Report of Street Committee on WiC
ening Of Oak ST.
McCarthys will sell their property
lot one, block 80, Neeves Addition
which is 31x5O ft. for $5,OO0.OO We
consider this property worth about
| $35000.00, but would recommend payin
them 100000 for it, if it can be
purchased at that price, in order tC
avoid litigation
Geo. w. Baker offers to sell US 20
feet of the south part Of lot 2, block
30, and 20 feet off of the south part
of lot 8, block Is, Neeves Addition
each Of these lots having a frontage
| of so it. on Oak St., for $4,000. 90
and We are to give in addition to this
the lift of the Mccarthy lot, which
will be left after using 20 it. of it
| for the street MT. Baker claims that
the land we want from him is worth
| $3.50 per square foot or $3600 90 and
| that it will cost him $120000 to make
such alterations and moving as will
be necessary to place his buildings in
as good shape as they now are, this
makes a total of $4,8OO.OO. He figure
that the II ft. of the Mccarthy lot
is worth $4,000 to him, leaving So.
10000 to be what he really should
have, but would take $3O00.00
We base our value of the property
we would take from Mr.. Baker as
| follows:
Lot No. 2 is go ft. on Oak ST. by
81 it. short length and 55 it. long len
9Th, this lot we think equals about
half of a lot IN length. A full lot
100 ft. in length would be worth $40
front foot, while lot only half in
length would be worth $35 a front
foot, or $2100.00 value of this lot,
and we take for the street 20 it. or
about half of the lot, which is worth
$1O50.OO.
Lot No. 3 is 60 it. on Oak St., by
So ft. short length and 88 TT. long
length, this lot equals about 4-5ths of
a full lot in length, this lot if 100
#. in length would be worth $50 a
tn should be worth $48 a front foot
or $3.50. 90 and we take for the street
20 f. or about IA of the lot which is
worth $4,000
This makes value of the land we
take from both lots $1770 while we
give him 11x5O it. of the Mccarthy
lot, which he values at $4,000, this
leaves him $4,000, to which should
be added the cost to him of moving
and replacing the buildings in as
good a condition as they now are.
This we estimate will cost about $70C
making a total we should pay him,
of $1370.00.
You will note that we have not tax
en- into consideration any of the be-
nefits that the widening of Oak ST..
will be to the Baker property.
The value we place on lots and 3
we base on what property can be
purchased, that is situated directly a
cross the street on Oak st. Taylor
& Scott have 118 it. facing Oak ST.,
which is 100 ft. deep, this they are
offering for $50 a front foot. These
lots we consider of more value at
the present time than those belong
ing to Mr.. Baker located on the 9th
er side of the street.
Mrs. Cooney's lot is lot 4, block
us proposition for the 20 it. we
will need off of her property.
Mrs. Cooney's lot is lot 4, bolck
| Is, Neeves Addition, so it. on Oak
ST., and SO #. short length and 100
long length A full lot 100 ft. in leng
tn we figure is worth $50 per front
foot as this is about 9-10ths of lot
in length we consider it worth S54
per front ft. or $3240O0 and as We
take 20 it. or 2-9ths of the lot, what
we take would be worth $4,000, tC
this should be added what it will cost
to move back the house and place il
in as good condition as it now is
which We estimate at 100000 making
a total of 100000. We have not al
tempted to fix the benefits that the
widening of Oak ST will be to Mrs
Cooney's property.
