New York City Railway Receivers Seek 3.5 Million Certificates
Adrian Joline and Douglas Robinson, serving as receivers for the New York City Railway Company, asked the United States Circuit Court for authority to issue receivers' certificates totaling 3.5 million dollars. They argue funds are needed to rebuild rolling stock and tracks, upgrade car barns, add fire protection, and secure insurance, with proceeds to be spent solely on property improvements. The request cites failure of Metropolitan Securities to repay advances and notes a suit to recover 3.549% to offset certificate repayment. A hearing is set for Thursday after noon, March 12.
