Good afternoon @Kent Gardiner,
The two paragraphs are discussing the prices paid by different individuals for various pieces of land.
Note that the words "Morgen", "Viertel", and "Ruten" are land area measurements, A "Morgen" in the abstract is equivalent to the amount of land one man and one ox could plow in one morning; the actual size of a "Morgen" varied from place to place. "Viertel" = quarter. Ruten = rods.
Translation:
It got the outermost place next to the mill, house building on the street, entrance from the Mühlgasse, 3 quarters, 39 rods Matthaeus Scholl for 484 florins; the second [piece] 3 quarters, 39 rods Bernhard Kemm for 490 florins; the third [piece] 1 Morgen, 2 rods Johann Philipp Kemm, the mayor, for 520 florins; the fourth [piece] 3 quarters, 16 rods pharmacist Steudel for 475 florins, with the condition that a two-story house be built on it.
The garden behind the "Meyereischeuer" was divided into two parts of 1 quarter, 8 and 1/2 rods. Jakob Scholl bid/raised the first half behind the tithing barn for 220 florins, and the other half on the "Weiherwiese" [pond meadow] Johann Zimmermann for 272 florins.

Do Matthaeus Scholl and Jakob Scholl owe money or are they donating money to some cause?
