Broadway Manufacturing Co Ordered To File Annual Reports
The Kansas supreme court is asked to mandate Broadway Manufacturing Co of Leavenworth to file full annual reports with the secretary of state. Assistant Attorney General Snelling seeks a mandamus to compel disclosure of receipts and disbursements for the current year. If the court rules in favor, it will set a precedent for corporate reporting and strengthen state powers under current laws. The Leavenworth company, organized under Kat-Ris laws with $1 capital, previously submitted partial data and refused to provide receipts and disbursements. President Fenn and Secretary R H Fenn lead the firm, which makes sash, doors, blinds, and mouldings. The case, likely to be filed this afternoon, tests state authority and could progress to the supreme court for an immediate decision.
