Bond Transfer Authorized in Atlanta Telephone Case
The court ended the dispute between Atlanta Standard Telephone Company and Atlanta Trust and Banking Company. Judge Lumpkin approved a $600,000 bond transfer to City Trust Safe Deposit and Surety Company of Philadelphia, dissolved the injunction, and left the trust in place to cancel the mortgage. The phone company must post a $20,000 bond and pay the trustee $750 plus the trustee’s counsel similar fees. Counsel for the telephone company provided security from City Trust, which the court accepted. The case, filed February 13, sought removal of the trust company as trustee and an injunction against declaring bonds or foreclosing the mortgage. The ruling ends litigation. the Philadelphia investors reportedly control the enterprise. The stockholders’ meeting indicated satisfactory operations and full settlement of indebtedness except unrecovered bonds.

Southern Home Receivers Say Company Will Pay Out
Receivers Judge Pendleton and William Henderson state confidence in Southern Home Building and Loan Association assets, expecting stockholders to receive 100 cents on the dollar. They cite federal receivership to reduce litigation and simplify liquidation, with an estimated two years to wind up, while noting tax challenges and state-law complications. Captain Ellis adds that unfriendly legislation and panic of 1893 harmed investors, and stresses the need for a unified federal receivership to avoid massive, costly state court battles.
