the highest sealed bid by ten per cent on the first $5,000.00 and by five per
cent of the amount of said highest sealed bid on amounts in excess of $5,000.00
and not more than $10,000.00. After an opening oral bid has been made, which
com~lles with the above requirements, any person may raise said oral bid with-
out regard for the above percentages, providing that the City Council shall
disregard any bid which does not exceed the highest bid theretofore made by
at least one per cent of such highest bid. The successful oral bidder must
deliver to the Clerk of the Council at said meeting and immediately following
the declaration of sale, a written statement of his bid signed by the bidder
together with ten per cent of the amount of his bid in cash or by cashier's
or certified check. Failure to deposit such written statement of bid or said
ten per cent of the bid price may be considered a withdrawal of the bid and
the Council may declare such withdrawal if it so desires.
Upon the recommendation of the City Manager submitted in writing, the
Council may determine that the property being offered for sale can have real
value only to a certain owner or owners of adjoining property and could be
used by other persons only for the purpose of nuisance value to such adjoin-
ing or abutting land owners. In event they ma~e such determination, the same,
with the reasons therefor, shall be entered in full on the Council Minutes.

ments in this Section provided for."
