35 Additional Houses To Be In South Park
Approval for the construction of twenty-eight new houses has been received
and actual work slated to start April 20th according to Dewey Collins who
has the general contract for the building. These houses are to be
built on Hollywood and Miami Streets and are being built by the Brady real
estate firm of Sheffield and Cobb. In addition to above houses the
same firm announced this week they will also build thirty-five houses in
the south park addition, on what is known as the Gilliam-Lewallen property.
These houses are to be built of concrete tile, hardwood floors and will
be five and six rooms in size. Present plans are to offer them to
veterans at a low down payment of from $100 to $150, and monthly payments
ranging from $30 to $35 per month. Blue prints and specifications
of the first twenty-eight houses are now in the hands of Contractor Collins
and subcontractor W. L. Jones. (Coleman
