Security of City Railroad Funds Tied to Bank Failure
Indications the city remains secured for a 43000 deposit in the closed Houston National bank emerged as a $50000 surety bond was not renewed before its closing. Two bonds of 10000 and 315000 were obtained from separate firms, with the city attorney notifying them of potential responsibility.
