Company will not consider the pur-
chase OF any part of the stock OF the

reasons for not doing so is the fact that
the new company intends building

and there is but little of the property
Of the old company that would be of
value IN doing SO. The business and
good will of the old company Is not
considered sufficient to be of value to
the new company. but more iInpor tant
still is the fact that the purchase OF
this minority stock would in no way re-
iieve or improve the present conditions.
SO long as the Bell Company holds the
