PRESTOE IN AS RECEIVER.
Says He Never Liked Building Loan Bank
Ing Co.'S Methods.

Charles NJ. Preston qualified Yesterday
as temporary receiver for the defunct New
York Building Loan Banking Company.
His bond is 100000. He took possession
of the Offices Of the company at III Fifth
avenue in the afternoon. There are about
10000 depositors, and their aggregate claims
amount to $1,000 600. Mr.. Preston said
there was some hope that the company
would resume business
Paul Worms, the president, introduced
the receiver to the office force and then
went away.
Frank Jerold. a shareholder, has assumed
leadership Of some of the depositors who
are not satisfied with the Worms admin
istration. l.. NJ. Martin, counsel for Jerold,
said yesterday:
we are not satisfied with the appoint
ment Of Mr. Preston. He has been in too
close touch with the officers Of the company. "
When told yesterday afternoon that his
appoint ment was not pleasing to Jerold s
friends. Receiver Preston laughed and
said: i have just received letter from
Jerold asking me to give him Job"
Mr.. Preston said that he never liked the
business methods of the company.
Much of their property" he said, "was
held subject to first and second mort cages,
80 the securities they had TO offer were
largely equities. When I was in the Stat e
Banking Department seven or eight wears
ago l complained Of this to the Attorney
General, who ordered an invest CAT ion
But the company was found then to be sol
vent and the proceedings were dropped"

A dance was held at the home of
Fred Dunn on Wednesday evening of
last week. During the evening a
young man who had "seen better
times appeared, and as we under
stand, was ''going to dance or fight"
II all reports be true, he did the latter, |
consequently several young men were |
notified the next day to appear before |
District Attorney Stakeholder on the |
following Saturday, on the charge OF |
the peace. There being no |
evidence against them the case was
dropped, the costs of about $50 TO be |
paid by the town. Our taxpayers ask |
this question: wouldn't it be wise |
for certain people to think twice before
they act, and to know upon what
ground they have their footing?"
