Receiver for Traction Concern Faces Indiana Courts
In Indianapolis on July 12, two complaints ask the superior court to appoint a receiver for Indiana Union Traction Co. Plaintiffs Robert C. Light and A. W. Thomson name the Indiana Union Traction Co., the Indianapolis and North Michigan Traction Co., and 11 officers and directors as defendants. Light alleges a $6 million capitalization but only $10,000 paid in and improper $4 million transferred back to stockholders after a lease, with vast funds diverted and lines未 built. He seeks removal of officers, a court-imposed accounting, prohibition on disposing of holdings, annulment of the lease, and turnover of funds. Thomson seeks similar restraints on new lease terms perceived as exorbitant.
