Patterson Sees No Merit in City's Suit
Comissioner John Patterson says San Antonio city action against him over the West Texas Bank case has produced no benefit for the city. He notes the bank guaranty law requires pro rata payment to all creditors and that state guaranty funds would cover any shortfall for depositors, not the city or other creditors. Patterson objects to the injunction delaying unsecured and non interest bearing deposits and defends his planned early payments.
