did a poor business. was eventually
dissolved by a government proclama-
ton and william G. Esee was made
receiver nearly eight years ago.
When he died William F. Midledge
became receiver. and the instruments
of the award of the sec, 104 named have
been going into his hands.

MIR. Raymond's client and he is the
substituted trustee for the b~ondholders.
Thomas j. Northrup and Max Rosen-
berg. OF Jersey City, are opposed to the
proceedings.
