The
Area bankruptcy cases rise in Northern District
Bankruptcy cases filed in the Northern District Court at Wheeling including Morgantown and Fairmont rose sharply in the first four months of the year. The total was 301, up from 279 in all of 1974’s first six months. Marion and Monongalia County filings more than doubled. Dr. Neil Palomba of West Virginia University links the rise to recession, noting unemployment and bankruptcies lag and the economy will take about a year to improve.
