Millions are Gone Dissolution Sought in Metro Street Case
State Attorney General seeks court action to force repayment of funds diverted from the Metropolitan Street Railway complex. Receivership hearings before the Public Service Commission hinge on $700000 diverted to a special construction account with only about $2000 traceable via canceled checks or stubs. The attorney general accuses directors of waste and asserts $109 million in unpaid dividends and losses from operations under Interborough Metropolitan and New York City Railway Company. He calls for dissolution and repayment, naming multiple defendants and alleging misappropriation of assets and improper expenditures across Manhattan Island.
