COURT:
The undersigned,by order o~yo~r Honorable Court dated

Having received from the accountant true and correct
copies of add~tional accounts Nos.13-312 to and including Nos.
13-327 of 1954,O.C.,as we);l a:;copies of petitions sur audit
with respect to each of said accounts proposed to be filed in

sur audit in detail as to:(a)"its formal requirements;(b)the
correctness'of the balance shown;(c)the rate of income main-
tained;(d)the propriety of each individual credit taken;(e)'
the amount of commission charged;and (f)the character of the
investments.

.-
After such examination I conferred with the Trust Officer
of the accounting bank who courteously furnished any information
required to explain the background of arty particular estate not
appearing on the face ,of the account.
As a result of this examination,I am glad to report
that all of the estates whose accounts are being audited 'are in
good condition,and the accountant has been able to maintain an
excellent rate of income over a period when productive invest-
~e~ts were difficult to obtain.
Some capital is uninvested at the presen~time,but this-
is due to the policy arranged between the accountanmiand~its
successor fiduciary to make no new investments until the trans-
fer has been completed.This policy seems to be necessary and
in the long run should work to the advantage of the various minor!

At Nos.13-323 of 1954,O.C.,the Estate of William C.
Wise and Joseph A.Wise,sur t~ust for Ten Mile German Baptist
•."t .Church,known as Jesse A.(iallentine':Fund,.it is to be noted
that no distribution of income has been made since 1940.The
reason assigned by the .a~~o~ntan~is that it has been difficult.,.
•".,.I ,to ascertain a proper:re2ipient f~r said income:-
~...f'",...-~,.-
It transpires
that this Church has been serviced by itinerant ministers and
--
recent correspondence has been had with the Rev.Frank Rehm,of
Irwin,Pa.,with whom the accountant anticipates an adjustment of
this difficulty.
The ~c~ountant has charged the usual commission on
income"but has taken credit on corpus only as based on the
amounts actually expended,leaving further allowances to be ad-
justed at the audit.In all cases where a successor fiduciary
-2,..
,."::~.
is to be ~ppointed the filing"fee of account has been assumed by
accountant bank.
Credits taken on distribution are of the usual routine
character:trusts,under the t"erms of the will or other instrument
I'creating them;and guardianships,for maintenance,clo~hing,..,'"
medical and dental treatment,&c ,",of the minors or weak-minded
persons.
\.
,~.~'<I.
In my opinion,the accohntant is to be complimented
on the manner in which it has ~dministered these various e~tates
and counsel in ihe~character of accounts filed,which are clear,
..
concise ~nd info~mativ~~
This report conforms to the report made by the undersign-
ed at',the Special Audit Li'sf ~f the accounts of the Washington

