The First National Bank of
Portland today purchased the
$2,000,000 Portland Meadows
horse racing plant at a sheriff's
sale on the Multnomah county
courthouse steps.
The bank's bid of $476,092.87
was the only offer received by
Sheriff Terry Schrunk and his
deputies when the hammer
banged.
Physical properties of the
plant were sold as result of the
bank's foreclosure of a $428,000
mortgage.
Kyne To Confer
William P. Kyne, San Francis
co, original organizer and oper
ator of the Portland Meadows,
said he will confer with bank
officials later today in an at
tempt to regain control of the
track on a lease basis. However,
he said there may be other rac
ing interests who also will seek
to lease the track.
"I am pretty sure Portland
Meadows will have a spring op
ening," Kyne said, "whether we
get it or not. I have lots of faith
in Portland Meadows, particu
larly if the tax situation can be
remedied. ...
"The bank may get a better
offer than mine, but we have a
chance."
