suggested in MT Sheldon's offer, this new issue to be allotted to the present stockholders on a pro- rata basis.
 As the case now stands, the nec- essary papers for retirement of the receivership are being made out to be presented in court, All the motions pending under the receiv- ership in superior court were con- tinued for one week this morning until the receivership papers are brought into court.
 The modified plan of the Shell don offer was recommended to the stockholders by a committee of three especially appointed by the stockholders themselves to consid- CT the Sheldon offer .when it was presented two weeks ago. Under the original plan called for, the issuance of $500,000 in preferred stock, all of which he and those he represented, would purchase.
 The stockholders approved his reorganization plan. Under the modified form, every stockholder' may subscribe to the new issue of preferred stock to an amount pro- portional to the amount of stock which he holds. Mir Sheldon and the interest associated with him are reported to be ready to pur- chase $500,000 of this new issue.
 Another change in the original plan is that the preferred stock cannot be exchanged for common stock on a share for share basis, as proposed in the Sheldon original offer. The provision calling for res ignation of the present directors and the election of new board is adopted under the stockholders ac- tion. Also, in accordance with the original plan, holders of the pre- ferred stock have the right to vote for the new directors. The pre- ferred stock will continue to have sole voting power until dividends have been paid for three successive years.
 Another proposition in the origi- nal plan-reducing the par value of the common stock from $10O to $25 -is also retained. This will mean the reduction in the common stock outstanding from four million to one million dollars.
 The committee which recom- mended the adoption of the modi- fled Sheldon offer was composed of John H. Goss, Bonnet Bronson and Walter Holmes. Langdon H. Roper, who succeeded Irving H. Chase as president of the Water bury Clock Co and Allan Osborne who succeeded MT Chase as treas urer, were receivers since the ac- tion was brought in court over a month ago. MT. Sheldon is the son. in-law of MT Chase. The receiver ship action was brought by the holders of the controlling interest representing 21,626 of the 10000 shares. They and the number of shares of stock they own are as follows:
 Irving H. Chase, e47s shares; Frederick S. Chase. 2150 shares; Mary White, 2000 shares; Arthur R. Kimball, 2000 shares; Lucy Dye, 5000 shares: Helen Chase, 2000 shares; Mary Chase KimbaM, 2000l shares and Elsie Chase, 2000 shares.
