Morgun',i agent said that he would be_aviiilable on December 22, but this date conies during the Christmas re cess thus making it impossible to ac cept. The committee wired Morgan's agent to return the SG2S deposit, which is half of the price contracted for. They were able to get Norvo for $lOOO, a saving of 0250.
