ORPHANS'COURT DIVISION IN RE:ESTATE OF CHRISTINE E.McDOWELL~AN ALLEGED INCOMPETENT ) (No.432 of 1970 ) PETITION FOR COMPENSATION AND NOW"this ol.f day of March.,1971.,Anna Rose Richards and Moyer C.Richards.,Co-Guardians of Christine E.McDowell.,do hereby petition this Court for compensation for their efforts and for their attorney. 1.On June 5"1970.,this Court appointed the petitioners as Co-Guardi ns of the Estate of Christine E.McDowell"an incompetent. 2.The incompetent"Christine E..McDowell.,is the owner of an estate consisting of two tracts of ground situate in Peters and North Strabane Townships which have been leased to thirty-two separate tenants including two drive-in theaters.,a two-story frame dwelling house used for dispensing refreshments and fishing supplies and a tract of ground on which is erected the Little Lake Theatre. 3.Prior to the Petition for Guardianship.,the incompetent had lived as a recluse in her home for a period of eighteen months and her home had become filled with rubbish and the accumulated rental records of tenants through 1968. 4.The only method which the Guardians could re-construct the rental records of the tenants was by personal visits requesting the exhibition of cancelled checks and receipts to evidence the payment of rentals.. 5.Included among the'records of the incompetent $1"900.00 of checks were found more than six months old and $2"600..00 of checks from•;.r. six to.eighteen months old.It was necessa'ry for all of the latter category to be replaced by the makers and deposite.d. 6..As a result of the survey of the tenants records"$1.,000..00 in past due rentals and $1~300.00 in past due tax reimbursements were recovered. ~I I ~ -" .. These efforts together with the recovery of the ch~of various ages re- sulted in the recovery of approximately $7"000.00 to the estate. 7.Many of the tenants'leases had lapsed and after petition to this Court"the Guardians succeeded in renewing many of the old leases and leased new properties resulting in additional income to the estate. 8..The dwelling house in which the incompetent lived was filled with litter and rubbish and forty years of accumulated business records and per'" sonal correspondence.~, 9.Such records.were stored in boxes"bags and in every closet and", cabinet from loft to cellar•. 10.The incompetent had stored four years of household rubbish in the coal and fruit cellars of the dwelling house and it was necessary for all such containers to be searched for business records"checks"deposit slips" leases and the incompetent's will. 11..The residence of the incompetent was in such deplorable condi- tion that it was necessary for the Guardians to petition this Court to abandon the household furnishings and to repair and clean the premises. 12..In order to prepare the dwelling for rental"the Guardians employed the services of a registered architect and a real estate broker and following their recommendations the Guardians arranged for the contracting of the repair work. 13..As recited in the Inventory",the incompetent had on deposit·the sum of $3"275.86 in Canadian funds in the Canadian Bank of Commerce" Barrie"Ontari0.l and as a consequence of a trip made by the Guardians"this sum was brought back to the jurisdiction of this Court and the sum of $3"251.73 in U.S..dollars was deposited to the estate. 14..That as'a consequence of the labor and effort involved in the administration of this estate from the time that the incompetent was found in \ y I , a disoriented state in the home~the Guardians have been able to perform only a limited amount of other work for remuneration.The Guardian~Moyer C. Richards.;J has been compelled to substantially limit his occupation as a con- sultant in the sales and servicing of electric measuring instruments and has thus lost the income which this work would have provided. 15.During the period from March of 1970 when the incompetent was found in her home through December 31"1970",the Co-Guardians have expended 2"779 hours in labor and have driven 6",200 miles in the_performance of work f.or the estate. 16.That as a consequence of their efforts during this period"they have collected in addition to the past due rentals recited in paragraph 6 herein $20~433.54 in current rentals"payments on cottages in the sum of $1155.00", and receipts.in interest and dividends in the sum of $4"333.08"a portion of. which was obtained as a consequence of prudent investment of estate funds. 17.That although the principal of the estate has not been appraised but only inventoried"the jointly-held property at face although not appraised amounts to a total of One Hundred Ten Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-tw.o and no/100 ($1l0~932.00)Dollars and the real estate was conservatively valued for the purpose of the Petition for the Appointment of Guardians at One Hundred Thousand and no/100 ($100~000.00)Dollars. 18.The efforts of the Co-Guardians in administering the affairs of this estate and restoring them to a proper condition and continuing to operate the estate constitute unusual circumstances. 19.The petitioners have been advised by their counsel~Peacock" Keller~Yohe &Day"in the administration of this estate as follows:By their assistance in obtaining the appointment of Guardians~the hearings on the guardianship"the preparation of leases"the preparation and presentation to this Court of petitions relative to the execution of leases by the Guardians" -3- ,, .. the preparation of a petition relative to the abandonment of the property and the remodeling of the home,)the preparation of the Inventory of the estate,) the filing of the petition relative to the sealing of the incompetent's will)and numerous office calls and correspondence. WHEREFORE,)the Guardians request permission of this Court to pay unto themselves compensation for the period of June 5,)1970 through December 31.1 1970 in the sum of Fourteen Thousand and no/lOa ($14,)000.00) Dollars and Two Thousand Five Hundred.arid noll 00 ($2,)500..00)Dollars for counsel fees. ...4- •I I 110.

