had been informed by MT. roSmith, chairman of the creditors committee, that he (Mr. BroSmith) considered the sale of the assets the proper method in order that the creditors might be protected. He declared that the Groton Iron Works intended that the $275,000 which 1t would receive from the Emergency Fleet corpora tion would go toward paying the creditors their 20 per cent. cash pay ment and that it would give bond to pay all preferred claims.
 MT. Loughman.. member of the creditors committee, stated that the committee is in favor of accepting the offer of the Groton Iron Works as the best offer made for the yard. The committee had made efforts to find purchasers for the yard, but all these efforts had been exhausted.
 Attorney Arthur Marsh represent ing the Emergency Fleet Corp, said that it was not vital to the corpora ton whether the order took the form of sale or return of assets, but he thought that there was more doubt being raised than was necessary. He said tat whether there was a sale or not She quarter of a million dollars which the Emergency Fleet Corp. is to give would never go into the hands of the receivers as a general fund and that the corporation would hold onto it's money until 20 per cent. went into the hands of the creditors, direct i from the corporation into the pock- i cts of the creditors.
 i Judge Kellogg inquired if there was | anyone representing unsecured credi- ] tors who wished to be heard and At 1 torney Arthur B. Calkins said that he represented about 70 creditors, all of whom are willing to accept the 20 1 per cent. cash payment and the bal dnce in notes. but they wan1 to be
 sure of receiving it. It was not ma terial to them what the form of dis posal of the assets is.
 i Attorney Arthur T. Keefe said that he represented creditors who assented 1 to the offer of the Groton Iron Works
 in no way. He said that the cash of fer was good but he thought that the preferred claims ought to be taken
 care of so that the unsecured credi- tors could get their 20 per cent. cash payment and he thought that it ought
 to be done in the manner suggested
 oy the receivers. ir
 Attorney James of Norwich saiC
 that he represented one creditor oi
 $4,00o who did not propose to have
 anything to do w'Il the compromise
 agreement. His client proposes to ge
 his money if the agreement zoe:
 through or if the receivership Is con
 tinued- to take his chances.
 Judge Kellogg stated that there seemed to be a unanimity of opinion
 regarding the acceptance of the com
 posit agreement. There was only ons
 creditor who seemed willing to ac-
 cept it, the bulk of the creditors being
 in favor. He said that in view of thii fact the order should be drawn so that one creditor would be unable to at. tack and prevent the consummatior of the agreement Judge Kellogg saiC that he thought that the order of tn, court should take the form of sal, . and he directed that all parties con cerned get together and prepare al
 order for presentation to him at O. clock.
