MUST HAVE SPUR USE
Eact Long in Dispute Is
Necessary to Firm.

For the retail price of 81 Marion
County will turn over the one-sev-
enth-acre tract Of land on the south
grounds of the old county workhouse,
Twenty-First st. and Northwestern
Ave-, to Fairbanks, Morse and Com
pany, a scale and engine manufac-
turing firm,
AT least that Is the conclusion Cas-
sius l.. Hogle, member Of the county
board Of commissioners, has reached.
For three years the Fairbanks, Morse
firm, whose main plant Is across the
street from the site, has desired to
develop the ground, but has succeed
ed only in purchasing the workhouse
section for $150,O00.
Though the company contends 1t
bought the one-seventh acre, along
with the rest, the county has denied
that the smaller tract was included
in the purchase.
Hogle, however, attaches a string
to the proposed deal, namely, that
the county must have use of the
railroad spur track situated on this
one-seventh-acre tract.
Need Railroad
The manufacturing concern would
have little use for the ground with
out railroad facilities. Hogle said
the commissioners favor sale of the
spur section and that the county
council also is in favor of it.
The transaction must be entirely
legal or Hogle will not touch it
Neither will any other members OF
the council or commissioners, until
they know there will be no slip
ups" in the legality of the deals.
1.-THE tract will be sold to the com
lpany for 81, provided that the
county has use Of the railroad spur
Hogle said.
Can Select Best One
IF there are other bidders for the
site, we have the right to select the
highest and best bidder" he said.
'In our estimation the Fairbanks
Company will be the best bidder be-
cause it is a local company, by in.

in fixing prices that are low and rea-

all times from which customers may
select pur ,hases. He handles new
