About $30, 900 would need to be spent in carrying on the work and the cred itors he represented thought they ought to have a practical man for receiver. According to the treasurer of the com $92, 900 and its net assets $44,00O, so that it seemed they would suffer a 50 per cent. loss anyway.
 Attorney James said that his side of the case ha dconsidered that the re- ceiver would be called upon to act more in an administrative capacity and that they assumed that he would employ MT. F'enton to carry out the contracts to completion and that they thought there would be larger expense if a. new man were introduced to the work already under way than if ii were carried on through MT. Moran as receiver
 Judge Shunlway inquired if MT Moran had been carrying on the work since he had been appointed tempo rary receiver and was informed that he had beer doing so. The judge con- and Attorney James presented the bond of $10,000 for approval.
 Attorney ShIprnan contended thai the bond was not large enough in view Of the large amount of money thai would pass through the receivers hands, and the judge ordered that the bond be made s2o,00o, meanwhile ap. proving the $i0.000 bond that had beer offered.
 This concluded the business of ths hearing, and court adjourned.
