Housing Information I
In an effort to give a fuller understanding of what the j
special election on September 2, 1952 is, the MIRROR asked a j
representative of Aleutian Homes, Inc., sponsors of the pro
posed housing project in the east addition, for information. !
The following facts were presented: “Some years ago!
the Bureau of Land Management filed a plat of that area now
known as the “housing site’’, which resembled a checker
board. Streets were laid out going straight up the mountain
side, and cutting through the mountain in places.
“It was an inpractical plat, and one that could not
feasibly ever be made a reality. Since that, date Aleutian
Homes, Inc. has bought most of the land in that area through
the Bureau of Land Management, for the expressed purpose
of building 344 or more homes.
“After engineering the site it was found unfeasible to
proceed with the present planned streets, and the corporation
therefore had new engineering work done and a new plat was
presented to the city which incorporated the ideas of modern
type city planning with contour streets.
“The city now has this plat, and as soon as the voters
vacate the streets as originally set out in the first plat, or in
other words vote “yes”, the city will then immediately file
the new plat and streets will then be again rededicated to the
public.
“This may not seem like a very important election to
most citizens, but it should be pointed out that until the
streets have been rededicated according to the new plat, there
is no chance of the housing project becoming a reality. On the
other hand, if the streets are rededicated the first ground
breaking will take place within one week of the election and
subsequent rededication.”
The cost ot maintaining the physical protection of a Sale Deposit Vault
is out of the question ior individuals. That's why we set aside part of
our vault for our customers use. By dividing that part of the total cost
over many Safe Deposit Boxes the individual rentals are reduced to
a few cents a week.
For this nominal fee box renters share the same vault protection against
fire, burglary and vandalism that we provide for the bank. Ask us to
demonstrate this inexpensive protection service.