It is my understanding that you were not aware of this joint tenancy until you observed correspondence from the compa.ny while visiting in the McDowell homo since 1\11's.McDowell became 111.These shares have been maintained in 0.sate deposit box in Mrs.McDowell's name alone.Prior to the declaration of incompetency she alone was the only person who had access to the box. In order tor you to establish that she had made an inter vivos gift to you.it would be necessary for you to show that you had r~ce1ved a delivery of the certificates which was either actual or const1'uct1ve~~ly intormation ..discloses that there has been no delivery and this is an essential in Pennsyl- vania law to establish a valid gUt. Although it is not likely,it is possible that Mrs.McDowell may regain her health and be restored to normalcy.In such event;she could.during her lifetime,destroy the joint tenancy since it constitutes nn incomplete gift..

ORPHANS'COURT DIVISION IN RE: ESTATE OF CHRISTINE E. McDOWELL,an alleged incompetent ) ( ) ( No.432 of 1970 PETITION AND NOW,come the Co-guardians of the incompetent and petition this Court as follows: 1.The Estate is the owner of a piece of ground at the intersection of McDowell Lane and Route #19 in Peters Township,Washington County. 2.This tract of land is subject to an easement in favor of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for the drainage of surface waters from U.S.Route #19. 3."The tract of land is frequently flooded following heavy rains from the flow of water from adjacent land. 4.The Department of Transportation issued a highway occupancy permit to Z.&L.Lumber Company in October of 1970 for the purpose of draining surface water from land belonging to Z.&L.into the Common- wealth's drainage system. 5.The Co-guardians became aware of the issuance of this permit following the commencement of construction. 6.The Co-guardians sought an injunction to restrain such action in a proceeding at No.6688 In Equity and received a temporary restraining order from Judge Gladden of this Court. 7.However,on June 28,1971 after a hearing,Judge Gladden made a determination"...that there is not sufficient evidence to sustain the granting of a permanent injunction." 8.In order to receive the temporary restraining order,it was necessary for the Co-guardians to post an injunction bond. '\I .'I 11J 9.That following the lifting of the temporary restraining order, the Z.&L.Lumber Company completed the installation of this sewer system and it is now installed. 10.To continue such litigation will involve protracted and expensive legal proceedings,and it is the opinion of the Co-guardians that since the injunction was not made permanent that the matter should be settled and discontinued. 11.The owners of Z.&L.Lumber Company have indicated their willingness to release the Co-guardians and their bonding company from liability on the injunction bond in exchange for a release of liability from further damage. 12.It is the opinion of the Co-guardians that such controver$y should be compromised. WHEREFORE,the Co-guardians request this Court,in accordance with Section 416 of the Incompetents'Estate Act,50 p.S.§3416,request permission to execute the attac,hed Release in order to compromise and settle this claim.

