BUILDTNG AND LOAN COMPANIES.
Only One i'm Knoxville Now That Is
Unembarrassed.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. January %
The only building and loan association
i'm this city now which is not in the
hands of receiver is the Peoples, and
it is not purely a building and loan or
ganization, but does a banking business,
with the building and loan feature as
side issue
Captain A. Y. Burrows was to-day
named as receiver for the Citizens Build
ing and Loan Association. The Citi-
zens association does business I'm Ten
nessee. Kentucky, and Virginia. The
cause given for the assignment was the
panic, ana failure TO realize on real es-
tate. The stockholders Of the Knoxville
company held a meeting to-day, and
agreed TO have the temporary receiver
ship made permanent, and that the re-
ceiver be instructed to close up the af-
fairs of the association at once. This
is the Oldest one Of the building associa-
tions in Knoxville, having been organized
in 1872.
A feature of the many failures, which
has not been previously mentioned, is
that the associations owe to the city of
Knoxville over $500 I'm taxes, which must
be paid first of all.
The Covenant Building and Loan AS
sociation. whtf asked for receiver yes
terday. has had W. a. Galbraith, Deputy
Clerk and Master Of the Chancery Court.
named. This association will wind up
it's business at once.
