Price Fix Bill for Sheridan County Abstracts Favored
A Sheridan county abstract price bill drew sharp debate in the house as supporters urged its aim to cap abstracting fees after county records burned. Opponents warned it would infringe private property rights and harm a local abstracter, W. S. Quisenberry, who held the county’s only surviving abstracts. The bill proposed a $1 certificate fee, $1 for the first transfer, and 25 cents for each subsequent transfer, with penalties on noncompliant abstract book owners. critics argued the measure overreached and risked constitutional rights. The Pansy Wee race was briefly noted as having been carried by an overwhelming vote.
