Currier Estate Lands Near Roggen Likely Build Block
The Currier estate trustees Mayher and Tuckerman will use about 21 003 dollars from last week’s sale of 5 000 acres near Roggen Colorado to finance a new two or three story block at the corner of Eighth avenue and Eighth street in this city. Plans have existed for over a year but legal fights delayed action. The sale proceeds must be invested or idle, and improving the unsightly corner with the old iron clad shacks is now planned.
