much expression Of false optimism"
This year, there Is again consid-

ARCHBISHOP'S ESTATE IS
VALUED AT ABOUT $4,000

The total value of the estate left
by late Archbishop Austin Bowling
of ST. Paul, who died November 20,
and whose will has been filed for pro-
bate, probably will prove to be less
than $4,000, it is estimated by Rt.
Rev. Thomas A. Welch, Bishop of
Duluth, who is named as executor and
sole legatee.
According to Bishop WEIGH, Arch
bishop Bowling never bought bond,
never made personal investment
for himself. He looked on money
solely as an instrument for doing
what good it might, and especially
for furthering the work of the church.
The whole amount left consists of a
checking account, his library and a
few items of personal property, the
total value of which will be under
$4,000.
