State Would Buy Grain Elevator by Alabama Docks
The Alabama State Docks would buy the bankrupt Alabama Grain Elevator Co for about 1.6 million dollars pending Federal Court confirmation. The deal, to be filed with Bankruptcy Referee Sidney J. Gray and U.S. District Court next week, would add roughly 25 percent to the docks’ net income. Ward W. McFarland, Docks Director, said the settlement calls for 1,147,340 dollars from Reconstruction Finance Corp and 475,000 dollars cash to the Federal Trustee to settle creditor claims. The elevator, built in 1952 for 2.2 million on land leased from the State Docks, has faced litigation since spring amid suits by Continental Grain Co and Leval & Co for 4.5 million dollars over warehouse receipts for nonexistent soybeans.