The new lease as prepared on the property (Restaurant and Snack Bar)is beneficial to the Lessor for the following reasons: 1.The monthly (fixed)rental has been doubled to $100.00 per month. 2.The new lease is a seven year lease with a seven year option,however a "Cost of Living Clause"must be adhered to in establishing the Fixed Rental on the option,whereas the old lease provided for no adjustment on the two five year options. 3.The insurance coverage that protects the Lessor is increased to $300,000 and $500,000 which is more in line with present day coverage. EXHIBIT "e -1" ,- '.~\r:..•I 4.The "Additional Rent"calls for an additional five per-cent (5%)of gross receipts over $1000.00 under the new lease which is less than the old lease (ten per-cent (10%)of receipts over $500) however,the receipts are generally so low that there is little or no rental income anyhow.Since the "Fixed Rent"has been raised to $100.00 this stable rental is more desirable. 5.The new lease calls for Lessee to pay ALL taxes assessed during the term of the lease,while the old lease only called for the lease to pay for any increases in Taxes and Improvements. 6.Penalty clause is:much better and more forceful in the new lease. 7.All other terms of the new lease are equal or more beneficial to the Lessor.

At the request of Reed B.Day,Esq.,I have reviewed the Lease Agreement between Anna Rose Richards and Moyer C.Richards, co-guardians of the Estate of Christine E.McDowell,an incompetent, and George Basle,to be effective April ·1,1975,and have compared the provisions thereof to the previous lease between the same parties dated June 1,1958.I have also discussed some of the pertinent provisions of the new lease verbally with Mr.Day. Based on my review,I believe the revised lease (effective April 1,1975)would substantially improve the fihancial position of the Estate and increase the return from the leased property.I see no reason why the Estate should not enter into the revised lease.

The undersigned Loren W.Carl,being first duly sworn on his oath,certifies that the following is his personal opinion arrived at after reviewing all documents and facts. The ne~lease as prepared on the property XLittle Lake Threatre,Inc.,N.Strabane Twp.)is beneficial to the Lessor for the following reasons: 1.The monthly fixed rental has been increased from $35.00 per month to $200.00 per month. The additional rent clause has been changed from ten (10%)per-cent of the gross admission fees over $350.00 per month to five (5%)per cent of the gross admission fees over ~2000.00 per month.Even though this additional rental percentage has been decreased it is my opinion that the increase in the fixed rental fee is much more beneficial to the lessor than the additional rent clause. EXHIBIT "D-l ....... :t;"-.-, 2.The new lease carries the advantage of a cost of living clause which must be adhered to in establishing the fixed rental.Said clause to be exercised annually,the old lease carried no protection along these lines for the lessor. 3.Insurance coverage protecting the lessor carries specific limits of coverage,whereas the old lease did not. 4.The term of the new lease is the same as the term in the old lease. 5.The new lease calls for the lessee to pay all taxes and assessments of the property during the term of the lease,whereas the old lease only carried provisions for paying the taxes. 6.The new lease carries a liquidation penalty if the property is not operated a minimum of 180 days,whereas the old lease carried no such pgnalty. 7.The penalty clause is much more comprehensive and forceful in the new lease than existed in the old lease. The undersigned Loren W.Carl,a licensed Pennsylvania Real Estate Broker certifies that he has knowledge of the leased property,but has absolutely no monetary interest in this negotiation what-so-ever.

At the request of Reed B.Day,Esq.,I have reviewed a draft of the proposed lease agreement between Anna Rose Richards and Moyer C.Richards,Co-Guardians of the Estate of Christine E.McDowell,an incompetent,and Little Lake Theatre,Inc. This proposed lease would succeed a lease originally dated June 3,'1949,which original lease and the extensions and modifications thereof I have also reviewed.In making such review I have compared the pertinent financial aspects of both leases. Based on my review,it appears that the financial position of the estate would be substantially improved by entry into the proposed new lease.As a result of my work I become aware of no reason why the Estate should not become a party to the revised lease.I therefore recommend its acceptance.

