Decision on Loan Assn Case Looms Next Week
In Little Rock chancery court judge Richard Mobley indicated a decision on the Arkansas Loan and Thrift Corp case would come by next Monday. The AL&T, insolvent with 4.2 million in liabilities, faced asset liquidation to satisfy creditors after challenging the use of an old United Loan charter bought in 1965. A federal receiver may be involved in settling debts as the case unfolds. At Hope Lions Club, Mike Kelly outlined housing and urban renewal progress with 140 units, 85 occupied, and a Christmas basket fund drive supported by Hope High School students who presented a substantial check via student council vice president Jimmie Alford.
