First, Rockefeller offered to buy the 12 acres of land in downtown Brooklyn which O'Malley wants for a new ball park, for two million dollars.

Since condemnation proceedings would require about eight million dollars, the City Council rejected the offer on the basis that it wasn'tt getting enough money. Then. Rockefeller upped the offer to three million dollars. Even before Wagner had a chance to present the plan to the Council Malley turned thumbs down. He pointed out that the contract permitted the Dodgers to buy the land after using it rent-free for 20 years.

But. at 2V4 per cent interest to Rockefeller, it would cost him 4V4 million dollars. This, he said, priced him out of the negotiations. If the city bad sold the land to Rockefeller for two million dollars it would cost two million dollars, it would cost O'Malley only about three million dollars when the 20 years were up. In addition, O'Malley would have to pay all real estate taxes and assessments while using the land.

Wagner gloomily admitted that there was no chance of the city going after Rockefellers two mil lion dollar plan even though the Council never held a formal vote on it.

Wit the rejection bv Dodger President Walter O'Malley of a new offer by multimillionaire Nelson Rockefeller, the path to Los Angeles once strewn with pitfalls was all hut cleared. Rockefeller, himself, refused to give tip hope of holding the Dodgers In Brooklyn.

"An unusual combination of circumstances still could keep the team in Brooklyn, he said. But while an impasse developed here, Los Angeles officials gleefully went ahead with plans to welcome the Brooks. Conferences were being held with Dodger off! rials there and contracts were being drawn up to be presented to OMalley. A Los Angeles dly attorney sounded a note of caution, how ever, pointing out that everything still was in the oral st8ge. "It should be understood that the transatlon, this point, is not a final commitment to the Dodgers or to the city.

he said. Meanwhile, city officials here especially Mayor Robert Wagner found their hands tied. After OMalley rejected Rockefellers latest offer yesterday, Wagner did not even call a meeting of the City Council to draw up a new plan. He merely said he'd report to the individual members.
