Russell to Investigate Old City Bond Graft
City Treasurer Geo Russell will thoroughly investigate the 1904 Seattle light plant bond sale graft known as Prank Paul graft to recover 5100 for the city. He will confer with the state treasurer to determine who received the money and under what circumstances. The 190,000 bond sale to the state faced early political opposition and a disputed commission to ex Comptroller Frank Paul. The investigation aims to learn if the state kept unearned interest or if funds were misdirected or refunded. Previous efforts to probe the matter have failed to yield results.
