CITY HALL PROPERTY?
Governor Miller Will Re-
quest That Action be
Deferred Until October
BIDS FOR SALE TO
BE OPENED TONIGHT

While Il is not known what ac-
tion City Council will take al It's
meeting tonight on the proposed sale
of the old city hall property. in view
Of the increasing opposition to sell
ing the building at this time, the body
will probably open any bids received
in accordance with the advertise
ments for such bids Bids have been
asked for an the former city buildings
at Sixth and King streets and the
city hall proper No bids had been
received this morning. but that is not
an indication that none will be made
on the property. IL was said. Bidders
may be waiting until late today. or
the bids may be handed 10 Clerk of
Council just prior to the meeting to-
night
Even If bids are received and open
ed that does not necessarily mean
that the property is TO be sold at
once. IL Is pointed out The finance
| committee was given authority 10 ad-
vertiso, but following the usual GUS
] tom the right to reject any or all
/ ing in the resolution authorizing the
sale that would compel immediate
action. So even II a satisfactory bid
is received It would not be compulsory
upon City Council to accept II i'm
| mediately.
Much interest is centered in the pro-
test against any hasty action which
Governor Charles K Miller will make
on the floor OF Council chamber to-
night on behalf of the newly organ
lied Old Town Hail Association. The
plan as outlined hv the association. is
TO have COUNCIL defer any final action
on the sale until October J. and IN the
meatime the association will endeavOr
to devise a means by which the old
building can be presei we'd as a his
toric structure.
There seems 10 be a disposition on
the part Of some Of ihe members Of
Council to sell the property by az
means. II is pointed out by these
men that the city can realize S200. 900
or more from It's sale and they argue
that that sum Is entirely too much
