story brick building, formerly used for

nection with this matter, President

communication from w. II. Rinehart, a
real estate agent, offering Sl25 per front
foot for % or for 80 feet otfthesouth side
ofthe lot; he stated In his letter that the
reason he had not been heard from sooner
was that he had not learned what was
being done in this matter till last Sat.
urday.
Mr. inehart's proposition was violent
ly jumped on by several members, not
ably Messrs. Arkle and Seeley, who in.
timated that Nj. Rinehart was doing an
underhanded thing. Mr.. Maxwell called
attention to the fact that II was public
property being disposed oil, and that as
large a price as possible should DO OBJ
tanned for II, but that had no effect. A
motion was made 10 dispose Of the prop.
erty To the knights Of ST. George at their
bid, but before that was voted on II was
deemed best 10 refer the matter back TO
the special committee with power 10 act
the understanding being that II would
sell 10 the Knights-as the quietest way
to fix the matter but the First objected
10 this and laid the entire business on

property put. w AZ auction and sold TO
