Bandon Has Had Year
. ,
of Much Improvement
WITH tho work drtno by tho
port commission, 3io gov
ernment Improvement of
tho entrance of tho Coqulllo river,
tho new building and tho public im
provements mailo by tho city nnd
tho school board, tho figures for tho
past year show large Hums expend
ed In mid around llandon. Tho to
tal of thesu Improvements will
reach a uuartor of a million dollars.
Ntroot Work Donu
Tho street work done by llandon
totals 149.000 for tho year nnd tho
various projects carried out wore nB
follows:
First street paving 22,000
Oregon nvonuo and planking i),000
Ocean Drlvo and Fourth,
rock pavement . , fi.000
Jackson avenue, grading
First to Thirteenth 5,000
llaltlmoru avenue, eroding
First to Thirteenth 7,000
Tothl street -work M'J.000
Tho city also expondpd $15,000
on sower work and $3,000 on im
provement on tho water works. Re
cently $-10,000 wator bonds warn
sold and also $40,000 redemption
bonds to tako up warrants.
Sw llulldiuitM Brocted
Three now business blocks have
beou built In llandon during the
year and they are of a substantial
kind which glveB tho business sec
tion of the city an entirely new and
different appearance. The largest
of these- is the II, 11 block which Is
not yet nulto completed. The own
ers are Ulggs and Ilucklnghum and
tho work Is bolng done by Johnson,
Payne and Larson. Thero uro four
storo rooms downstairs and 3 (J of
fice roopis on the second floor.
These are to bo finished as they are
ronted to fault the tonauts. Tho
building entirely completed will iop
resent an ezpoudltuio of about
$ac,000. Tho structure Is of rein
forced cqnerote and tho finishing Is
of the flUPSt, Thero is some beaut
iful docoratlvo work about tho build
ing and it Is claimed that It Is as
well constructed a building as there
Is In southorn Oregon. Tho con
tractors huvo received much pralso
for their work. One of tho firm,
John Johnson, Is from Murshflold
ami has douo a good deul of build
lug In the county. Associated with
him Is .Mr. Larson and M AV. Payne,
the latter having had Jong export-
unco In the construction ' of largo
buildings In tho east and In Los An
Holes. Tho block Is certainly n credit to
any city nnd Its erection marks a
new epoch In building for llandon.
Other Structure
Another busluesi structure which
has been completed Is tho one built
by ('apt. Johnson of the Coast Guard
station. This is on tho mnln street
of the city and replaced tho frnmo
building which was burned down
during tho big fire. It cost $7,000
nnd tho lower floor is rented to tho
Golden Ilulo store.
Paul Bteffens, the baker, has con
ploted a concrete building which is
called tho Dnkery block. The build
ing Itself cost about $0,000 but with
tho bakery eqiilpmont which Is ono
of tho most modorn In this part of
tho stute, tho total cost will reach
uloso to $10,000.
School Impmvcaucnts
Tho llandon school board has un
dertaken quite u largo improvement.
Tho second story of tho Eastsldo
school Is being finished. When the
building was constructed this part
was left unfinished to be put to use
Inter on when it might bo needed. j
Tlilat Umo has now arrived nnd
olght rooms will bo finished. The
cost will be $14,000, During tno
enr a now superintendent, L, "
Turnball was employed, The city
has two school buildings and In nil
twenty-four teachors. Tho school
board Is composed of Mrs, L Jl.
Kausroud, A. Jones and Dr. L. P,
Soronson.
The Bandon schools have always
been of a high staudard and the
Improvements which have been and
aro being made will bring tho edu
cational advantages of the city up
to an oven hotter basis than over
before.
t NEW P0ST0FFICE AT I
1 MYRTLE POINT IS t
J BEING COMPLETED t
$$
ONH of tho most important im
provements at Myrtlo Point
during tho year was the
building of tho now postofflco which
Is being completed. This is locnted
Just behind t)io Guorin hotel. Tho
building was erected by E. J. Sny
der especially for tho post office.
It la a neat frnmo building and will
be equipped in a modorn way.
Tho building on tho corner oppo
site tho hotel whero tho postofflco
tins been located for some tlmo past
is being remodeled by tho owners,
J. W. Uennett nnd R. B. Shlno, and
will bo occupied by tho Myrtle Point
Hardware Company.
There has not boon much public
work at Myrtle Point during the
past ear as much was douo tho
jenr beforo but It is likely that thero
will bo a good deal to do during tho
coming car.
Boino Important rond work has
been douo In tho Myrtlo Point
neighborhood.
On the highway lending south
from tho city two miles of water
bound road rock was built. This
makes a fine highway and Is one
which Is trnvoled a good deal as It
leads to both tho middle, fork nnd
tho south fork countries.
On tho road extending to Coqulllo
n mile and a half of tho highway,
was newly gravoled. This was also
un Important Improvement ns tho
rond Is used a great deal by auto
travel.
In fact tho road botwoen Myrtlo
Point and Coqulllo is one of the best
Btretches of highway In tho county
and autos can run between the two
places for n longer benson than per
haps any othor part of tho country
roads.
