the proceeds of the banking house
when sold and from the proceeds
of an assessment levied against the
shareholders. The value of the
banking house is substantial, but
sale thereof may be difficult.
The suit to enforce collection of
the assessment on the shareholders, ="
Mr.. Young told the depositors," is
being vigorously contested on the
ground, among others, that no in
tereSt is payable to the creditors.
Prosecution of this suit and the
collection of a judgment against the
shareholders, when and if obtained,
together with the sale of the bank
ing house, will postpone for an in
definite period the termination of
the receivership and the payment
of all or any part of any interest
to the depositors. If the sharehold-
erS prevail in the pending suit or
any appeal thereof, there will be no
interest payment to any creditor. In
the event the shareholders do not
prevail and the case is appealed,
additional costs and delay will be
incurred with the hazard of the
ultimate outcome of the litigation" ;"
Explaining terms of the proposal.
the receiver said it contemplated
that all depositors will be requested
to assign to the committed of share
holders) all accrued interest in ex-
cess of 3 per cent of the principal
amount of the claims as proved,
the assignment being purely volun-
tary and made for the purpose
only of winding up the affairs of
the receivership and of making un-
necessary the expense and delay of
further litigation with the share
holders. When sufficient assign
ments have been received by the
committee to make the plan ef-
fective the committee will deliver
such assignments to the receiver,
which will constitute waiver of the
interest covered thereby.
The plan, therefore, is in the ma
ture of a compromise of the con-
ficting claims of the depositors for
the full payment of interest on the
one hand. and of the shareholders
who deny liability under the as
sessment and deny the validity OF
all interest claims. on the other
hand"
The estimated value of uncol-
lected assets is placed by the re-
ceiver in his statement of the re-
ceivership's condition, at s72 $50, not
including the uncollected stock as
sessment, which is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
