In re Waters-Colver Co.
District Court, E.D. New York
In the matter of the Waters-Colver Company, bankrupt. On report of commissioner on petition of the Badenhausen Company.
1Opinion of the Court
CHATFIEED, District Judge.

They asked the Waters-Colver people to obtain authority therefor. The contract was signed with that end in view, and other arrangements were made with the government showing that all parties contemplated that title in the boilers would pass to the government.
Such a situation would defeat reservation of title to the boilers…
