The company's liability to you is ip265.00 and though I do not ask you to cut this amount, I would appreciate it if you would enter a standby agreement with the company to collect this amount when the R. F, C. loan is liquidated. Then for future operations, the company would pay for itis water monthly instend of at the end of each year.
