Together with his application for a receiver, Mr . • t\.ndrews filed a request tha t the assets of the company be se· questered s o that the creditors may be paid. The property of the line is cov . • ered by a mOTtgage amounting to $1,000,000. A majority of stock in the com pany is owned by th e Long I s land Railroad which supplies all of the elec· tric current. A cco rding to recent tes- timony before the Public Service C<nn · mission, the local company is already s o deeply indebted to the railroad com- pany for its current that it will never be able to settle the account. The finaqcial difficulties O'f the Long I s land Traction Com;>~ ha,!..e ~ been well uown tor some time anj the ac. tion late la st week of Judg e Van Sic- len does not come as a surprise. Mr. Andrew was appointed to take charge of the concern following a recent in· quiry by the Public Service Commis· s ion at which i t was declared that the prop e rty had been mismanaged, but that efficien t s up er vision c ould put it on a paying basis.
