COLLECTION OF CARSON CITY, April 1--(UP) -Compared with the first quarter of 1931, the receipts of the corporation department of the secretary of state's office for the first quarter of 1932 show a decided decline. The receipts of the department so far for the new year total for the corresponding months of 1931 the receipts were $21,685.85, a off of $7,933.25.

State Controller Peterson reports that receipts from the gasoline tax for the first quarter of 1832 total $159,365.09, as against $135,282 74 for 1931, a gain of $24,082.35.

Matter CARSON CITY, April that the Wasihoe county court should have granted him a new trial and that it was in error in refusing to allow him an adequate fee as receiver or an adequate fee for his attorneys, Gurney Gordon has taken an appeal to the supreme court of Nevada in the action instituted by him against the Como Consolidated Mines company.

The suit was filed in the district court of Washoe county on February 21, 1923, on the grounds that the company was insolvent and that a receiver should be appointed so that its property consisting of mining claims in the Palmyra and Indian Springs mining districts in Lyon county and mill machinery and equipment should not be dissipated. The court appointed Gordon as receiver on February 21, 1923, and on September 11, 1929, he filed his final report and petitioned for his discharge as receiver. At the time the suit was filed, debts against the company amounted to over $292,842 and in December, 1929, Gordon reported to the court that the total cash on hand was $12,987.26 with outstanding claims amounting to only $20,127.55, so that the receivership could be closed by paying clairiants 64 cents on the dollar in satisfaction of then- claims. In January, 1930, the couit ordered a distribution amount to 50 per cenl of all claims approved; Gordon was al.owed $2,500 as his fee as receiver and Cooke. French and Stoddard were awarded $3,000 for their services as attorneys for the receiver during the seven years The court, provided that these two fees should be pro rated on the 64 per cent basis, so that Gordon would really receive but a little more than $1,500 and the at- by Tom Lot? did a'business torneys approximately $1,800 for $4,50339 for the first quarter of! tneir wor 1932.
