credited to construction expenditures in order
TO ind an excuse for borrowing money 10 pay

when L was in Alaska. and il was adopted by
the board of directors at a meeting at which I
was not present. Again. IL is said that
tain method of accounting that carried out
would have the effect OF covering up the pay
ment of the special dividend. thereby ntimating
some wrongful concealinent. This IS most
extraordinary statement for the writer of the
report to make. when 1t is considered that the
stockholders necessarily knew of the dividend
because every received his share. and when
1t published in every financial journal at
the time and reported 10 the Stock EX-
change and shown on the printed lists. The
suggestion, therefore. of any reason or desire for
