THREE RECEIVERS NAMED. FOR AS MANY GEORGIA BUILD? ING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS. (By Telegraph to Atlanta, April building and loan associations passed Into the hands of receivers to-day, making three in as many days. The court procedure in each case was the being appointed by Judge Don A. Par dee, of the United States Circuit Court, for the home oittce.

while ancillary re? ceivers were named in the States in which the concern did business. It is claimed in each case that the action taken was the result of mutual under? standing, and the cause of the receiver? ships the decisions by courts In the matter of taxation. The National Railway Building and Loan Association, of which D. B. Stun cllffe was general manager, was named In an application to Judge Pardee last night, and the head of the concern was announced as its receiver this morning.

Meanwhile instructions for the filing of ancillary bills in the Slates of Florida, Loulslnana, Texas, Alabama and Mis? sissippi were sent by telegraph. The assets and liabilities of the Na? tional Railway Association are about $300,000. The application for the receiv? ership was made by J. F. Bottom, Birmingham, and the grounds alleged are unfavorable rulings by the courts of various States, and especially that of the Georgia Supreme Court in the matter of taxes.

The application was not. resisted. The Atlanta National Building and Loan Association, of this city, was given into the hands of receivers this afternoon, Judge Pardee naming George A. Spear and Llgon Johnson for the places. The assets are a half million dollars, and the receivers claim that every dollar of indebtedness will be paid in a short time.

The application In this case was made by A. E. Dlxon, of North Carolina, and Mrs. Mary Mc Klnlock, of Charleston, S. C.

Action looking to the appointment of ancillary receivers In nearly all of the Southern States was taken. On Wednesday last Judge Pardee named receivers for the Southern Home Building and Loan Association with li? abilities of about $1,000,000. None of the associations has yet made a report of their conditions. The total assets involved in the three receiverships ap? proximate two million dollars. In explaining the cause for the trou? ble in the National Railway Building and Loan Association.

Hon. Porter King, one of the attorneys, said: "For one not familiar with the facts It Is impossible to appreciate how the sudden demand for $40,000 of back taxes by the State nnd county and the demand by the city for back taxes al? so under a decision lately rendered by the Supreme Court, tended to paralyze the business of the associations. "During the entire life of this asso? ciation, since 1S91. the tax laws of Georgia have exempted it from taxes, except upon shares on which no loans were made, nnd except upon the real estate, which was held unconstitution? al by the Supreme Court, thus holding that during all these years taxes must be paid on all the debts due the asso? ciation by borrowers in nil the States where it did business, and also holding that the licenses paid the several cities did not exempt it from city taxes on the entire assets and indebtedness. "Not only was the claim made for back taxes, but In future its taxes would be.

at the same rate and on the same valuation, making a. total taxa? tion of about per cent, on nil its assets, and It was simply impossible to live under such a burden." Captain W. D. Ellis, attorney for the Atlanta National Association, said: "The association was really In good shape, but the demands for back taxes from the city and county, with the fact that a multiplication of suits were threatened, made It apparently Impos? sible to keep up the fight any longer. That was especially true on account of the failure of two other bul'dlng and loan associations and the Impression naturally created in the public mind that no national building and loan as? sociation could stand the severe strain through which they were being forced to pass." Judge Pardee has granted orders on ancillary bills, placing the co-receivers In charge of the assets of the associa? tion In the various Southern States.
