Per son, Franklin county, rind .other mem bers of the association as plaintiffs, alleged wanton extravagance in the Following a long series of figures, company's expenditures, the com plaint adds that during the second fiscal year of its life, ending May 1, 11)24, the organization's running ex penses totalled nearly $3,000,000, or more than it takes to run the state of North Carolina. This exceeded by $100,000 the first year's tptal of $2,534,959.22, or an average expense of about $7,000 ' per day. Costs for furniture, fixtures and automobiles were $08,803.54 during the first year, according to the com plaint, while in ? the year following this item mounted to over $95,000. An unprecedented increase in sal aries paid to Officers is charged, the niajority of the directors placing them:. elves on the salary list, accord ing to the complaint, at annuql pay of from $40,000 down to $4,000, three and four times what most of them had ever received/ before. "On account of the inefficiency of the management and the reckless waste and extravagance and failure of the directors to comply wlfh the law';" reads the complaint, "the mem bership growers have received so lit tle from their crops delivered to the defendant association that they have become bankiupt and are urtable to continue (heir farming operations un less relieved from further delivery and destruction of their crops by a dissolution of said corporation for the abuse .of its powers to the injury of its -membership stockholders." Further items in the complaint re cite charges of waste and mismanage ment in the purchase, erection and leasing of warehouse facilities, dis bursements for attorneys' fees and newspaper advertising. The plain tiffs finally charge that officers of the association have not made ac counting of their management to the members, as required by law, and thai in some cases the directors, in addi tion to exorbitant salaries, charged exorbitant fees for redrying tobacco delivered by members and mortgaged such tobacco to insure payment of their own claims.
