Dwight Braman, named receiver for Bay State Gas, reported books and assets were scattered across five states and offices were closed. A pending contract would have allowed Bay State Gas of Delaware to buy Brookline Gas of Massachusetts for about 1,000,000. Braman said reorganization could save millions and unite capital at 36 million. William Buchanan lost 100,000 in cash, and Addicks resigned amid the Brookline deal.
