New York June 21 The J Hamburger Company Inc commission merchants at 227 West Street filed a voluntary proceeding to reorganize under Section 77B of the bankruptcy law. The petition lists liabilities of 1,445,198 exclusive of capital stock with assets of 199,431. The firm Hartman Levy Hartman represents the company.

The 1926 building at 227 West Street cost about 210,000. Cash withdrawals of about 100,000 during construction and the subsequent downturn harmed the business, though obligations were met.
