City Leases Property ' For 4 Veteran Village' y The Salem veterans housing authority Wednesday completed ' a lease with Otto Klett for approximately 20 acres of ground on South 16th street as the location for 120 housing units to be brought here from Portland. Sixty units will be made available to veterans attending Willamette university, many of whom have families. The others will be for veterans in general. Boundaries of the tract are Hines street on t"n north, 16th on the west, Wilbur on the south and 19th on the east. Mr. Klett reserves a strip half a' block wide between 16th and 19th adjacent to the American Can company property. The housing units, to be transferred as soon as the ground is put into shape, com prise 30 buildings, four housing unirs to the building. It is the intention of the housing author ity to group those occupied by the university students. No Official Name The plat was at one time ap proved by the city planning commission but has never been dedicated and has no official name. The City of Salem Water department has agreed to con tribute to the enterprise by in utalling water lines, and a state digger will make at cost ditches for sewer connections with lat erals that are already installed. Foadc and walks will be built and utilities provided at local exDense, but the government will build concrete walks to the roadways. The government pays thf expense of moving the units from Portland and the cost of certain interior furnish ings $14 0 Goes to Klclt The housing authority will pay Klett $1410 a year. The federal government will allow the local organization $15 per unit per year or $1800, leaving MM tc be applied to prepara tion of site. Occupants of the apartments will pay rental, not uniform in amount, expected to average around $25 or $27.50 a moth. The committee will be allowed to hold out only such amounts as are necessary for maintenance and upkeep, the balance to be turned over to the federal government. The set-up is for three years with the option of renewal on a year-to-year basis up to five years, which is the maximum time the arrangement can stand. Should more units be added Klett will be paid at the same rate as for the original group of units. When the project is disbanded as no longer neces sary the local housing authority will by agreement, get the buildings for salvage. Their va'ue it is believed, at that time should be at least $200 each. Landscaping Planned Tne premises of the buildings will be landscaped. There will be space for play areas for chil dren, but these must be devel oped by the veterans . them elves. Members of the housing au- thority that carried out the plan are W. J. Braun, chairman; Steve Anderson, secretary: Rob' ert L. Elfstrom, George Aiken and.Halph Nohlgren. H C Saalfeld, veterans' serv ice officer for Marion county, said 240 applications have been reefcived for the 60 units not set apart for Willamette university. that all are from veterans in nerious need of housing, and that no more will be accepted. picked here and there from the county records. Real estate men elaborated somewhat on the story just to get a cross section as to sales. One operator told of a house in north Salem which sold in 1942 for $3750, was sold again in 1943 for $4950 and in 1945 was sold for $7250. A va cant lot not far away from the scene of the preceding transac tion brought a top price of $250 in 1942 and in a year was sold for $750. Doubles the Price He reported a sale in Yew Park in 1943 at $2600, a quick sale by a widow who was forced to leave town. In the same year he resold the place for $5200. On South Church street, quite a ways out, his records show a sale of a place for $2200 in 1942, re sale -of the same place for $4200 in 1944 and another turnover in 1945 at $6000. Still another real estate oper ator went back in his books to give a birdseye view of some sales. He cited a house built for the owners in 1938 at a cost of $3000, sold the same year for $3750 but in 1945 it brought $8500. In 1946, about a month ago, the same house brought $10,500 but about $800 worth of furniture went along with it. In the interim it had rented at $125 a month. Vacant Lots, Too A vacant lot sold by the city in 1944 for $225 was resold in 1945 for $500 and in 1946 for $875, this one the operator just toss ing in as a sample as to vacant lots. A house on North 18th street built in 1939 for $3800 was sold a few days ago, reported the real estate operator, for $9500. One sold last Saturday for $4800 was offered three years ago at $1600. This same operator stated that in building a residence now a formula has been worked out here of a cost of $6.50 a square foot for a residence without a cellar and of $7.50 a square foot for one with a cellar. "This means," he said, if the formula was followed, "a house with 100 square feet without basement would cost $6500 and with basement $7500. There is only one trouble with the form ula," he added. "Try and find a contractor who will contract to build a house on that basis. It isn't done. He wants cost plus and that's what he gets if a house is built." New Toasfmasfers Club Organized Cap'tui Toastmastcrs' club, a new organization, got started in Salem Wednesday night at an initial meeting held in the Lion's Den on Fairgrounds road.
