Of the four important claims against the Merchants Trust Co, two were settled by agreement of counsel to-day, decision has been reserved by the court on the third and the fourth is reported to be near adjustment. All claims came before Judge Newell Jennings in
 The cases settled by chamber superior court. Ns 4 sessions were those of Michaels, Inc. and the claim of William Giampetruzzi. The case reported near adjustment is that of the Peoples Bank and Trust Co. It is the largest claim to be filed against the Merchants Trust Go in the amount of about $200,000.
 The case in which decision is reserved by Judge Jennings is that of the Sanditz & Traurig Go, a $40,- 900 certificate of deposit claim.
 Michael's, Inc, claim was based on an unpaid $2,500 certified check issued by the bank the day before it suspended business in 1891. Att torney Francis T. Reeves, counsel for the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank, receiver, stated in court to-day that. the claim should be given. the statnsyof a commer- cial deposit. He said that adjust. ment was felt to be the best solu- tion in order. that the receiver might avoid an avalanche of sim liar suits. Attorney John H. Cas- sidy represented Michael's.
 Under that status the jewelry firm is entitled to three dividend payments because the receiver has paid three dividends to commer- cial depositors.
 The claim of Giampetruzzi was based on an, agreement he held with the Merchants Co prior to its suspension.
 Giampetruzzi, according to the agreement, was to make necessary expenditures for the repair of property at 268 Congress avenue, Those expenditures were to be; considered when the bank con-. veyed the property to him. He ex- pended $2,224.13 but before the conveyance could be made to him, the bank suspended. Attorney George J. Crocichia appeared for Giampetruzzi.
 The certificate of deposit claim of the Sanditz & Traurig Co was based on certificate issued by the bank to the Sanditz & Traurig Co showing that the company had de- posited cash in the amount of $40.- 00e in the Merchants Trust Co. At the hearing held yesterday in court Peter M Kennedy, former vice. president of the Merchants Trust, testified there was no cash in- volved in the transaction but that it was simply bookkeeping trans- action.
 The Peoples Bank & Trust Co claim was slated to be heard to-. day but after hearing a review of the contested matters, Judge Jen- nings called counsel. Attorney John F. McDonough for the claimant, ans Attorney Reeves. into cham

man as a typical example. He cites figures to show that 51 per cent of all housing built there during the past 10 years was for the Il per cent of the people with in- comes from $3000 to $4000 a year. The incomes of AS per cent of the people, he says, were so low that they could not afford any of newly built residences.
 Consequently he went on many low wage earners were en- couraged to assume rent burdens that were too heavy, with subse- quent disaster to both the produc- CTS and the users.
 That means that half of Phila- delphia's population must live in the old obsolete houses, many of which are not fit for human habi- tation."
 Holsman cites many other in- stances of cities with poor housing accommodations for low wage earn CTS and concludes that construction of this type not only would benefit the nation at large in it's drive toward recovery by supplying work, but would prove most beneficial to those who earn small salaries, from the standpoints of health, sanita- ton and general welfare.

 Income Taxes
By.LYLE C. WILSON

(United Press Stan Correspondent Washington, Oct. 1S-UP)-The question of whether personal corp orations organized by Albert H. Wiggin, $l00,O00-a-year retired head of. the Chase National Bank enabled him to avoid heavy in- come taxation focused the attention of senate investigators on his pri- vate affeirs today.
 Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the senate stock market inyestigat- ing committee, hoped to reach the famous bankers personal business transactions after inquiring into various domestic investments of the Chase Securities Corporation, investment banking affiliaae of the Chase Bank.
 The United Press learned the in- .vestigators had evidence that sever al personal corporations organized ami owned by Wiggin and his fam fly amassed millions of dollars in profits.
 Apart from any profits occruing to these corporations, Wiggin told the United Press he personally had paid federal income tax straight through the depression on the large salary and bonuses paid to him by the bank.
 "I always paid large income tax and paid in 1930-S1-32," Wiggins, said when { asked if he paid in the years in which J. P. Morgan was shown to have avoided income tax in this country.
 winthrop w. Aldrich, son-in-law |of John D. Rockefeller, and Wig gins successor, said he had paid income tax throughout the de- precision.
 T had no corporations or any thing else," Aldrich told the United Press.
 Wiggin's income tax on salary and bonuses alone would have been tremendous from Jan. I, 1928. to June 30, 1883, when he. received $1,367,020 from the bank. He re- ceived bonuses in addition from the Chase Securities Corporation and was on the payroll of various other corporations at from s1,500 to $40,- 900 year as director and adviser.

bers where the matter was dis cussed.
 The claim is based on the mers ger agreement between the Peo- ple's Bank 6 Trust Co and the Merchants Trust Co. The Peoples bank claimed that under the agree ment the Merchants Trust Co was to take over the assets of the for mer bank and pay for them by stock. The stock of the Merchants Trust Co at the time was worth approximately. $202,000. The bank closed before the stock payment was made.
 It is reported that counsel agree on most of the facts but that there will probably be a trial of the con- tested issues.
