Carroll Gridley, conservator of the estate of John S. made in the petition enteres by At torney Signey H. Block last week was that Carroll Gridley had failed to make an inventory of the estate. This delay, according to the an-- swer, nad been caused by the fact that Carroll Gridliey was not in possession of the facts regarding the real estate in Florida, althougt he had the personal property item ized. --Attorney Block declared that he had months ago sent a de tailed report of the Florida real estate to the conservator, but the latter apparently had not noticed it. The answer states that John Grid-- charges made against him by Mrs. John Gridley, who is seeking to have him removed as conservator.
