After the story, calls were received by the Tax Office, the District Attorney's Office, Judge Arnold'soff Ice, and the County Auditor's office. One caller was reported to have asked If the lot sale was being "hidden under a blanket, If so, I want to get under that blanket." Judge Arnold said Wednesday that Exllne and Montgomery talked to him long ago about buying the lots. Me said he thought Girouard talked to Comr. Brown about the same matter. The judge said one of the trio talked to Steen about them, As a result of this, Judge Arnold said, he received a letter from Steen last April 20, which stated that the City of Quintana was an abandoned municipal corporation.

He said he Interpreted a Texas Attorney General's Office opinion to mean the judge could be authorized by the Court to sell the lots. Steen conducts Sheriff's Office delinquent tax sales ol property In this county. He said that $5 was an acceptable price for any of the lots but not less than $5. Wednesday The Facts called Steen In Austin, and was told that the only time the 11 lots put up for tax sale was In 1894-95 when the City of Quln- twia acquired them, He said he had not put the lots up for sale In any tax sales he has held here, The lots were sold to the City of ulntana because no one else bought them, and they have now come under county control, he said, The county can sell the lots and divide the proceeds between the county and school district, he said. He said the reason he said the lots should not sell for less than $5 was because that was the opening bid on them at the early day tax sale.

That was the value placed on them, he said, but al a sheriff's sale, an opening bid of any amount can be set. The judge can sell them to anyone who offers $5 or more for them, said Steen. He said Montgomery and Exline had contacted him about the lots, but Girouard had noj. A Facts source with knowledge of beach-area real estate said that sales were too few In Quintana to establish a firm value on lots there. The opinion of this source, however, was that open-to-the- publlc bidding would probably have resulted in substantially higher bids.

Some of the lots appeared to be In a position to be of use now, The Facts was told. In a check of the Tax Office book, a Facts reporter could find no listing for Lot 4, Block 41, which according to the ulntana map Is on Fuller Street between Fourth and Fifth, The other 10 lots are listed.