L~.Following the conclusion of the hearings on October 25, 1973,'May 7,1974,and May 7,1975,this Court authorized the pa)mlent of compensation of Ten Thousand and no/100 ($10,000.00) Dollars per annum to the Co-Guardians for the preceding year and on conclusion of the hearing on June 15,1976 authorized the pay- ment of Twelve Thousand and no/100 ($12,000.00)Dollars per annum to the Co-Guardians for the year of 1975.Following the con- clusion of the hearing on March 23,1977,this Court authorized 1 -:".,~j :.1 . " the payment of compensation of Thirteen Thousand and no/IOO ($13,000.00)Dollars per annum to the Co-Guardians for the year of 1976. 5.During 1977,the Co-Guardians expended over Two Thousand (2,000)hours of recorded activ.e time in the estate's duties, slightly more than last year and more than the average of previous years. 6.The Co-Guardians were required to work almost daily in- cluding many evenings,Saturdays and Su?days in the performance of labor's for the administration of the Estate during the year 1977.Some of these duties include regular bookkeeping that re- quires posting of all income in a "Day Bookll a.nd rentals in a "Tenants Ledger";payment of all expenses such as taxes,insur- ance,and Christine E.McDowell's maintenance;making up all tax returns and other financial reports;and regular banking and rein- vestment of c~pit:al assets because of maturities or when better in ", terest rates become available . .' ',7.Additional ta'sks p~rf.ormed'in 1977 included planning for •~,'"•t .,-t " .t '.. expansion of the leaseholds,conferences with public utility repre sentatives:anl the negotiation o:f-a sublease for a llflea market." ••Jli ., 8.A major problem developed with our principal tenant, who became delinquent in the payment of rent,which required a great amount of effort on the part of the Co-Guardians to recti.fy. 9.The Co~Guardians succeeded in collecting delinquent rents from several other tenants in full payment through December 31,19 7. 10.The Co-Guardians renegotiated fifteen (15)leases with tenants to include reasonable increases in rents in accordance wit inflation rates.This was the largest number of leases renegotiat d in any year and the increases were reflected in the improved earn- ings for 1977. 11.Considerable time was spent on the assignment of a commercial lease held by George Basle which has not been completed The Co-Guardians requested and received assurance that all expense ., •I .,.~.... J ~•.•.'j ; l ", " ,,' in connection :-v~th this {lssignmer:t would be paid by the parties involved,when the'issignment is c~~pleted. 12,Attached hereto as an exhibit is a "Summary and Balance Sheet"for the period of January 1,1977 to December 31, 1977,which is not filed for the purpose of an accounting but to explain to the Court the extent of fiscal activity which the Co-Guardians have been required to administer and as a complete financial report to December 31,1977.This report indicates an apparent cash gain of over $10,000.00 from 1977 over 1976. 13.Counsel for the Estate expended approximately eleven hours in working on Estate business which does not include tele- phone calls and other miscellaneous services. WHEREFORE,the ~etitioners request this Court to award them the sum of.Fourteen Thousand and no/IOO ($14,000.00)Dollars and Five Hundred Fifty and no/IOO ($550.00)Dollars for counsel.

This "Apparent Gain"of $10,181.17,although very good and about double the present inflation rate,is actually only the inc~ease in operating cash asset"s generated for the Estate in year 1977.It must be remembered that the personal medica~and maintenance expenses for Christine E.11cDowell in the amount of approximately $14,000.00 have been paid from operational income before thisappare~t gain amount is obtained. A review of the fiscal activity of this Estate since its inceotion will show a continuing increase in.,-operation...cash assets and that no capital assets have been used for personal e}Eprn"se's".ope~a:tion 'expenses or capital improvements. \.".>"'\I -:'~~~.," .'..~•" ,.. ,>(:i:' IN THE COURT OF COl1MON PLEAS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY,PENNSYLVANIA ORPHANS COURT DIVISION IU RE:ESTATE OF CHRISTINE E.McDOvJELL, An Alleged Incompetent ) ) )NO.432 of 1970 ) AND Nmv, consideration o R D E R this ;z /P(;ay :f-~,1978,upon of the annexed Petition for Compensation in the above-captioned estate,a heari~~cer:in~the issues r;~ed in saa~~ti=?l1be held on _~,-4Cday of-~,1978 at 11_0-0 0 'clock,''1!L}L ,at which time the Court will consider said Petition. notice shall be given to all interested parties irmnediately s that they will have at least ten (10)days to prepare for said hea - ing if the same is necessary.

