ment on the application of John G. Carroll

posed of the transfer was not formally
made, because Mr. Carroll was not pres
ent, his Signature being necessary to af-
feet the transfer. He was represented by

matter was finally adjusted by an agree
ment to reduce the purchase price to
There were many applicants for this
