Oklahoma Bond Issue Promoted by State Treasurer Dunlop
State Treasurer Trobert Dunlop sends a circular to eastern bond buyers about a 3 million dollar public building bond issue. He notes legal limits of four million and 271,636 acres of land backing the issue, with 168,254 acres mortgaged for 3,104,380.50 and 103,261 acres to be sold later for at least 2,000,000. He argues the mortgages are safe securities to redeem the bonds and calls the issue one of the best investments for the next fifty years. In Ardmore, a man, F. Ley, was killed by his wife in a dispute.