Prior to Mrs.McDowell's admission to the St.Clair Hospital,wha was the general condition of her health? A Her general health was good.She required very little medical ca:trl.e. While she was in the has pital it was discovered that she had a hypothyroid state,which we have cOrrected by the use of thyroid Extract. During her hospital stay she was extremely difficult to handle;on many occasions she was combative and aggressive.She hallucinate while she was in the hos pital and compla:L:neclJ that they were robbin her at night~and that they were running over her fe~t.She was unsure of her location.She had no idea why she was in the hos pital. 4 ~z~.I>-UI Z Z'IIIII.- iel!lziIIIoct:= ~ii:I-!!!c .IoctoQ ;:).., ~til" aiffiQ l-ll:O' ~All: l-ll:8Qo .I~Aii:...o She had no idea of time Or place and would,on occasion,start a conversation and follow the line of thought,but only fOr a very shor ,, time,then it w,Quld drift off into othe'r WfuVe}yvarying ideas.And on oner occasion during her ,hospital stay I had her examined by Dr. Chavern,·the psychiatrist,to get his opinion about Mrs.McDowell. And he felt that she suffered from arteriosclerosis of the cerebral vessels and agreed that at that ~ime,which was the 30th of March, I believe,she was incompetent.And as of my examination of her last night,I would feel that there has been no change in that situati n. When did 'this condition commence,approximately? . She was bro,ugh!into the hospital,I believe in about the mid-March Did you examine her in the hospital at the time of her admission? Yes. Q What hos pital was that ? A That was at St..Clair on Bower Hill Road,Mt.Lebanon. Q Has th~re been any marked improvement in her mental condition since this admission and the examination by the psychiatrist? A I would say there has been essentially .nochange.. Q Doctor,is it safe to say that Mrs.McDowell is suffering from a 5 mental infirmity? A Y~s,I think so. Q In your opinion,what has caused this condition? A I think this is a prOcess due to arteriosclerosis Or hardemgg of the arterieso6f the brain. Q In your opinion.DoCtor.is she capable of handtfug her property? A No.she is no,t. _.to••Q Is it possible,that if a'guardian was not appointed that her estate copld.... become dissipated? A Yes. Q Is it possible,Doctor.that if a guardian is not appointed that Mrs. McDowell could become the victim of designing persons? A Yes. Q Are you acquainted with her sister.aAnna Rose Richards;-the petit'oner?.,'.'.A Yes.I am. Q FOr how long haveyou known Mrs.Richards? A I've only recently met Mrs.Richards.We I ve had several conver- sations on,the telephone..she and I and Mr.Richards and myself. but we only actually met this morning. Q Would it be,therefore.your recommendation.Doctor•.that a guar<ian be appointed to care for Mrs.McDowe.tar~sbusinessaffairs? A Yes.it would. Q Does the Court have any questions of the witness? EXAMINATION BY THE COURT: Q Doctor Donaldson,you s tate,I believe,thatyou have been treating Mrs.McDowell for about 15 years.What were you treating her for t> Her illnesses were very few and far between,Your Honor.I didn't actually treat her fOr a disease process.I knew her husband and treated him.before he died.And actually,the only treatment that she had previous to her hospital stay were minor ailments.One particulare was a great problem she had with her dieet.But as far as physical diseasebis concerned,there was little treatm ent.Sf e has been well. It wasnIt continuous treat1ment then? No. Jus t §poradic as called? That's right. .-And during this period that you treated her,did she e::xhibit any sig:1s of mental infirmity during that period? No,she did not. When is the first that you \(iWuld note a mental infirmity in her? I would say when she was admitted to St.Clair Hosp ital.She came there through the Emergency Room and this was my first contact with her in a period of several months,I would say.I dont rrecall 8J§<RCtly the previous'visit. Q Who was the psychiatrist that you called? A Dr.Chavern,Hugh Chavern.

