Plan Another Suit Over Central of Georgia Bonds
A bondholders committee says another suit will be filed against the Central of Georgia Railway after the directors refused to pay interest on three classes of income bonds this year. The action mirrors a previous case about 5 percent on first class 4,000,000, 3 percent on second 7,000,000, and nothing on third 4,400,000, claiming surplus earnings were diverted to other uses. The committee cites Ocean Steamship Company earnings not considered and notes the steamship unit, owned by Central of Georgia, likely earned over 500,000. The pending suit followed Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden J. Perry’s control and Harriman interests now own the property. The exact filing date remains undecided.

Outflow of Crop Money This Week From New York Banks
Bankers said yesterday that the annual drain of currency to the West for crops will begin this week as interior shipments slowed. The harvest movement started last year August 8 with $47.5 million routed through New York to the interior, a figure near prior years. Local bankers expect at least $40 million this season, though reserves may blunt the impact and rate increases are likely minimal. In Scranton, Penn., the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Company seeks $500,000 to cover interest, taxes, and charges on bonds. a judge granted permission.
