Wolvin s statement reads in i the National Trust company states j that a fair Sot Mcl and comprehensive i plan will require close and intensive study and reasonable examinations and investigations which should be car ried out in a Frank and open negotiation. I entirely agree find investigations have been made reports Are available the corporation s accounts j Are in perfect order showing results i of past operations and Frank Uncle open j negotiations and co Perallon have repeatedly been solicited. The attitude j of tiie National Trust company in this matter is illustrated by the finality of 1 the following letter them March shh 1027. J Roy m. Wolvin Esq.
