Receivers Score Two Practical Victories In Court
In Baltimore on July 24 the United States circuit court granted the Baltimore and Ohio receivers permission to issue 2 350 000 in new certificates to expand equipment including locomotives and rolling stock. The court also allowed bondholders to sue in Indiana Illinois and Ohio to foreclose the Chicago division mortgage and seek separate receivers, while preserving state court limits that do not allow immediate possession of the Chicago branch without federal authorization. This preserves the system and leaves a potential separate receivership to a separate court, as per the judges prior stance.
