Olive contractors and builders
four weeks ago.
Meek Home
A. G. Schoeppner, local con-
tractor, started construction on
Monday on the Charles Meek
home in the Bronze Heights area.
Meek will construct a three
bedroom home, with full base
ment. The new home will be of
frame construction, with stone
trim, 26 feet by As feet in size,
plus an additional l4-foot garage.
R. c. Moore Lumber Co. will
supply the materials.
The Meek home is being built
on lot formerly owned by
Isaac Mcdonald. 1t will be
located next to the Dewey Smith
home.
Camden Home
The new w. S. doc" Camden
home, located on the corner of
Belford and Cumberland streets,
is we'll underway with the base
ment portion completed This
new all-stone house is being
built on the village lot formerly
owned by Edw. L. Merry. Crock
& Schafer are the contractors
for this home.
Water Line
Perhaps equally in Importance
is the construction of the new
six-inch water line now being
laid to the newly annexed
section of Olive. Members of the
village maintenance crew, with
the help of the Crock & Schafer
digging equipment, are laying
the line. Merwin Ball, foreman,
is in charge of laying the tran
site pipeline.
Starting Monday morning on
the project, the crew had COM
pleted laying the line to the
Heppner's Soho station by We'd
nesday. Favorable weather con-
ditions have made it possible to
proceed rapidly with its con-
struction. The line will continue
thru Olive, with taps being
inserted for water customers at
various intervals.
This construction is significant
in that the new water line to
Olive will have a tremendous
effect on the new housing
development being planned by
Crock & Schafer. 1t is expected
that with an ample supply of
water now available to the area,
new industrial sites and COM
mercial buildings win be built
in what is considered the most
enterprising section of the
village.
AS an incentive for prospective
homebuilders to consider the
Olive development, the promo
ters are planning to construct
one-acre lake which will be
given to the village to develop
into park area.
Already the one main street
has been identified in the deve-
lopment. Lots have been plated
on each side of the street, 100
feet wide and 100 feet deep.
Crock & Schafer will install
central treatment plant to
dequately care for all the sew
age originating from homes that
will be built in the development.
King Home
Lawrence King announced
today that plans are being con-
sidered to map out an area com
prising of at least seven acres in
and around his stone quarry in
Florence for a housing develop
ment. Mr.. and Mrs. Duane King
are expected to start construc-
tion on their new home in this
area next Monday.
Other New Homes
The Wayne Danford home on
Olive street is rapidly nearing
completion. Ed Nau is the con-
tractor for this home. Crock &
Schafer are furnishing the
materials.
Two new homes that have
been recently completed and are
now occupied by the new owners
are those of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Boyd, of Chautauqua court, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Walton,
COZ ner of Main and Young
streets.
Lahue and Boyd were the con-
tractors for the Boyd home and
Andrew Connell supervised the
construction of the Walton
home. r. c. Moore furnished the
materials for both homes.
Considering the many pending
area construction projects, it
ap. ears very likely that the COM
ing summer months will continue
to reflect one of the most favor
able construction periods in the
