Hearing on Suit by Bankers Mortgage Firm
Commissioner Wilson Cowen said a hearing may be held this summer on a suit by Bankers Farm Mortgage Co. Fond du Lac against the U S government for 7886047 dollars. The suit, filed April 30, 1945, seeks payment on bonds of the Bankers Joint Stock Land Bank of Milwaukee after liquidation. The company argues the bonds were issued under the federal government and the government is liable, a claim the U S treasurer has not yet ruled on due to lack of a court decision or congressional action.