I suppose that you had noted that prior to his exam ination,hadn't yolu ? Yes,I had. So he confirmed that? That's cOrrect. We;ll,art:eriosclerosis,of COUrse,is something that is common to aged individuals,is it not? Yes. And it depends'on the severity of it as to whether Or not it would.. affect tQ.e mental processes. 7 A Yes,it would.In many cases the mental prOcesses are not involvec, but there may be other processes involved.For instance,a stroke with a paralysis,but a perfectly alert mental status.In her case, it 'seems to have involv'ed the mental prOcesses. Q Doyou find her to be a generally disoriented? A Yes. Q What VIJ uld be the prognosis in her case now? A I think that the prognosis is poor.I do not expect that she will recoiTer, due to the severity.She may survive considerable time,but I donI think that she will improve. Q To the extent that she would have clear mental processes? A I don It expect that she r.will. Q So that the prognosis has to take into account her age and her declifling condition. A Yes. Q So at best,we,can expect no real improvement as far as mental condition is concerned.' affairs. A Yes,sir.I believe she could be . Q What is your name please? Q I believe that's all I have,sir.

Most of the tenants and so on have been very cooperative in going along with this thing. Is this the ledger book thatyou have been using? That's right. Referring tne Court to a ledger book labeled Moyer's Binder Reord r Numberl\-3L.What has been the purpose of this ledger book? The records were so sparce and incomplete,fOr oh,since---up unt'l about the middle of '68,Christine had kept P!t:ett)YEg00d records. They would drift off at times to very incomplete.And m~st of her records that were any value at all would only go mpa month Or so into '69.And from thereon,they woul d be very incomplete.In fact mos t of this was compiled from notes on the back of qld e'nvelopes . That was a peculiar habit of hers fOr many many years.She did a lot of her bookkeeping on the back of old envelopes instead of in a normal ledger which should have been done.

Do you feel that this will create any undue burden on your home,th operation of this real estate business of Mrs.McDowell? I don t think so.Personally,it will be a greater burden if my wife is not permitted to take care of this sister,whom she has had a personal pact with for 50 years,that one would take'care of the oth r, in any such ins tances as this. Does the Court have any questions? EXAMINATION BY THE COURT: uiII:~II:oD.IIIII: l-II:::loo .J0( U~~o Your Honor,some of those pages m§t'y seem a little irregl;]lar.' The reason was I mad'e those-up from earlier records which I rectified,but I still kept the original sheets in there and made corrected du pli,cates of it. Q Am I to understand,sir,that Mrs.McDowell made none of these records ?'I\hey all were made by'you ? A This book is entirely mine.I bought this book after her illness and put the whole thing together from three Or four other SOUrces. Some_ofh~:rbookkeeping she kept in receipt form books as if she 24 were going to give receipts to the tenants.but never gave them.ShE had an old ledger which in some cases she would mark down her re t payments andother ti mes she seemed to forget to do it,but she would have,the old envelope would still be there.In fact,I don't t. in the next week the absolute condition of.eV12ry tenant's account. of course.I have removed by scratching them out.But I will know and only came through with their payments here in the last week Or of ~.• the different records and those whe're)had duplications of reCOrds. would find certain tenants there that hadn't paid for ·orier a year under control.If you have time to go through there in d,etail,you \.l . And thl9Jse were a little vague anyway.But they are fairly}5rought Of COUrse.the '70 taxes.the statements have'n't come out yet. That's right.From these various sources.,Then I confirmed it, visited these tenants and have seen their cancelled cchecks to verify' here? as you see in a good many of these pages where I have now already or qIo:e~YYE1ars.It was six inches deep on the flOOr.

Now the second function is the real estate management and operation.If these guardians were not qualified to operate this business and had to liire somebody to perform the functions which Mr.Richards has described here today,·I doubttvery seriously that even an experienced secretary could accomplish what he has accomplished.But even assu~ing that you could do the work with the same results with a secretary,I thin~ a minimum c,?mpensation of-'$500.00 per month would be exp~cted or $$,000.00 a year. ,The third fUnction these guardians performed, ,.

