This estate includes a number of small plots, sites of houses, etc., held under weekly or yearly tenancies and until the purchase moneys of these tenancies are lodged in cash agreements to purchase cannot be signed in respect thereof. The society has not been dissolved pending the settlement of the question of these tenancies, but when this matter has been completed and agreements to purchase signed, the dissolution of the society will take place. The parcels, including those in respect of which cash payments have been lodged, can then be revested in the tenant purchasers.
