Creditors of the Wilmington
Mills Manufacturing Company met
at the office Of H. ii. Ward yester-
day afternoon and accepted the
plant as security for their claims
which aggregate about $4,000 It
was on the suggestion of the COM
pany that the jute mill property was
turned over to the creditors, and in
a few days the Court will be asked
to appoint two trustees to continue
the business. The property is own
ed by the Morrow estate and after
all claims against the Company are
satisfied it will be returned to the
estate. This action was agreed
upon by the creditors of the COM
pany because of the fairness the
officials displayed in adjusting
their troubles.
The liabilities of the Company are
divided as follows: Union National
Bank, 100000; National Bank of
Wilmington and Brandywile, S., 800
National Bank of Delaware, So, 500;
Farmers Bank of Delaware, 81, 500.
