a. good price will be received from this sale. A repre- sentative of the trust company is now in Spokane trying to dispose of the property there. During the six months covered by the report the receiver SIIOWS IHdCJ OuISlQe or LLle Sale OI ldnu, | it got, ,$2,S31 and has. on hand a balance of $2,1OS.94. For legal services the firm of White, Daggett & Tilson,, of this city, was paid $1,O0O.
 On June 15 the superior court order ed that funds held by the receiver be applied to the payment of the mortuary and policy claims against the company until they are fully paid, and if any balance is held it should be applied tc the payment of the general claims. An l appeal has been taken from this order and, in the opinion of the receiver, when the decision is rendered on this appeal and the land at Spokane is sold,
 nothing will stand in the way of ina settlement of the estate.
 Reports of the doings of the receiv- CTS for the Robert. Veitch company formerly in the floral business on
 Chapel street, and for the Phelps & Bartholomew Clock eompahy, of An
 sonia, have been filed in the court and
 will be submitted to Judge Case fol
 approval at the short calendar sessior
 tomorrow.

y no de la demanda que tengan
