.MANTEO TO GET
HOUSING PROJECT
ON WATERFRO ONT
Construction to Begin Soon on
Several Modern Homes on
Bliven Property

Plans are in the making for
building of several new residences
south of Manteo on a portion of
the farm often called the Bliven
property. Paul Midget of Manteo
sold eight acres of this land be-
tween the highway and the bay last
week to R. o. Balance, local con-
tractor.
The consideration is reported to
be $4,000. Some five modern
residences are to be erected soon,
for sale. These first houses will
face the highway, and will be in
the $12,500 class, Mr.. Balance said.
The property will admit of a total
of 80 homes to be built on large
lotr, which is the ultimate aim of
the venture.
The Bay front of the property
will be raised in elevation by hy-
draulic dredging, with a canal built
through the center of the property
whereby every home will have a
boat landing at its back door, The
idea is to build two rows of homes
reaching toward the water, and
back to back.
Cost of land and first five houses
is expected to run to 100000, to-
gether with Improvements. Two
paved streets will be added as the
project develops. Associated with
Mr.. Balance in this venture is ].
w. York of Raleigh, a realtor who
promoted the large Cameron Viii
lage development.

At present it is proposed that