.RETURN OF GUARDIAN AD LITEM AND TRUSTEE AD LrrEM.
TO THE HONORABLE DWIGHT M.ANDERSON,PRESIDENT JUDGE OF SAID
COURT:
The undersigned,by order of Your Honorable Court dated'.,
January.14,1954,having been appointed'Guardian ad Litem and
Trustee ad Litem "to examine in behalf of all minors and all
,
persons not sui juris and all persons unborn.or unascertained,
and all persons who may be in military service,who mayor
might have an interest in any of the accounts to be filed by
Washington Union Trust Company as fiduciary of its adminis-
tration of certain trust estates in this Court",does hereby
'report and return as follows:
'~.;\
Having received from the accountant true and correct
copies of said accounts as filed and copies of petitions -sur
audit with respect'thereto proposed to be filed in Court at
the audit thereof,I examined each account and petition sur
audit in detail as to:(a)its formal requirements;(b)the
correctness of the balance shown;(c)the rate of income
..
maintained;(d)the pr~pri~~y of each individual credit taken;.(
(e)the amount of commissions charged;and {f}the character
of.the investments.
After such examination I conferred with the Trust Officer
of the accounting bank who courteously furnished any inf9rmatio
required to explain the background of any particular estate
not appearing on the face of the account.
cases where this was necessary.
There were not many
There were several discrepancies,mostly clerical errors,
all of which have been explain~d and corrected,and,where
necessary,a rider or notation made in the audit petition.
As a result of this examinat ion,I am glad to report
that all of the estates whose accounts are being audited,
are in good condition,and the accountant has been able to
maintain an excellent rate of income over a period when
productive investments were difficult to obtain.
A considerable amount of capital is uninvested at the
present time,but this is due to the policy arranged between
the accountant and its successor fiduciary to make no new
investments until the transfer has been completed.This
policy seems to be necessary and,in the long run,should work
to the advantage of the various minors and cestuis que trustent
,-There is one exception,-the account at No.13-48 of 1954,
where a security to be awarded in kind differs from those list-
ed in the account,and this is shown in the audit petition.
The accountant has charged the usual commission on
income but has,taken credit on corpus only as based on the
amounts actually expended,'leaVing further allowances to be
adjusted at the audit.Again there are certain exceptions
to the effect that where the estate is small,the minor about
-to attain majority or the fund and income of a trust is so
small that it does not warrant the appointment of a successor-
fiduciary,the audit petition.contains a prayer for
('I.,'.
C"·.
i!
distribution and discharge 'of accoUntant bank.~In such cases.-
the filing fee of account and,commissions on corpus are re-. .
quested in the audit petition and are proper.In all cases
where a successor~fiduciary is to be appo~nted the filing fee
of account has been assumed by accountant bank.
Credits taken on distrmbution are of the usual routine
character;trusts,under the terms of the will or other
instrument creating them,and guardianships,tor maintenance,
clothing"medical and dental treatment,&c.,of the minors .
,111,
•;~i
or weak-minded persons.In a few cases of unusual expe~ditures
investigation shows that the accountant was justified in its
action.
At No.13-220 of 1954 o.e.,the estate of Sue A.Liggett,
sur trust for Maude A.,S1ms,it appears that Maude A.Sims
is now an 'inmate of Dixmont Hospital;that no guardian or
committee has been appointed 'for her estate a~d payments of
income are being withheld.It is recommended that,the
successor-fiduciary be authorized to expend the income for the
maintenance of said Maude A.Sims by payment to Dixmont Hospita
and that the receipt of said Dixmont Hospital for such payments
shall be a complete d1sc~ge of successor.~fiduciary for any
such payments made.
At No.13-228 of 1954 o.e.the trust directs the invest-.
ment of'funds in specific securities.However,the life
tenants and remaindermen have executed an authorization to the
accountant to retain securities other than such as specLfied.
In my opinion,the accountant is to be complimented on."
the manner in which'it,has administered these various estates
,and counsel in the c~aracter of the accounts filed,which are
~3-
clear,concise and informative.
....
All of·wn~ch is respectfully submitted•

Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce of Washington,

Trustee,in the request that the balance shown for distribution
be distributed to Washington Chamber of Commerce of Washington,

1.That change in ownership and management of the
George Washington,formerly the George Washington Hotel,has
resulted in said building becoming an apartment house instead
of a public hotel,and it no longer holds the same position as
a public gathering place as it did over the many years it was
a public hotel.
2.That Millcraft Center,to which the Chamber of
Commerce offices have been moved;is a new and attrcactive build-
ing with ample parking in which public meeting rooms and toilet
rooms are available,and the Chamber of Comme~ce is promoting,."'."',
in that location the same interest and public welfare as it
previously .promoted in-the quar,ters ·leased in the George
Washington Hotel.
3.That as indicated in the exhibit to the Petition,
the balance'·for distribution in said trust estate is needed to
equip and maintain the facilities of the Chamber of·Commerce in

BEFORE:
TIME:Monday.June 12,1961,at 10:00 a.m .•E.D.S.T.
THE COURT:Mr.Sweet.
MR.SWEET:Your Honor,I have here a petition of the
Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Washington.The Chambe
is the beneficiary and the Pittsburgh Nattonal Bank is the trustee of a fund of I
some $10,000.00 which was created a great many years ago.The history
of this is that there was land given to the Board of Trade.and this land was
impressed with a trust which is set verbatim on the first page of my petition.
The heart of the trust is this:That the land and henceforth,of course,the
money achieved in 1921 from the sale of the land shall be kept,maintained,
and used for community purposes,that is to say,for such public or semi-
public uses as said property is now used for,(among which are the use of
said building as headquarters of the Board of Trade,as a meeting place for
other civic organizations and committees thereof,and as a place for the
for any purpos·e looking to the promotion in

etcetera.and similar purposes including any use that will be in the line of
promoting the welfare of the town of Washington.The income is .paid annuall
and used routinely by the Chamber of Commerce,however,we now are
presented with the proposition of moving from our present quarters on the
second deck of the hotel building to new rooms on the first deck,immediately
adjacent to the lobby.They rename those rooms so often I don't know what

