AMENDMENTS TO
LAW GOVERNING.
BANKRUPTCIES
Recent Legislation Believed
To Correct Many De-
fects By Accountants—
Creditors Protected.
Defects in the old bankruptcy
amendments adopted by the last
Congress are being carefully studied
by lawyers and accountants.
Will Correct Defects
It is believed. according to the ac-
countants. that nearly all of these
defects will be corrected by the
amendments. and by the new general
orders in bankruptcy promulgated
by the United States Supreme Court.
In a statement reviewing the amend-
ments to the law and their probable
effect. as discussed in its letter-buil-
etin. the Bureau of Public Affairsof
the Institute says:
Conceive Petitions
- "Almanac"! Order of the flu-
preme Court-requires that petition-
ers in involuntary cases. whose
claims. Ascollusive. petitions usual-
ment. make affidavit as to the con-
sideration paid for the assigned
ciairns.‘ Asfollusive petitions usaul-
ly rest on assigned claims. it is hop-
ed this now order will eliminate this
evil. Solicitations of claims by re-
ceivers or their attorneys is prohi-
bited by another new General Order
of the Supreme Court. and still an-
other General Order prohibits the
employment by receivers and trust-
ees of attorneys who are in any way
connected with the bankrupt. De-
nial of allowances to attorneys for
petitioning creditors is provided for
in another General Order "if it shall
appear that the proceedings were
instituted in collusion with the bank~
rupt or were not instituted in good
faith." .
Fraudulent Compositions
"A section in the amended law
provides for the payment. from the
estate. of the expenses of creditors
who investigate and successfully op-
pose confirmation of a composition.
This new section is intended to aid
creditors who have reason to believe
that compositions offered are not

dynamite blasts and steam shovel
excavations.
The “S" curve near the Kent

done away with. This curve was

pany said yesterday that if weather
conditions are satisfactory they will
be able to attain an average of more
