City auction pulls in $94,000

The city of Jamestown raked in close to $94,000 from an auction of accumulated equipment last week — well more than officials anticipated. “This was the first year we felt we had enough to try and hire somebody to try and sell everything,” said Reed Schwartzkopf, city engineer. Schnabel Auction Company of Kulm, N.D., handled the July 28 auction that saw between 150 and 200 people over the course of the three-hour affair at the Civic Center.
