U radu autor na temelju arhivskih izvora analizira proces likvidacije Dioničarskoga društva Lonjskopoljske željeznice te podržavljenje pruga u njegovu vlasništvu nakon završetka Prvoga svjetskog rata. Poslije raspada Austro-Ugarske Monarhije sjedište Dioničarskoga društva premješta se iz Budimpešte u Zagreb. Pruge Društva bile su Dugo Selo – Novska i Banova Jaruga – Pakrac. Stvaranjem Države Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba potpale su pod nadležnost novoosnovanoga Generalnog ravnateljstva željeznica Države Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba u Zagrebu, a stvaranjem Kraljevstva Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca pod nadležnost novoosnovane Direkcije državnih željeznica Zagreb. Poslije dugogodišnjih pregovora Kraljevina Jugoslavija zaključila je 7. veljače 1931. sporazum o otkupu s grupom od 24 mađarska dioničarska društva vicinalnih željeznica, udruženih u koncern "Pruga d.d." sa sjedištem u Zagrebu. Među njima je bila i Lonjskopoljska vicinalna željeznica. Time je i prestao razlog njezina postojanja. Na temelju navedenog Kraljevski sudbeni stol kao trgovački sud u Zagrebu upisao je 6. lipnja 1932. u svoj trgovački registar likvidaciju Dioničarskoga društva Lonjskopoljske željeznice. Kada je uslijed dovršene likvidacije Društvo prestalo s radom, Okružni sud u Zagrebu kao trgovački sud brisao ga je 12. travnja 1933. iz svojega trgovačkog registra. Država je uknjižila pravo vlasništva nad nekretninama Lonjskopoljske vicinalne željeznice tek 1936., a kompletna regulacija imovinsko-pravnih odnosa na nekretninama Lonjskopoljske željeznice završila je tek 1951.
This paper deals with the structure, activity, and liquidation of the Danube-Sava Vicinal Railway Stock Company during the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes/Yugoslavia. The company, founded in 1912, was based in Budapest and constructed the following railway lines: Vukovar-Ilača and Šid-Sremska Rača-Sava. These private railway lines were exploited by the state. The stock company was solvent. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the company's headquarters moved from Budapest to Zagreb. Shortly after the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovens/Yugoslavia, the railway lines were exploited by the Directorate of State Railways in Zagreb, but after 1921 they came under the jurisdiction of the Directorate of State Railways in Belgrade. According to the Agreement of February 7, 1931, the state redeemed the railway lines of the abovementioned company and thus the company ceased to exist. The company went into liquidation in 1932 and was shut down on April 12, 1933.
U radu autor na temelju arhivskih izvora, a s aspekta povijesti institucija, obrađuje ustroj i djelovanje Dioničarskoga društva Lonjskopoljske željeznice u periodu Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Sjedište Društva, kao i većine vicinalnih željeznica, bilo je u Budimpešti. Poslove Dioničarskoga društva obavljali su glavna skupština dioničara, ravnateljstvo i nadzorni odbor. Pruge Društva bile su sljedeće: Dugo Selo – Novska i Banova Jaruga – Pakrac. Te privatne pruge bile su u državnoj eksploataciji, odnosno upravi. U Austro-Ugarskoj Monarhiji pruge Društva potpadale su pod nadležnost Poslovne uprave Kraljevskih ugarskih državnih željeznica u Zagrebu. Društvo je poslovalo s financijskim dobitkom.
U članku se daje prilog poznavanju povijesti Balkanske banke d.d. Zagreb od njezina osnutka (1922.) pa sve do formalnoga završetka njezine likvidacije (1948.). Poslovanje banke razvijalo se je u početku izuzetno povoljno. U kolovozu 1922. predsjednik banke Dušan Plavšić pozvan je na dužnost pomoćnika ministra financija. Kako je vlada kojoj je Plavšić pripadao u prosincu 1922. dala ostavku, uslijed tadašnjih političkih prilika nastala je novinska kampanja koja je bila uperena i protiv Balkanske banke. Time je taj slučaj dobio i čisto političku konotaciju. Tada je počela propast Balkanske banke. Kontinuiranim napadima novoga ministra financija, radikala Milana Stojadinovića, na Dušana Plavšića, novinskom kampanjom protiv Plavšića i Balkanske banke te katastrofalno izvedenim devizno-čekovnim transakcijama, cjelokupno poslovanje Balkanske banke došlo je u vrlo tešku financijsku situaciju. Krajem 1924. banci je odobrena prinudna nagodba. Na temelju te nagodbe banka je na svojoj izvanrednoj glavnoj skupštini 1925. zaključila likvidaciju. Banka je pravno postojala sve do 1948., kada je nakon praktično formalizirane likvidacije brisana iz trgovačkoga registra Okružnoga suda za grad Zagreb. ; The paper presents research results of the structure, business and liquidation of the Balkan Bank Ltd. in Zagreb from 1922 when it was founded, 1925 when it entered the liquidation process, until 1948 when its liquidation was formally finished. The bank had a branch in Belgrade. The bank's business had at first developed favourably, however, in August 1922 its president Dušan Plavšić took over the duty of the assistant finance minister. Since the government to which Plavšić belonged resigned in December 1922, a campaign in the press began due to political circumstances of that time and it was also aimed at the Balkan Bank. This gave the entire case a purely political connotation i.e. the bank's founders and managers were members of the Democratic Party, hence, Dušan Plavšić as its president was one of the prominent Party members. On the other hand, the next government was formed by Nikola Pašić and his Radicals and one of the latter, Milan Stojadinović, became a new finance minister. Plavšić's criticism of Stojadinović's financial policy caused his fall into Stojadinović's disfavour. After taking over his new duty Stojadinović continually attacked Dušan Plavšić. The campaign in the press had severe consequences for the bank. The alarming news about the bank's inability to pay its obligations caused its investors to withdraw their money. Within several months the bank had to return from the current accounts circa 20.000,00 dinars to various creditors, mostly other banks. This demand compelled the bank's management to take drastic measures, since these demands put the entire business of the bank into a very difficult situation. The bank had to accelerate the turnover of its funds as much as possible, which could mostly be achieved in foreign exchange turnover. The bank went rather naïvely and precipitously into the badly executed transactions involving foreign currency cheques, which proved disastrous. Namely, the bank forced selling of the dollar cheques, securing them in foreign currency. However, even though the bank bought large foreign currency funds in cash from various financial institutes in Zagreb and Belgrade in order to secure the sold cheques, the institutes did not produce the bought funds in time. Hence, not having enough funds at its disposal the bank was unable to secure its issued cheques. This forced the bank to cease its activities concerning foreign currency. Naturally, the press denounced the bank for selling bounced cheques. Just when it was thought that things cannot get worse, the Ministry of Traffic revoked the concession of the construction firm of the Graduated Engineer Nikola Plavšić for constructing the Vardište-Šargan railway, which was financed by the bank as a partner. The ensuing court battle did not enable the bank to regain even half of its invested funds, which took away its last hope to acquire larger financial funds. Its management had no alternative but to request the opening of the proceedings of agreement with creditors. The latter was adopted on 23 October 1924 and the decision of the Judicial Table as the agreement court in this issue was proclaimed on 10 November 1924. The agreement became final on 10 March 1925. Based on that agreement the Balkan Bank should have concluded its liquidation. The Extraordinary General Assembly on 18 April 1925 unanimously accepted the conclusion on the bank's liquidation. The bank legally existed until 1948 when after its liquidation was formalised in practice it was deleted from the commercial register of the County Court in Zagreb.
