March. when 1t was incorporated with
the privilege Of a maximum capitalization
of 100000. today began proceedings In
the District Supreme Court for dissolu-
ton. About $50 residents OF Maryland
and Of the District Of Columbia are named
as stockholders and defendants.
Suit was recently brought against the
company and the Federal Finance Cor
poration by Maryland citizens in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, in which they al
lego they were induced to purchase stock
in the latter corporation for $50 a share
with the understanding that stock of the
insurance company was to be purchased
by the Federal Finance Corporation
The Washington City Life Insurance
Company, in its request to be allowed
to dissolve, denies that it sold any
stock for more than s12 a share, that
being the par value. plus 20 per cent for
a surplus fund. If Marylanders were
induced to pay $40 a share. the COM
pany says 1t had no knowledge of the
transactions and would have advised
any inquirers that its sales were al
