Moscow Man Talks.
Mr.. S. R. H. MCGOWAN, the we'll
known abstractor of Moscow, was in
terviewed today on the paving ques-
tion, by representative of The Star
and in substance stated as fol-
lows:
81 am a strong advocate for paw
ing: 1t helps the sale of property
greatly, creates demand for property
that prior to the improvement could be
classed as unstable. AS an illus
tration, myself and Charles w. Shields
owned a lot on Almon street in 1913
that we could not dispose of. The
street was unpaved at the time and
purchasers were not seeking property
in that locality After the paving and
curbing were constructed, we began
to receive inquiries from prospective |
who were attacted by the
improved appearance of the neighbor /
hood and as a result we sold the lot
1t an excellent profit, and in addition
hereto, the purchasers assumed OBJ
igation for payment of the paving
md street improvement. Moscow
should pave, especially the street
eading to the university, and the
,eople should vote solidly giving the
ouncil and city administration the
to create paving districts
rom time to time, as. the property
wners in the respective locations Pc
ition them. My experience is there
5 always strong demand for i'm
roved property, and the best way for
1oscow to increase its growth and
evelopment is to pave the streets"
