Davis Sons, Publishers s The transaction stalled out nearly two weeks ago when the Board of Commissioners balked at paying $5,000 for nearly five acres of land it thought would be required. Corbett squelched reports that ] he no longer was willing to sell. On Wednesday he reported that his of fer, made to the town ov'er two months ago, still stood. He would sell four acres of land for $4,000; or he would sell a tract of nearly five acres for $5,000. Asked if he had attended any of the meetings of the Town Board at which the purchase of his land was discussed, Corbett said Wed nesday that he had not attended nor had any official of the town contacted him concerning the sale of his land during the past two months. • Negotiations to purchase Cor bett’s land have been going on for nearly five months. On June 26, ar rangements for the purchase were reported complete and Attorney House was directed to draw the deed. Attorney House reported yester day morning that a deed transfer ing the original four-acre tract to the Town of Zebulon had been drawn up and submitted to the , Town of Zebulon early in Septem- L ber. Included with the deed was a declaration of withdrawal to be signed by property owners to do away with the proposed street. In addition to this, he said, he had drawn a deed transferring the land from the Town of Zebulon to the State of North Carolina which had been dated September 15. The Board of Commissioners also knew of this deed, he said, and he was told to keep the papers in his office in Raleigh. A minor change in the wording of the original deed, to comply with a request made by the at torney representing the State of North Carolina, would be made yesterday, Mr. House said, and he planned to deliver all the papers to the Town of Zebulon late Thurs day afternoon. Three commissioners contacted Wednesday afternoon reported they were in favor of immediate purchase of the land irom Cor bett and would vote to purchase five acres for $5,0000, if it were ne cessary. Commissioner Philip Massey said that he hoped the town could save the SI,OOO necessary to purchase the additional land, but that he felt the need for the armory was so great that the additional SI,OOO should not stand in the way of the land purchase. Commissioners Howard Beck and J. Raleigh Alford both ex pressed their desire for the Town of Zebulon to complete the trans action immediately rather than risk missing the armory.
