M. Cronin, as receiver, and the ciaim was made that it is losing money. The case of Bgielow et al. against the Thames River Specialties Co. was down on the ghort calendar for a hearing on the account of D. M. Cro- nin, temporary receiver, and accept- ance of account of Maunsell Van Rensselaer, temporary receiver. Claims $5,000 to $6,000 Loss. When the matter was rcached, At- torney Hull stated that the plant should be shut down. Receiver Cro- nin has been in charge of the concern without any authorily from the court &ince” Sept. 7, and the report shows that the company, has lost very nearly $1,000 ‘since that time.

Ho said that the busincss ought to be shut down and discontinued, there- by saving the creditors their money. He saw no other alternative under the The plant has been failure. He stated that one- of the largest stockholders of the - company had promised to produce. sufficient money’ to pay up all the debts and that while he has put in considerable money he has not entirely kept his promise, with the result that it is costing the creditors thousands of dol- lars.

Geary, counsel for the majority stockholders, stated to the court that he was not competent to go into the.matter thoroughly to- day but that in a week he could tell more abut it. He said that the loss ‘was sustained under the old manage- ment and that if the old management had been discharged before it was, the company would have been able to show a gain instead of a loss. Since Superintendent Van Rensselaer and other members of the old manage- ment had been discharged, the ex- pense accounts of the company had been shortened about $30,000.
