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.

Friday The 13th
Will Be Lucky
For 2 Ball Clubs
When the La Orande High school
Tigers Journey to Elgin Friday, April
J3, it Is bound to be an unlucky day
for one of the two teams. Simply
because right now they ere tied for
the cellar, and whichever one loses
on Friday the 13th, will be in the
league cellar, at least temporarily. Of
course, the day will be a lucky one
for the winner, since It will have
moved up to a tie for second place,
The same day Imbler and Cove will
tangle on the Cove diamond, and it
will be an unlucky day for one of
them, too, because both are now tied
for the league leadership, and which
ever loses will be lni a tie for second
place with the winner of the La
Grande-Elgin game.
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. Whether
the state would grant such licenses
or not remains to be determined
later. Ten places Are sufficient to
supply the local demand, the com
mission believes.
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.

Not so long ago that was good
advice when you purchased a
suit from the bargain counter.
Tho suit looked nice. But once
it rained! Well, then you dis
covered just how expensive a
"hurgain" can he. For that mat
ter, did you ever stop to realize
how expensive most bargains
may be? Take coffee, for exam
ple. Perhaps your wife has
come under the spell of "bar
gain" counter coffee. And
figuratively speaking you're
caught out in the rain every
time you try to drink a cup of
her coffee. Here's a way to have
your economy and quality too.