THE COURT:That wasn't transferred to this Court.
MR.SWEET:Yes,they got that in,and Mr.Enlow showed
me a'copy of the 1954 order that passed it upstairs.Judge Anderson signed
an order.
THE COURT:I was wondering what the statutory authority
for that was.I certainly feel there must have been but I thought perhaps you
can tell us at this juncture what it might ha ve been.
MR.SWEET:Well,before I learned that they had done tha ,
I had started out by preparing an order to offer on the second floor under the
general Orphans'Court Act asking to have it transferred up here since it is no
considered desirable for the Common Pleas to mastermind any of these.
THE COURT:Under what authority in the Act would that be
done?I know of no such authority.I know you can transfer incompetents'
estates because we have direct authority in the Act to do that.We can pass
that for the moment.There must have been some type of authority there,
but it would be interesting to know how they did it.
MR.SWEET:I can send you the number of the section I
was going to cite downstairs to tell them they had authority to send it up here.
I think that is the way it is phrased.

Let's assume this Court has proper

The problem is whether the use that they

want to put the money to comes under the terms of the deed.The Board of
Directors of the Chamber decided that it did,and on May .22 we passed a
resolution,a copy of which is made a pax:t hereof and is marked A.The
members of the ...I think there were 11 members of the Board there,and
they were of the opinion,first,that we could not pay for the changes incidental
to this move and the purchase of new equipment out of current funds of the
Chamber,and this fell rather nicely within the purposes of our trust.
THE COURT:I note the resolution states that you are
authorized as solicitor to prepare a petition to free from the trust the amount
of money needed for furniture and so forth but it doesn't give any particular
figure in that resolution.
MR.SWEET:That is correct because the committ.ee had
to go out and :price things,and you will see as Exhibit C,Your Honor;the wor
of the committee in ascertaining the amount that it was going to cost.I think
what was done,actually,is Mr.Sharp and his committee contacted those
members of the Chamber of Commerce who sell such things and got a composi e
price from them.I suppose they would divide the business in whatever way
people who do office equipment work divide the business.
THE COURT:
MR.SWEET:
All right.You may continue.
The purpose of the rooms I think come s
rather squarely within the terms of the trust because this office will be the
headquarters not only for the Chamber itself but also for the Merchants l Bureal,
the Washington Industrial Development Corporation--that's the group that
brought Federal Paper Board and R.C.A here--the Greater Washington Ice
..'",
5.
Skating Association--which you perhaps have been asked to contribute to--and
the United Community Chest.One of the rooms,in the way we're fitting this
up,will be available for the holding Of all these public meetings for various
beneficial causes.That's a genuine problem in Washington to have a place
in Washington in which meetings of an abstract public nature not connected wit!
any existing group can be held,and the Chamber has used its room on the
second floor of the hotel for that purpose and now is fitting this one up.
The only place I am close to the edge of the
is
lin~/on this toilet business.Apparently,the fellow who gave the property
back a long time ago felt the maintenance of toilet rooms for visitors to
Washington was of some concern because,you see,that is spelled out in the
deed in some length.Now we do not have specific toilets furnished in the
rooms that we are leasing from the hotel,however,the lease that we have wit!
the hotel provides for access to the general toilets on the ground floor and on
mezzanine floor of the hotel,and I feel confident any person having business
with any of the organizations headquartered there or attending any of the meeti 19S
to be held in these rooms would routinely have access to places of public
cleanliness and decency.
THE COURT:At any rate,that's not made an indispensable
requirement of the trust;it's just suggested that be one of the purposes.
MR.SWEET:Other than that,I think we're squarely in
it because we're carrying on the promotion of the welfare of the town of
Washington;we're squarely carrying on industrial promotion and programs
for the social and moral welfare of the community.
