New Addition
Plated For
Home Building

Indicative of the rapid growth
of Browning. and the faith of
local residents in the future de-
vclopment of this area, it is an
nounced this week that a sixty
acre-tract of land Just west of the
town has been plated and will
be put on the market at once for
residential and business purpose
by William F. Norman. rancher
and longtime resident of the
reservation.
The sixty.acre tract has been
laid out in twelve full blocks. and
six half.blocks, and arrangements
have been made to install city
water. sewer connections, and
electric service. To make the adj
dition more attractive as site
for a choice residential district,
the lots are divided into seventy
five feet width, with ample depth
to give plenty of room for
modern, good sized building
sites.
The tract lays just west of the
fair grounds. on Highway No. SO,
and will be conveniently access
IDLE to the business part of
Browning, and will have all the
advantages of the excellent school
system and other advantages of
this fast growing community.
Provision has been made for II
business locations, and lab resi-
dental lots. A county road will
be built along the east boundary,
and the addition will face the
highway on the south. There will
be So corner lots. and as stated,
the lots will have a seventy.foot
frontage. and will be l4O feet in
depth. Two lots in the center of
the addition have been set aside
for playground purposes.
Plans are being worked out to
have the streets graded and the
water and sewer lines laid and
the power and light service in
stalled.
Mrs. Florence Coulter. local
real estate broker, will handle
the sales of the lots. and anyone
interested may inquire at her Of
flee for details as to locations.
prices. etc. Several reservations
for purchase have already been
made, Mrs. Coulter states. and it
Is expected that building opera.
tons will get under way on many
attractive new homes not later
than early next spring.
Residential housing is current.
~ one of the big problems in
Browning, and it is expected that
with this fine addition, this con.
dition will be relieved.
New residential building in
Browning has not kept pace with
the rapid increase in population
during the past few years. and as
result 1t Is almost impossible
for new people coming in to OBJ.
tain suitable living quarters. The
new addition will thus fill! a much.
needed opportunity for cxpan.
sion of the city. and is one of the
most important moves made in
many years to make Browning
an attractive place in which to
live.
