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."
