MORAN — W.C. Neth, who lives at 310 S. Ohio in Iola, hopes that the homes he is building in Moran will help attract new industry. Neth intends to build seven 1,000-square-foot, three-bedroom houses that will sell in the $15,000 range. He said they are being built under Farmers Home Administration loans so that persons who meet FmHA specs will be able to qualify for the low-interest rate loans.
