Edgartown selectmen this week voted to accept two bids for town-owned lots put up for public auction by the town last month. One lot on 14th street south in Ocean Heights was sold to Carol A. Cox for $21,095. Another on Weeks Lane sold for $18,200 to Chris and Donna Kenny. The new owners are both abutters to their new properties. Selectmen rejected bids for 26 other properties because they came in under the assessed value.
