ALL OFFERS FOR PROPERTY
OF CHURCH ARE REJECTED
First Congregational Site Not In Mar
ket, but Satisfactory Price
Would Be Considered

OAKLAND, Jan. 10.-Owing to per-
sistent rumor concerning the sale of
the First Congregational Church prop
erty at Twelfth and Clay streets, L. E.
Boardman. secretary of the board of
trustees, said today that all offers made
had been rejected. He declared that,
in all likelihood, no proposition less
than 100000 would be entertained.
Roardman added:
The church property is not on the
market in the sense that the trustees
are seeking a buyer. If an offer were
made commensurate with the trustees
view of values it would be considered.
We do not have to sell and there is
no disposition to do so. The fact that the
Orpheum Company is building a
theater on an adjoining lot is of no
concern to the church, and our trustees
are entirely Indifferent on that sub
ject.
