BY WILLIAM S. TARVER,

Appointed permanent receiver Of the
Montgomery Building &, Loan Asso-
citation today, Col Julius ]. Peyser, local
attorney, announced he will file suit
as soon as it can be prepared against
the officers and the directors of the or
ganization for $32O,O00, representing
the amount of foundation surplus GER
tif1cates outstanding.
Col. Peyser's appointment followed
turbulent hearing at which Justice
James M. Proctor of District Court Or
dered dissolution of the associate and
refused to name Joseph r. Little, the
organizations president and tenn
porary receiver. as permanent receiver
During the hearing, Col. Peyser. who
represented both stockholders and sur
plus certificate holders, charged the
sale of the certificates represented a
fraud perpetrated on these innocent
people-most of them women"
Unanimous Recommendation.
The new receiver was appointed on
the unanimous recommendation of all
attorneys present representing stock
holders and certificate holders, who had
withdrawn from the hearing to make a
selection. On their recommendation,
William E. Richardson, one Of their
number, was appointed attorney for the
receiver.
Appointment of Mr.. Little was unani-
mously opposed on the ground he had
been a director during the time the
surplus certificates had been sold.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
proceeds of the sale of the certifi-
Gates was paid to the promoters, it
was stated
Mr.. Richardson charged stockhold-
ers had paid into the association ap-
proximately s785,000 and that assets
now total only S567,OO0.
This money has been dissipated
in the payment of these extraordinary
commissions" he declared.
Cites Need of Confidence.
Justice Proctor said he did not want
to suggest that he had any lack of
confidence in Mr.. Little, but he felt a
receiver should be appointed who had
the confidence of all interested par
ties.
1T eventually will be for the re-
ceiver to determine whether any ac-
ton must be brought against the di-
rectors and officers of the association" ="
said the jurist." This receivership
should start off with every ones con-
fidence in the courts selections. The
receiver must be man who will act
fearlessly and disinterestedly. Mr..
Little undoubtedly would meet these
qualifications to the best of his abil-
ity, but this is a question of conf
dence"
At the suggestion of Col Peyser the
various attorneys who participated in
the hearing retired from the courtroom
to try to agree on some individual to
recommend to the court as permanent
receiver. Justice Proctor told them
that if they could agree he would give
their recommendation serious consid-
Grafton, but that otherwise separate
recommendations would not carry
much weight. He said he preferred
