Danbury and Bethel Street Railway Cited in Credit Claims
A Connecticut court plans to appoint a one man committee to hear creditor claims against Danbury and Bethel Street Railway Co. Judge Haines will decide the committee the same day as a federal battle over a $20,000 private claim. Bondholders from many states object to privileges for the Danbury company and its creditors seek hearings to sort preferred claims and outstanding balances. John McCarthy of Danbury seeks $46,000 for coal, asking placement in the preferred class. The Connecticut company opposes interest payments on 1917 1918 notes, arguing funds should go to the Connecticut company. Witnesses indicate the Connecticut balance due mirrors the alleged bond interest.
