His offer, along with his arguments, won at least two adherents but also marked the objection of at least three councilmen, the city attorney and the mayor. After long discussion, the official action was to table any action on Marshall's offer.

The motion to table "to give the council time to study" WAS made by Councilman Curt Skancke, was seconded by Floyd Graham, and received a unanimous vote.

In view of those appraised values, he claimed his house worth more than the $8,500 price tag set on it by the realtor board. His strong arguments won adherents namely Skancke and Graham, H.F.

Rickets, city attorney, stated appraisal was "advisory" and the council was not prevented by law from making another settlement. Said Mayor Martin baus, "We hired them (the praisal board) for their expert advice and we bad better take that advice. If we change our minds on one then we leave a wedge for the rest of them (the property holders in the block).
