Plant Proceeds Are Distributed The $35,000 proceeds of the sale recently of the W. H. Bruns Hydrated Lime Co. of Woodville to a firm of Toledo attorneys, following receivership proceedings begun in common pleas court in July, 1929, by the F. Bissell Co. of Toledo, a creditor concern, were ordered to be placed in escrow with Clerk of Courts Miss Lois G. Felsted as agent last Saturday by Judge Overmyer. At the same time Prosecutor Frazier B. Reams of Toledo, receiver, was allowed additional fees of $4,750 for his services and his counsel, Attorneys Cotter and McFellin were given additional fees of $3,750 and expenses of $38.50 for their services. Attorneys for the bondholders also were allowed fees of $500. Court costs, together with taxes, both real and personal, and penalties also are to be paid immediately out of the funds in Miss Felsted's hands. Likewise are $5,000 worth of receiver's certflicates, plus $600 interest, which the receiver said Saturday that he could settle by paying to I. J. Fulton, state superintendent of banks in charge of liquidating the closed Commercial Savings Bank & Trust Co., Toledo, both cash claims covering deposits in the bank. The receiver also said he believed he could negotiate with Treasurer Herman A. Kowalk for a reduction in the total due for delinquent taxes by paying them and the penalties at once. Holders of the $150,000 worth of bonds issued by the company in 1926 are to receive the remainder on a prorata basis when they surrender their bonds to the clerk. Labor claims for the period of one year prior to the receivership were found to be subsequent to the mortgage of bondholders and disallowed. Reams and his attorneys each hitherto received $750 for their services. These orders Saturday followed hearings on Reams' application for instructions. He reported the deal with the Toledo buyers as entirely closed, the deed delivered and the money paid in.
