Shawnee County Court House Bonds Deal Sparks Controversy
County bonds sold to the state school fund via intermediary A B Quinton yielded a $1750 middleman profit instead of the expected $750. For a $25,000 4 percent issue dated May 1894, three coupons per bond were due and the matured coupons were detached after sale, costing the county $1000 in interest. County commissioners face criticism for not selling the bonds themselves and for not detaching coupons before transfer.
