William Meyer Lewin asks Francis E. Leupp if he might suggest that President Roosevelt consider enacting a law regarding receiverships. Lewin proposes that when a public utility is placed under a receivership, the United States Attorney be given notice of this decision and allowed to nominate one of the receivers. Lewin connects this request with his experience as counsel for the estate of Dr. E. Oliver Belt, who was killed in a train crash.
