He spent considerable time In developing ptaus for homes that would be highly livable and yet would fit Into a harmonious com bination. Due of the advantages of buying a home in Cloverdale Park is that all the homes In the development are new there are no old dwellings or tihacks. This will keep the value of the properties from decreasing rapidly. Various styles of roofs, gables, doorways, windows and exterior fin ishes are offered. Some have over hanging eaves, some trellises, some shutters, some siding, some shakes and many other architectural varia lUona, their home should be built will find one to suit their taste. Quite a few of tbe residences were sold before completion and several are already occupied.

CLOVERDALE HOMES COST ABOUT $2,000.00 LESS THAN COMPARABLE NORTHWEST HOMES A survey of home building costs in the Northwest has shown that the new Cloverdale residences cost about $2,000 less than similar homes in this area. Multiple construction, large purchases of materials and methods learned through extensive experience, has made i possible for the builders to erect a better home for less money. Where Cloverdale Park homes sell for $7,890.00 and up equally well constructed houses of the same size would cost about $10,000 to $12,000 here In Roseburg. In Port land it is estimated that the cost would run even higher. An example of how mass pur chases can save money ia 'demon Paved Streets. Restrictions For Cloverdale Park Before the Cloverdale Develop ment is completed all the streets will be paved with genuine plant mix paving as will be all driveways. The streets as well as sewer and water connections will be paid for by the builders. V All grading will be completed and lawns wilt be planted with grass so the occupants won't be smothered with dust as Js so often the case when new homes are constructed. It is believed that the type of per sons who will be attracted to Clo- tveniale Park will plant beautiful gardens and spend considerable time fixing up their yards. Deed Restrictions Regulations to keep factories and businesses out of the area are en forced by deed restrictions as are limits or the kinds of animals that may be kept.
