the sale of this land true tile the committee on oil public lands had not examined the as as anoum have fi iaac lone done belore the a auction on sale was wag announced but it hall hail been because tile they had relied upon the promises of these citizens to bid it up to what it was waa worth lie ho was lit in favor of an all investigation I 1 vesti gation of the matter councilman ol 01 petersen

after sell ing tile land ant at public auction allot lie would take steps to secure the ill title at aliv any cost mayor Il ailles As fir far as I 1 am concerned I 1 would feel justified lit in refuting refusing to to make inake this transfer we do not th claim that thu the price was not large enough or that tire sale was riot not st straight raight but we do claim that through misrepresentations tile council was waa misled and bidding I 1 dib boll upon tile land was not performed according to promise councilman partington Pirt ington it appears to ine DIP that there has been a bargain bar gaii made here antl anil I 1 do not see how we can sneak out of it wo we put up tile land at a auction and it is sold now a third parta steps in ill still and wants to buy tile arav land and and we endeavor to hold the deed and pell fell it again I 1 do not think that would is he be fair by any means In calls councilman langton we ought riot not to le be expected to keep our bargain if alic purchasers do not kee keen theirs they their guaranteed to buy tile the land land at a fair rice and tile they have riot not done so BO now frice think ue e can call honorably honori
