TO WIND UP
AFFAIRS OF PERKINS
MANUFACTURING co.

AUGUSTA, GA. Aug. Sat a meet
}ng Of the creditors of the Perkins Man
ufacturing Company. held here John
P. Mulherin. George A Toale and
George F. White were elected perma-
nent trustees. They were instructed
TO wind UP the affairs of the company
as quickly S possible.
AS soon as the concern acknowledged
bankruptcy Joseph Ganahl, referee.
named Messrs. MuIherin and Toale as
receivers. Within day or two the
announcement came from Macon that
Judge Emory Speer had held up the ap-
pointments because Mr. Ganahrs term
or office had expired and he had no
right to make the appointments. Speer
then sent George F. White, United
States marshal, to Augusta to take
charge. About the time that White
came over Judge Speer reappointed
Ganahl and subsequently Messrs.
White, Mulherin and Toale were named
temporary receivers by the referee.
Now, the three temporary receivers
have been made permanent trustees.
