The voting trustees under the voting trust agreement dated Aug. 1,
1936, on Sept. 22 announced that' the capital stock of this company
will be sold pursuant to an offer made by the owners of the ground
lease for the. sum of $12,900, unless on or before Nov, 2, 1944, dissentsto such sale are filed with the Title Insurance & Trust Co,, depositary
and agent, 433 South Spring St., Los Angeles, Calif., by the holders
of participating certificates
representing 50% or more in amount of
the issued capital stock of the company.
This sum, the .voting trus¬
tees stated, would permit a distribution to the holders of the partici¬
pating certificates equal to $2 per share unless unforeseen expenses
arise which would have to be deducted from the proceeds of the sale,
in which event the amount distributable to the holders of the partici¬
pating certificates would be reduced accordingly.
The reason given by
the ground owners for making this offer is quoted from their proposal,
as
follows:
"In order not to embarrass the lessee company with in¬

and in order to save themselves (ground owners)
of pursuing such proceedings, and quieting their title ^
termination of the lease." Should insufficient dissents be filed,
the voting trustees will accordingly consummate the sale of the stock.
The voting trustees state that they "believe resistance to any action
on
the part of the ground owners to terminate the ground lease and
repossess the property would serve rio useful purpose, and that if the
ground owners pursue their present course the property will ultimately
be lost, in1'.which evepl; ,(he holders of - participating,, pertificates- w'puld

At July 31, 1944, there were issued and outstanding 6,450 shares

under the company's ground lease covering the Quinby Building prop¬
erty, declaring a default in the payment of ground rent in the amount
of $23,500 and making a demand for payment of the same.
This no¬
tice was served on the company on Sept. 8, 1944, and unless the de¬
faults are cured within 50 days from and after the service of such no¬
tice the ground owners have evidenced their intention of taking legal
action to terminate the ground lease and repossess the property.
The company does not own the fee title to the Quinby Building, but

the understanding that the company would pay as additional rent, over •

1944, which reduced the rental
deficiency to $21,800 as at Aug. 31, 1944.
Recent improvement in the company's operation prompted the com¬
pany and the voting trustees to reopen negotiations again with theowners of the ground lease with the view to obtaining some concessions
following the plan of the agreement tentatively reached in August, 1942. ,
However, the ground owners have not only refused to allow a reduc- *■
tion in rent or to make any other concessions, but on the contrary
have! now served the company with a notice of default as a preliminary
step-to the termination-of-the ground lease and repossession of the property.
In our opinion a great injustice will be done to the holders
of participating certificates if the ground lease is thus terminated be¬
cause of the relatively small outstanding deficiency.
In fact; the rental
in arrears amounts to less than an average of $81 per month from the"'
beginning of the lease to date.
Also, in excess of $700,000 has been
paid to the ground owners as rental since the building was constructed.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that the ground owners are adamant

of the week in all cases has to be estimated.
In the elaborate detailed statement, however, which we present further below,
we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week
ended Sept. 30. For that week there was an increase of 5.0%, the aggregate of clear¬
ings for the whole country having amounted to $10,529,345,224, against $10,091,548,084
in the same week in 1943. Outside of this city there was a loss of 4.8%, the bank
clearings at this center having recorded an increase of 15.7%.
We group the cities
according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this
it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show a gain
of 13.0% but in the Boston Reserve District the totals show a loss of 15.0% and in
the Philadelphia Reserve District of 3.8%.
In the Cleveland Reserve District the
totals are smaller by 1.6%, in the Richmond Reserve District by - 7.6% and in the.
Atlanta Reserve District by 1.9%.
In the Chicagp Reserve District the totals record
a!decline of 0.2%, in the St. Louis Reserve District of 2.9% and in the Minneapolis
Reserve District of 13.5%.
In the Kansas City Reserve District the falling off is
2:1%, in the Dallas Reserve District 1.9% and in the San Francisco Reserve Dis¬

liquidation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Utah Light & Traction Co.
In exchange for the Traction company's properties and assets, Utah

system.
These were sold on July 13 to the Salt Lake City lines.
The proposed transaction is in compliance With an SEC order under
