GARAGE COMPANY ASSIGNS.
The w. A. Wright Garage, Inc, of St
JohnSbury in Trouble.

ST. JOHNSBURI. May 5.-The W.
\. Wright garage, inc. has made an
assignment OF all its property to Arthur
Bear of st bloomsbury, for the UclrS
eft Of its creditors. This business was
started by W. ~ Wright twelve on
thirteen years ago and was ineorpor-
ated last August. The business mas been
successful, but has always been hand.
icapped by lack o. sufficient capital
with which to carry on the volume Of
business done, and this is the cause OF
the present difficulties The assets OF
the corporation which were assigned
aggregated $4,000 book value, and the
liabilities secured and unsecured viii
not exceed $4,000
At meeting Of 4 number of the
largest creditors held Monday it was
thought that the interests Of all the
creditors could be b st conserved by
carrying on the business as a goina
concern through the medium OF an as
signment. While the book value of the
assets as above stated may shrink 70
some extent in liquidation, il is con
iidcntlv expected that the creditors
viii eventually nearlT receive the
amount of their claims in full. if not
quite. Mr.. Carr, the assignee, has becr
connected with this concern FOR tht
past four years as bookkeeper and rs
treasurer for the corporation.
