(No. 167.) STATEN ISLAND. JOHN A. COOPER, Esq., NEW YORK, January 22, 1873. Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor, Albany: DEAR SIR-In reply to your favor of yesterday, I beg leave to report that, on or about the 28th or 29th of March, 1872, I was, at the suit of the first mortgage bondholders, appointed receiver of the Staten Island Railroad. I filed my bond, took possession—if I remember right on the 29th of March, and held possession until 17th September, 1872. The property was sold 27th August, deed delivered on payment made 17th September. I, as receiver, remained in possession until 17th September, when, on proof required, I surrendered the property. My accounts were, as required by court decree, duly filed every month, approved and passed. The court record shows them, but if your department require or desire any information, I will most cheerfully give it, so far as my control is concerned, viz.: for any sale, receipts, expenditures and doings from 29th March to 17th September, 1872, but I am not in a position to render any further account. I delivered the property in my hands to the purchasers, Mr. Theal and Mr. George Law, under court order and proof submitted to my counsel, that the terms of sale and purchase had been complied with in due accordance with the court order. All of which is respectfully submitted to your department. Yours, respectfully, L. H. MYER, Late Receiver of the Staten Island Railroad Property. |
