Wormser Suit Aims to Stop Metropolitan Lease
In a Special Term proceeding, Isidor Wormser Jr seeks to enjoin the Metropolitan Street Railway and the Interurban from carrying out a lease arrangement. Wormser alleges constructive fraud by officers and a plan that would divert earnings to Interurban stockholders, with the Metropolitan Securities Company set to pay 7 percent dividends from new capital. The case features testimony from Wormser’s attorney and Metropolitan officials, and adjourns with H. H. Vreeland expected to testify next.
