Central Trust seeks receiver for Savannah and Western line
In Macon on March 29 Judge Pardes was to hear the Central Trust Company of New York’s bid to remove the Savannah and Western railroad from Comer’s control and place it under an independent receiver. The case involves a 623 mile system tied to Central Railroad holdings, bonds, and related canal stocks across Georgia and Alabama, with a prior ruling by Judge Speer complicating control efforts.
