biennial nial election of the officers of the deseret telegraph company in february last receiver V F EL dyer addressed the following communication muni cation to the territorial supreme court to the Kono honorable rable supreme court tn in addition to my regular monthly report I 1 desire to direct the especial attention of the court to the fact that I 1 hold as receiver of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints sainte shares of the capital stock of the deseret telegraph company and that there are about sixty eight shares held by individuals the election of officers occurred some sometime time previous to the turning over of this stock to me and I 1 am informed that the annual election of officers will take place on the of next june I 1 desire to state to the court that in view of the fact I 1 hold this stock as receiver and am not authorized to transfer any part of it for the purpose of electing i such directors as I 1 may see fit fitl am placed in an awkward position as I 1 cannot transfer any of the stock to the persons person 8 whom I 1 might see fit to elect as directors while I 1 hold 1 nearly all the stock and can vote it and of bourse could elect whomsoever I 1 pleased it would however be impossible for the parties elected to qualify I 1 would therefore respectfully ask the court for some special order or direction in this matter respectfully submitted FRANK H DYER receiver salt lake city february 1889 under date of june 11 the receiver sent the following I 1 respectfully hand you herewith copies copcea of the annual statements of business transacted by the deseret Desere fc telegraph company for the years ending december 31 1885 86 8 88 78 which I 1 have just obtained from mr W B dougall the manager of said company all of which is respectfully submitted for your consideration FRANK H receiver C J C L D S deveret year receipts loss paiit n 1885 1886 14 1666 24 1887 1888 16 it was expected that the court would have taken some action that morning but it did not the stockholders ti meeting was held but no election took place the receiver holds the majority of the stock which was seized with other church property and if he had voted it could have elected a board of officers from among the stockholders but this would have left the control of the company in the hands of the actual owners of the property but the receiver as aa shown by his communication to the court wants a board aboard of his on o n making thesis this is not possible unless the court orders the stock transferred to those who have no title to it whatever the stockholders object to this proceeding as in the event of the stock being returned to its proper owners by the supreme court of the united states there would be elected for two years a set of officers who were not stockholders thus working a grave injustice A proposition was submitted to the receiver to let the matter go till next december by which time the supreme court will probably give its decision and then a special election can be held without causing the th a injury that would be brought about by the placing in office of men who were not sesma fide owners of stock thi meeting then adjourned for ten days till june 25 that the receiver might consider what course he be will pursue latter day saints college the circular of the latter day saints college for merly
