West Texas Bank and Trust Faces Reorganization
The West Texas Bank & Trust Company, founded in 1906, grew rapidly but with capital shortages and has been in trouble for over a year. It served as city depository, holding about half a million in city funds until April, when Mayor Brown demanded transfer to another depository. The bank was then closed by the state banking commissioner. The city seeks protection under the bank guaranty fund and has filed an injunction suit that remains pending.
