Stock transfer challenged in New Jersey powder firm case
In Trenton Chancery Court on May 27 Hetty L. Henry of Pompton Lake seeks to restrain the New Jersey E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company from disposing of its property and stock. She argues the Delaware parent’s $240,000,000 capital issue exceeds absorption needs, harming New Jersey stockholders. Elsewhere, Mrs Henry owns four shares, Morgan & Co. has deposited $2,000,000, and $8,500,000 has moved from the Bank of England Ottawa branch. The Saxon Motor Car Corporation declared a $1.50 initial dividend with quarterly payments planned.
