Sanford property attached in New Bedford bank action
The Citizens National Bank of New Bedford attached Arnol B Sanford's property for 5,000 in two notes he signed. The move could push Seaford toward insolvency. Sanford, ex-president of the Board of Trade and treasurer of the Globe Yarners, says no preferred creditors arise if insolvent. The notes are personal. two residences exist in Somerset and Johnsonburg. Bank capital is 400,000, with a bond issue of 1,500 to secure notes. A Providence businessman related to Sanford may become a major creditor if the estate goes to court.