Deducting ~he actual out-of-pocket expense and leaving the net of $13,000,how much'does tris br~ak down to in an hourly figure for fre time that you and your wife spent in the performance of the.-estate's uork? Oh,it amounts to about $4.50 an hour for the total hours and the." compensation we are asking for,which,by the way;"is somewhat ie s than either one of us would work for ordinarily. Do you feel that this is a fair and reasonable sum for the services.,. and efforts that you have done in the performance of the duties·of thi estate? Yes,I do. What ar.e thecoriditions of.the :r:enta1 rec,ords,the bus mess records of the estate at.this time? .The business records now? Yes. ." They are in,I would say excellent shape. In what condition were they on December 31 of 1970? " Oh,the record,s were in good condition at that time.They have been maintained. Q Does the Court have some questions of the witness? Moyer C.Richards EXAMINATION BY THE COURT: Q'Mr.Richards,you testified thatyou calculate that abollt 800/0 of your time has been used in the administration of this estate,leavirig only about 20%for your own private work.Now prior toyour engaging in ;. .-. the work that you have spoken of,was your private work done from your residence in'Mt.Lebanon or did you have an office? 15 eli:z A0(> ,~. tilZZ11/II. i0I-l!lZ "j; UI0(3 ...:uitן-m c oJ0( U C:J.~ :t.....N ui QlI:IIIl-ll:0L A:IIIlI: l-ll::J0U oJ0( Uii:... 0 Q My office is in my home.But·th~re is one thing I'd like to ,correc"t there,Your Honor,if you don't mind.Where you said 200/~and 80%,_ ,you may have the:,twTopg impression there when I said "1 was only ablE ,to ,devote 20%of the time that I should to my business is,so;~ut it " ," doesn't mean that only 80%of my working time went into'this estate . . I spent many hours to one and two o'clock in the morning,Saturdays and Sundays..which would,I would say would be 180%of what you ,- ~ould normally put intoanoccupation. " .And what is the nature of your private work?' My private work,I,'m a consultant in electrical instrumentation;that is medical electronics and electrical instrumentation.I have been in this business for 50 years.It'consists of being an electrical engilleer and a watchmaker. ,Are ydu able to pursue that occupation remaining in your home and 'in your office which is in your home most of the time?

