Hotel Warren, bujlt around
1920, and operated by the town
since that time, was on Mon
day sold to Howard F. Oakley
of Raleigh at a public sale at
the court house door.
The purchase price was
$32,000, and was a restrictive
sale in that the buyer agreed to

$31,000 for the property.
The board of town commis
sioners met in called session
at 2 p. m. Monday and approv
ed the sale, and the hotel is now
being operated by Mr. and Mrs.
I Oakley.
The commissioners also met
in called meeting at 9 a. m.

plant, and its own hotel. With
