their ability to pay. Payment on
the installment plan looked easy, but

John Handley of Scranton, Pa, a
heavy stakeholder in the Equity I'M

ested in Winchester's development,
became even more so after the boom
fizzled, and when he died 1t was found
that he had left the bulk of his estate,
worth about 100000, to the city for
