A phase of the administering of thedefunct bank's affairs b\ the receivers,
I which lias been commented upon as un¬usual. is the fact that the receiversdid not follow the usual custom ofhaving legal counsel to advise and di¬rect them. This was done In the In¬terest of economy.i'A\ mi-:vr.s to iti-:n:i\ Kits
\<;<;itr.<; \tk suo.nnnThe receivers. James \V. Cordon and
John It. Light foot. Jr.. are both prac¬ticing attorneys, hence they were ableto proceed with their work without tlioassistance of paid lawyers. *1 hey re¬ceive no fee whatever as lawyers inconnection with the receivership, butare paid only for discharging the dutiesof receivers.The total amount paid to the re-
receivers in 1913 was $4,000. Kortheir services this year they have re¬ceived $r,.ooo.
\nother feature of the receivershipof the Commonwealth Bank out of theordinary Is noted in the manner inwhich certain assets were protected.To safeguard certain second mort¬gages on properties on which the bankhad loaned money, authority was givenIn the court to purchase the first mort¬gages on these same properties, therisk of loss on th^se second mort¬gages thus being eliminated.
