TACOMA, June 29.-The Union Savings Bank and Trust Company closed its doors this morning and several hours later went into the hands of a receiver as a direct result of the recent Supreme Court decision deciding a large amount of city warrants to be illegal. Judge Williamson appointed Attorney Charles Richardson to take charge of the assets of the concern. The bank was organized in February, 1891, with the late General J. Sprague as President. Chester Thorne is VicePresident and A. B. Nicol, Cashier, the latter having been the active manager of the bank since it began business. The capital stock is $100,000. The local deposits are small, the bank having been engaged chiefly in the purchase of securities of cities, counties, towns and school districts through the Northwest. It owns $155,000 of Tacoma general fund warrants and $18,000 of city hall funds warrants, the validity of which is thrown into question by the Supreme Court decision handed down Friday. These warrants were purchased at par for cash through City Treasurer George Boggs, who took the bank's money, paid city employes to whom the warrants were issued, stamped the warrants not paid for lack of funds and turned them over to the bank. This method was used in order to get the warrants in blocks of $10,000 each, though the bank might have purchased them direct from the city's employes and in that event have avoided the complications now arising. The Supreme Court decided that Treasurer Boggs having once paid the warrants they passed into the bank's possession as re-issued and invalid warrants. The bank will now ask for a rehearing in the Supreme Court and will also sue the city for moneys had and received. It owns securities issued by over twenty cities nor counties in Washington and with the exception of these warrants has had no trouble regarding them. In view of the Supreme Court's decision, a receivership was considered advisable to protect all interests. Cashier Nicol says taht every depositor will be paid in full when the warrants are relized upon as he has no doubt they will be eventually and that the stockholders should receive the full value of their stock. No statement of assets and liabilities has been made.
