Suffolk Trust Company Halts Business as Receiver Is Appointed
Supreme Court grants injunction against Suffolk Trust Company, restraining further dealings and appointing John Haskell Butler as receiver. Savings Bank Commissioners pressed action after noting funds paid on Western mortgages yield little return, with $162000 owed to depositors and $150000 in usable paper. The firm’s weak capital is tied up in Western securities, while mortgage holders guard their notes amid history of misfortune and delayed interest.
