The money which was raised on the
underwriting was used principally in
buying oyster lands and oysters in
1911. The properties were bought on
signed reports Of three men, viz
Messrs. L. C. Brooks, F. S. Beardsley
and D. K. Cole, who stated in each
case they considered the price was
reasonable and the purchase a desir
able one for the company. We had in
vestigated these men and they were
all represented as honest, able and Of
first-class ability-they were all stock
holders. We believe now that they de-
ceived themselves, but the fact re.
mains their appraisal Of tn eoysters
was very much too high. In the case
of the lands and boats it has been
proved their appraisal was more near
ly reliable.
About April, 1911, the board of dl,
rectors engaged William H. Raye as
treasurer, with instructions to open a
main office in Boston, and immediate.

The directors had a meeting with
the old managers, who brought in
their requisition of how the money
should be used in extending the bust.
ness and also a selling policy was laid
out for the company. This was in the
summer of 1911. This estimate provid-
ed for sales Of s1,4O0, 900, with earnings
of $375,00O net. The various requisi.
lions were passed on for money for
improving the plants, beds, etc
In order to retire our bank loans
and to consummate additional pur.

advisable, an issue Of $2,500,0 900 three
year notes was authorized
Mr.. Brooks seemed to be thoroughly
worn out by his exertions and the di.
rectors consented to his taking a long
vacation after he had mapped out and
we had adopted his plans for running
the company.
lnasmuch as the company had pur-
chased a large number Of properties
within a short space of time, it was
deemed advisable to have a careful ap-
praisal made of all these properties,
including oysters on the beds, in order
to better establish the assets on the
books Of the company With this in
mind, the United States Appraisal
Company was engaged to make an ap.
praisal Of the buildings, boats. ETC.,
which agreed with prices paid for
these properties, while a committee,
consisting Of F. s. Lockwood, ex.shell-
fish commissioner of Connecticut, and
NJ. Merwin. a successful lifelong oys-
terman, together with Capt. Boards
ley and Capt. D. K. Cole, took an ap-
praisal OF the oysters on u beds.
They appraised the number Of oysters
on our beds at 100000 bushels. with
a value Of $4,000 600. These gentle.
men stated to us that they considered
their estimate a very low one, and one
