row and some interesting questions
may be asked as to it's exact financial
status and what is to be done con-
corning new financing.
The company has $4.500,0O0 loans
maturing June IA, and some stock
holders are anxious to know how
they will be met. An explanation as
to why this item was not included in
the current liabilities shown in the
annual report may also be forthcom-
ing.
There Is still a. fear expressed in
some quarters that the company may
eventually liquidate and for this
reason shareholders are wondering
over the appraisal of the property
now being taken. So anxious was
the management for proxies at the
meeting that 1t issued two separate
