HOXIE — In a relatively short meeting Monday, it took the vote of Mayor Dennis Coggins to break a tie on a proposal to sell about an acre of city-owned land.

The council deadlocked 3-3 in a special meeting, on the proposal to sell the 1.25-acre plot of land, along Highway 63B south of Ma and Pa’s Flea Market, to Adam Pratt for $20,000. kAm!C2EE D2:5 H9:=6 96 H2D F?56C 2 ?@?\5:D4=@DFC6 28C66>6?E 7@C 2 A@DD:3=6 AC@;64E @?
