Springfield Man Absent With Company Funds Amid Strain
Springfield January 5. Great interest arose yesterday as Raymond the general manager of the Superior Tap company of Charlestown New Hampshire formerly in Springfield, left with company money. He told stockholders and directors that business strain had been too great and that he took cash and notes he could discount. Directors met in Charlestown and decided to continue operations with existing management. A stockholders meeting will be held around January to decide action. Slack, the heaviest stockholder, says a letter from Raymond in New York City claimed the strain forced departure and that the deficit appears larger than the letter indicates. The company bank balance at Hellubes Falls is reportedly low and books have not yet been carefully examined.