Is that work for them done on a contraetbasis 7 -. Yes.It's done partially on a contract basis and an·hourly rate. And haveyou been able fo retain them as a satisfied customer during this time 7 Only to a limited extent.As I say,I have gone in only when necessa"y, Have they had to s'ecure other help in that line besid~s :yourself 7.. No.They have not taken on any other-help of ~.ny'type .:.They have 'lost some business that I take care'of. Mr.Richards,again I inquire,why you and Y?l;1r wife went to Canad to look after a bank account in presumably a reputable bank of which you had rec'ords'before you went there,without communicating in ~". writing with the bank to determine whether or not those records,. ~~.~.were precise andwp.ether or not the incompetent had the funds deposited there 7 Wouldn',t"a communication have b~en sufficient 7 :Our attorney d.idn't think so,Your H9nor.In fact,he did not even think that we would get the money,He said they were even having difficulty in similar case~getting funds between the s tates.A nd he said you 'ca!}try.And well,I was fla'Drly confident".I don't know why, when we went l.:lP there and presented the case and soon,that we would be succ'essfu~and we were.Of course,naturally,the credentials from here had no actual weight in Canada,as you probably know, But !1evertheless,they carried and whether the bank manager:.was receptive or not,but he seemed to tliink,he said,"Well,I think 16 Moyer C.Richards "we can take care of this all right.But,l~'e heisaid!"You come back ir another two weeks after the preliminary arrangements are.:maEle'and we will know more Cilbout it,"which we di<;L . Q And where in Canada was this institution?, 17 A It was in the Canadian Bank qfComrrierce in Barrie,Ontario. Q Is that "near Toronto? .". ~z~A.J>-.en Z ZIIIII. ~Q l'Z ien0(.~ ti t.ii:..~A .J0( Ua Q :J., :z:~(II .'Yes.That's about 70 miles ,North of.Toronto.The main bank is, . in Toronto,I believe . In stating the ,number of miles that.your vehic'le ~has registered in your work in the administration of 'this estat,e,do you include the mileage andt~e two trips to Canada? Yes . You state that Mrs.McDowell owns outright only three or four build ngs and cottages and the others are under a different arrangement.Wha.,. ai0:III..0:0,~AII:..Il::J •00 .J0( Uii:...,0 Q e A Q is the ge~eral arrangement of the leasing of the other properties? The.general leasing,well,the large Jeas8:1holde.rs,of cou rse,are , the Associated Theaters,which operate the two Mt.Lebanon Drive-ns, the Little Lake Theate"r and the Basle Enterprises. ". Those would .be on'her own properties,would they not? They are all on her property.. Well,I am s peaking o~.these leases that you differentiate from thOSE on her property'.What is the arrangement where sh'e does not have them on her property? A Where she does not ow n the buildings,is that what you ~av-e referen e to? .Moyer C.Richards ~'That must be what I have reference to.She would own the real estatE but not the buildings. ,,' Right,sir. What is the arrangement there generally?. ,The arrang~ment the:r:e,these plots 'of land,which have never been ac:tually,.surveyed or truly laid .Qut as lots,but a plot of land which iE rented to an individual or,a couple,:and then build their own'summer cottages arid maintain.them on this piece~f land. So that the lease there would contemplate the P?yment of'taxes on th property by the lessee. Yes.The Way the -leas es are made out.and you probably wou ldn't remember,but you did.of course-'-- We approved it. You went through that arrangement of the leases,but I'd say you probably won't remember that with all your activities;but ti,b Rents b§lsically for $.25.00 'a-month for the lot and they are liable for any taxes which are in excess of the old tax rate for farmland.Any ., buildings or anything that-are.taxecJ',;they must reimburse t~e estate because,of course,the estate.is taxes.ffhe municipality cannot t~x them because they don't own the ground,so therefore,it's taxed! .. to the SEs:ate and we in turn mus~·advise them of ,the cost and they reimburse the estate'. Q Now has it been your experience that there would be any increase in, tpe assessment on these pr:operties of the ground itself after they p~t '. 18 A Mover C.Richards the cottages on them? Actually,no.There has not been..'JfJ.ese pieces of land,are alllocate~ on an unimproved road,and there are no services extended to thes e cottages at all,'no public services . .Well,you.recognize that.in the assessment of Hie municipality and .,the county also,they separately'list the value of the land and value •~j •L 19 of the buildings. Oh,yes.They are grouped. <' Have you noted any increase in the value of the land after the buildin s have been placed on them? No,sir.The fact that most of them are just summer cottages a::nd not permanent.buildings and permanent residences and ~o on may ha e somet.liing to do with that too. ·And you 'state now thafall'of these lessees are pretty well current in payments. 'Right,sir. I~making you r 'investments after you f~)Und that there was some mo ~ey on hand,you made investments first in Treasury Notes? R~ght,sir. And then later when those would mature,you would put them in savings accounts? A Yes.In the longer term vyhere you have the better rate,like five and thre e quarter percent and so on;rat her 'than in regular savings Q Or in certificates,Certificat~s of peposit? ~oyerC.Richards A Yes.Which,of cours~,give a better rate.'But,of course,we knew we had to.'We do not invest this money in anything except'where it ~as' insured.That',naturally ou'r attorneys told us and I knew that mysel .. Now approximately how much would you calculate is presently invest~d in such funds? About $40,'000.00 . .Mr.Richards,you state that compensation·that you are seeking vzou d, 20 work out to about $4.50 an hour.~;Now is th~t for each of you or'for bpth? For both of us.'That's the total hours for both of our total hours . .That's $4.50 for.both of the co-guardians and not for each of them. No,it's for each hour that we spent~yes.Actual~y,your quest~on, to answer your question properly there,so ,there isn't any misunder )tandf:"~'ii ing,'it would be about where the two of us were involved.Now a -lot Iof this time was just alone,but in a good many cases we had to officiat~.... together.So in which ca,se it would actually amount to $9 .00 an hour where we were both'involved at the same time. -But the compensa~ionw?ich you request covers all of'those hours whether singly or doubly~ Right,·sir.· The records'which you now have arid 'which you are going to adminis er in the future are now in conCise proper business shape? A Right., Q And I take it then that it will not require nearly as much time and effort ~n the-future as it has in the past. Moyer C.Richards A'No,sir.
