MER -BOSTOCK’S ASSIUNMENT. ‘The Assets will Pay 100 Cents on the . Dollar. Concerning Mr. Bostock’s as- signment, a coast paper says the Provii cz Publishing company is nct included in the Bostock estate, but the B. C, Printing & Lithographing Co. is included in the assets, The assignment caused much sur- prise among those who heard the news. It was due to numerous large unprofitable investments in the province, although the estate comprises among its assets many valuable investments and would pay over too cents on the dollar. Mr. B k, hi lizi that necessary large sums were not available readily to satisfy imme- diate demands, thought the safest and best way to satisfy creditors was to assign and thus insure full returns for those who had claims against him.
