City of Montesano v. Carr
Washington Supreme Court
Cross-appeals from a judgment of the superior court for Chehalis county, Irwin, J., entered September 20, 1913, in an action by a creditor to recover an unpaid subscription to the capital stock of an insolvent corporation, after a trial to the court.
1Opinion of the CourtParker, J.

The city seeks recovery of such judgment against Carr upon the ground that it is a creditor of the Monte*385sano Planing.Mill Company, an insolvent corporation, and that Carr is indebted to that company in the sum of $1,000 for an unpaid stock subscription made by him to its capital stock.
