its amount is apparently determined

ORDER OF NOTICE
No. 609.
Whereas, E. A. Cook, Receiver un
der appointment by the Court of
Chancery of the Independent Tele
phone Exchange, has filed with the
Public Service Commission of Ver
mont a petition which is in words and
figures as follows :
"STATE OF VERMONT.
To the Public Service Commission of
the state of Vermont.
Petition for Approval of Sale of the
Independent Telephone Exchange.
Comes, E. A Cook, Receiver under
appointment by the Court of Chan
cery of the Independent Telephone Ex
change, and requests Your Honorable
Body to confirm the sale hereinafter
described of the entire assets of said
Independent Telephone Exchange, a
corporation organized and existing
under and by virtue of the laws of the
state of Vermont, and operating a
telephone business in the counties of
Orleans and Caledonia,
In Orleans County Court of Chan
cery a petition was brought by myself
as trustee of certain interests and
certain individuals who were as trus
tee of certain interests and certain in
dividuals who were compelled to pay
a mortgage given by said Indepen
dent Telephone Exchange to foreclose
said mortgage, and a decree therein
was rendered by said Court ot
Chancery in favor of myself as such
trustee against said Independent Tele
phone Exhange, - and all persons
claiming thereunder, which becomes
absolute on or about the 15th day of
March, 1919.
In the proceedings in said cause I
was appointed receiver of said Inde
pendent Telephone Exchange, accept
ed the office, qualified and began oper
ating the same on April 1, 1918, and
have since continued in operation
thereof as such receiver.
In the decree in the above named
cause, I was given authority to sell
the property of said telephone com
pany, subject to the approval of the
Chancellor.
The following facts should appear
before Your Honorable Body:
a. The amount of stock held by
the stockholders and paid for by them
in the company is in the vicinity of
Twelve Thousand ($12,000) Dollars,
probably more, but I have been un
able to find the Stock Book.
b. The indebtedness of said com
pany, aside from the stock, is be-1
tween $l,U0!J and $20,000.
c. This indebtedness includes the
amount of the decree in this cause,
which was about $11,000.
d. I took charge of the property
as receiver April 1, 1918, and have
continued the operation of the same
and on the first day of January, 1919,
the income of the company had failed
to pay the expenses to an amount of
more than $1,000.
e. While operating the plant, I
have persistently tried to obtain a
purchaser for the same, and in Octo
ber, 1918, the engineer of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
Company, located at Boston, in the
state of Massachusetts, examined the
physical property and placed an ap-
praisal on the same, and nn tha oia

of the telephone, and all creditors of
which I had any knowledge, to be he'rf
at Barton in the county of Orlear',
on the 26th day of December, U$'
g. At that meeting I placed be
fore a large number of the above de"
scribed people the situation with i
lation to the Independent Telephone
Exchange, and tried to enlist 8ome
parties interested in an independent
telephone line to take some action
and at that time a committee was ap.
pointed to consider the situation and
report at a meeting to be held on the
6th day of January, 1919.
h. On the 6th day of Januarr
1919, I was compelled to be at Mont
pelier, and the meeting was not held
for the reason that the committee
who were to investigate the matter
reported to me that they were unable
to find any personal funds to take
hold of the venture.
i. In the meanwhile I had procured
the consent of the New England Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company to
MM the;r offer onen until the 10th
day of January, 1919.
j. On the 6th day of January,
1919, one John Buckley, who is one
of the guarantors and parties inter
ested in said decree, notified me that
he desired to purchase the lines and
run them as an independent line, and
I notified him that 1 should be glad
to turn the plant over to independent
individuals, but I must have a guar
anty that I would be paid the f 13,000
when approved by Your Honorable
Body and the Chancellor.
k. On January 10, 1919, after hav
ing seen John Buckley and learning
from him that he was unable to ob
tain the guaranty at that time, I ac
cepted the offer of the New Enpland
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
I am fully satisfied that, although
the property of the Independent Tele
phone Exchange has cost to date in
the vicinity of $30,000, it is
not now worth any more than,
if as much as, $13,000, as it
is not paying concern, and althouph
it might be, possible, if the lines ex
tending too far back were cut off and
it was placed in a small compass to
pay expenses, I am satisfied that un
der no conditions would it pay any
fair interest rate on $12,000, leavin?
alone the question of depreciation and
repayment of principal.
This sale has been reported to the
Court of Chancery for approval, a
copy of which report is hereto attach
ed and made a part hereof.
Therefore, your petitioner respect
fully requests Your Honorable Body
to" take such action as may be proper
in the premises and confirm the sale
above described.
