(One of the most controversial Issue In recent Bend city

municipal financing of a fioO-foot water main along Kenwood

In the Kenwood, (iardens area, had been approached by the
tteorge Brice Mortgage Co. of Portland, which desired to build
a low-cost tract in the area.
(In return for the city's promise to build the pipe line and
grade the streets, Hamby agreed to cease negotiations with.
Brice .and begin work on "two nice homes within five days."
The city accepted Hamby's proposal after opponents of tract
housing had denounced tract development as a depressant of
real estate values and a threat to the well-being of the. local
construction business.

By NORM BITTER
Bulletin Staff Writer 1
Carroll D. Pierce, bend realtor,
Wednesday told The Bulletin that
. last week's action by the Bend
city commission effectively kill
ed . any and all plans , by the
Georee ' Brice Mortgage Co. of
Portland to construct a low-costl
housing tract in Bend.
. Pierce said he no longer rep
resents Brice as an agent-to purchase-land
locally for a residen
tial development' because- the
Portland firm has been convinc
ed by the action of the city com
mission "that the city doesn't
want such a project."
Pierce f aid, "It was' a shame
that 'some interests were able to
block a development that finally
would give Bend veterans , of
modest means an opportunity to
purchase comfortable three-bedroom
homes at a minimum down
' payment and pay for them over
a 30-year period."
Pierce said that the proposed
, tract would not have been a ."one
shot, 30-home tract consisting' of
cheap stereotyped structures."
The plan had been to begin with
a few probably eight 'to , 10
homes and add to the tract with
piecemeal construction as war
ranted by the demands for more
homes according to Pierce...
The homes would have been
built to rigid Veterans' Adminis
trations standards, iie said. The
financing plan was to charge
about $350 down payment and
amortize the balances with low
interest, 30-year' loans. No simi
lar financial arrangement is now
available to veterans wishing to
purchase homes of comparable
size and quality in the city,
Pierce added.
' Inquires Made
"When the plans for the .tract
. first bceran to leak, out," Pierce
said, '"veterans began comlntf to
me asking when they couia ouy.
I romDiled a dated waiting list,
which showed the prospective
buyers in order of preference.
"There was no Dlan to build a
' rash of homes without any buy
ers in sight," he said.
Pierce said he regretted he had
not known of Hamby's Intention
to appear before the city com
mission last Wednesday night.;,
"I would have been there to
present the other side had I
known what was coming," Pierce
said. - , ' - -
