Minority Stockholders Seek Co-Receiver in City and Suburban Suit
Arguments before Justice Anderson in the District Supreme Court outlined the minority stockholders plea for a co receiver to join Allan L. McDermott. They want an order to end transfers from other lines to City and Suburban and to stop use of City and Suburban tracks by Washington Railway.
