'WESTERLY Receivers Appointed. For Narrow Fabric Company—Knights Cravagreer Case—Town Council’s Special Session Fail- ed to Grant Final License. Msfter being in secret conclave for an hour and forty minutes, the council meeting adjourned without granting the coveted liquor license. In addi- tion to the other applications presented during the evening was one for a re- newal from Horace ¥. Sisson for 65 Mein street. The clerk was authorized 1o advertise the applications and a will be held Dec. 23. The Westerly Narrow Fabric com- , in whioh about $65,000 of local Fapltal ts invested, was brought into the floedlight of publicity by the ap- t of receivers, a move to the alleged attempt of & few of those financially interested tg possession of the property an e out the Majority of stocknolders. But for the master play of one who represents the majority in the matter of the receivership, the property would probably have been sold at sheriff’s ale and become the property of hold- ers of notes against ihe companv. and at a price that would enable the for- mation of a vloser corporation. perhaps reorganization under a different name 2nd utilizing the property for some other manufactyrineg purposes. Suits had beén brought against the Westerly Narrow Fabric company by the Washington Trust company and by Charles BE. Sherman and others, with the far feature thaut one of the as an officer of the company would be & defendant in the same case in_which he was plaintiff. There was a hearing Wednesday be- fore Judge Tanner in the superior court at Providence on a petition brovght by Capt. Walter H. Davis ask- ing the appointment of a receiver for the Westerly Narrow Fabric com- pany for the benefit of ail the stock- holders and creditors. Judge Tanner granted the petition over the appoint- z.ent of receivers, the petition naming Judge Bdward M. Burke of Westerly, and the other pariies in interest nam- :ng Charies E. Shermen, also of West- «riy. PBoth nominations were approved. The lawyers present were Arthur M. Allen and Rush Burgess for petitioner, Seeber Bdwards and Harry B. Agard for certain creditors and stockholders, James C. Colilns for respondent cor- poration. The Westerly Narrow Fabric com- g.ny ‘was organized almost entirely by ‘esterly capital, it being represented that the preferred stock would pay at ieost seven and one-half per cent. and that the common stock would be a profitable investment. The company was to exploit the new Steere looms that were to revolutionize the narraw fabric industry, but which failed to come up to the stendard represented. The company was formed with a paid in cepital of $64,600 and a new mill b was constructed at a cost of $27,000. The business was operated for 18 months and at the end of that time it is alleged that all the cash paid in had been expended and the company wa® in debt to the amount of $30,000. The building and equipment valua- ion is estimated to be $40,000 and 1t is possible that if good sale can be made of the property that there will be about $10,000 for distribution to the preferred atockholders, but nothing for the com- mon. As the company was hopelessly & as was salable disposed of, but the looms are still among the assets. It is understood that the Washing- tom Trust company suit 18 to recover on notes of $3,000 and that the other is a suit to recover on a loan of $15,500, with Charles E. Sherman, Frank Sher- man, Dr. John F. Champlin, estate of JTames Welch and William < as the plaintiff. In these suits attachments were placed on the mill property last September and was so guarded thag the fact 414 not become known until the pubMcation of the docket of the November term of the superior court for Washington county & few weeks ago. Captale Davis brought his petition for the appointment of receivers on the wround that Charles E. Sherman, one of the plantiffs in a suit against the . Westerly Narrow Iebric company, was treasurer of the company and had en- gaged counsel to defend the suit in which he was one of the plaintiffs; un- der the stajutes the quty of Judge Tan- ner_was pl The chief promoter: Narrow Fabric com ny are not the largest stockholders, some of them not investing over $500 in preferred stock, ard the gemeral impression that some Dartles foremust in the movement to improve the Indasirial conditions of Westerly, and who belleved in the hon- ~ esty and stability of the undertaking, had been heavy financial losers in the project. is not true. The real condl- tions will probably be known when the raceivers completa their invastigation, preparatory to the disposition of the property. of the Westerly AsK Your Dealer for CANDEE RUBBERS They Fit All Shoes And Give Good Service WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS.
