Owners Discuss Plans
For Development

Last Monday evening, a meeting
of Southsitie property owners was
held at the Elks Club, 1907 S. 7th
Ave-, to discuss plans to re-develop
an area Of IL square blocks be-
tween Grant Park and st. Monica's
Hospital.
Planning Director Corwin r. Mo-
cine asked that three streets in the
district-Maricopa, Tonto and Had
ley, making the area between
Sherman and Yavapai Sts., a nor
NAL 1,200-foot city block. e
The blocks are now only 300 feet
long, each block occupied by six
or seven homes on each side of the
street.
Its our plan to build homes on
the streets that will be closed off, y
Mocine said. "It would create %
new homes in the area"
Under the Planning Depart
ment's program, the middle street,
Tonic, would be built up as a
parkway and cross-walk, contain
ing play areas for children.
The corner lot property owners
who attended the meeting were
equally divided on the proposal,
until after plans had been dis
cussed; then, larger number ap-
peared to be in favor of it, Mr..
Mocine, the planning director, said.
Property owners were asked to
co-operate in selling the lots to
veterans at "a uniform price for
home-building.
Another meeting will be held at
the Elks Home, 1907 S. 7th Ave-,
May II, to discuss the development
of the area bounded by 1st and 7th
Avenues, Sherman and Yavapai
Streets.
