City Spurns Bid To Purchase Property (Continued rrom rage One) sale, all within the city limits, and the county has received bonaflde bias for same, rmiKinK from $60 up to $300 per lot. Under a new state law, the county Is required to give muni clpalltles ao days In which to enter a like bid. which would be accepted In case said cities wish to protect existing liens. This was the first operation of the new law in La Grande. Of the property, only one lot had house thereon, and most of the discussion last night centered around this particular lot. The upshot of the matter, however, was that it was decided that the city would have to be able to realize between $600 and $000 on such property to come out even, and the commissioners felt that the chances of doing so were not so good. The clby alroady has. 50 or 60 lots on Its hands, It was said. Although the city turned down all the property In question last night. It was not regarded by commissioners as setting a precedent, and In the future, votes and Investigations prob ably will mark each case of a similar nature. When the city relinquishes Its right to buy In the property, the county sells. Prom the proceeds state taxes are paid in , full, then . advertis ing and sales costs are deducted, and then county, school district and city share alike In what Is left If any.

BEER PARLOR "QUOTA" HERE IS COMPLETED (Continued From Pago One) Hereafter, if any one wants to set up a beer or light wine parlor In La Grande, their applications to the state liquor commission for licenses muBt go in without city approval.

The two applications approved last night were by Dal Hudspeth, for a beer license, and the Sacajawea Inn, for a wine license. The Sacajawea previously received a beer license, so although ihe wine permit made 11 requests for licenses, the city con sidered it as 10, since two permits were sought by the same place.
