Stockyard Bids
Lancaster Livestock Ex
change’s bid of $853,331 for the 28-
acre Union Stockyards property
in Lancaster was high bid of two
submitted, and it is now up to
Penn Central to decide if it will
accept the bid.
A spokesman for the bankrupt
railroad said a decision on
whether to accept the bid will be
made on Wednesday.
If the bid is accepted, the
Exchange will be aided in the
transaction by the Lancaster
Industrial Development
Authority, which is prepared to
acquire the property from Penn
Central within 30 days after the
court approves the transaction,
Richard J. Blakinger, solicitor
for the authority, said Wed
nesday
Blakinger said the authority
plans to acquire title to the stock
yards from the railroad and then
sell the property to the Lancaster
Livestock Exchange under a 20-
year installment-sale agreement.
Blakinger said the authority
would borrow the money for the
purchase from the National
Central Bank.
He explained that banks are
able to make loans to industrial
development authorities because
the interest they receive for this
purpose is tax-free As a result,
banks charge industrial
development authorities a lower
than-normal interest rate
The only other bid submitted on
the 28 acres was $660,000, made
by Union Stock Yard Co Four
bids were received on a five-acre
undeveloped tract lying north of
Marshall Avenue and backing the
Lancaster Catholic High School
stadium This five acres is a part
of the 28-acre parcel
The Lancaster Exchange also
submitted a separate bid of
$803,331 on the stockyards tract
excluding this five acres.
Bids were opened Tuesday
morning in the Penn Central
offices in the 30th Street Station
in Philadelphia.
Lancaster Livestock Exchange
is a group of seven livestock
brokerage firms. Its president,
William G. McCoy, said if its bid
is approved by Penn Central the

JUST bolt on another bottom to expand your 2000
Series Allis-Chalmers Mono frame plow. No need to
buy another plow -when you buy a bigger tractor.
And that’s just one of the many fine features of these
rugged semi-mounted plows. There are^ no cross
braces to get m your way when you want xo adjust a
coulter or change a plow blade. The frame is clean
and wide-open so you can walk right up to any point
on the plow.
Plus, you have a choice of shear bolt, spring trip or
hydraulic reset stub beams and a complete selection
of coulters and bottoms to match soil conditions.
' These Monoframe plows come in a 4-bottom size
that can be expanded to 5, and a 5-bottom size that
can be expanded to 6. Come and take a look at them.
You’ll see why Going Orange is Going Great.
