That the. property at 14 Second Ave. S.E.
As is $17, 500.00
Land only (without house) 15,000.00
That the property at 18 Second Ave. S.E.
As is I 16,000.00
Note: It is the appraisers opinion that no salvage other.than
used lumber could be had from the Fawcett property'. In
the instance of the Pougiales house the owner should in
our opinion be given the option of moving the house to a
different site at an agreed figure.
It is not the appraisers intent at this time to make a formal report on
basis.for the opinion arrived at; this being only in answer to a request
for an opinion; however, we have in our records a complete inspection
report of both properties as to size; condition, location, and
adjacency, use and permit, a comparative value on market price.for
properties in the adjacent area from which to prepare a formal
appraisal report if needed.
