Trust company files foreclosure petition in Broad Ripple receivership
The State Street Trust Company of Boston filed an intervening petition in superior court for the Broad Ripple street railway receivership. It seeks foreclosure of a $300,000 mortgage on the road, with bonds held by the trust company. No interest has been paid for years, and a stipulation allows foreclosure when funds reach the receiver. Arrangements exist for acquisition by a company led by William Schmidt and eventual absorption by the Indianapolis street railway. Ferdinand Winter and William J. Turner, attorneys for the Indianapolis company, filed the suit Wednesday.
