City Savings Bank Depositors Get Priority, Court Rules
Detroit April 17 The Wayne circuit court held that savings depositors of the wrecked City Savings Bank should be preferred over commercial depositors in the distribution of proceeds from real estate sales. The decision states real estate assets amounting to 98 28% were derived from the savings side and interest was funneled to savings depositors, offsetting the bank's failure as a commercial overextension and mismanagement. The ruling, upheld by the supreme court, suggests savings claimants may receive around ten percent, while commercial depositors face substantial reductions. A separate case mentions a banker on trial, Aldenberg, charged with forging ties to the bank and a fatal shooting at a residence involving a presiding judge.
