The Hill improvements.

Water is the all important question in South
ern California. Let there be water and every
thing in the vegetable line springs up and
grows with growth unparalleled in other To-
calitles Orange trees spring up with marvel
lous rapidity, and the spot becomes a little
paradise under the manipulation ofindustry
wherever water can be had
The hill lands have been delayed in their
sale simply because the arrangements for
water were insufficient. The time given for
their sale has consequently been extended for
| two months A large reservoir capable OF
containing untold hundreds of thousands OF
| gallons of wateris now being constructed. An
engine and pump Is now on Its way hither,
| which will raise 1000 gallons of water per
| hour into the reservoir, more than is now
consumed by the entire city of Los Angeles.
| All lots must be sold previous to April 18th,
| for upon that date those that are left will be
| disposed of at public auction, by the popular
| auctoneer, Noyes. They will be sold on the
installment plan, at his rooms in the Temple
Block on Spring street; the first installment
payable on the day of sale.
Fifteen thousand feet of pipe are now being
laid in the streets. 5000 feet of which are al
ready in the ground, and millon-gallon res
| ervoir is now being made to supply the lots
| with water.
The City Surveyor has been ordered to de-
| fine the grades and lines of Olive, Charity and
| Bunker Hill avenues, from Hill to Hope;
| Second street and Temple street from Hill to
Hope. This will bring these lands within
easy reach of the business part of the city,
The distance to the Courthouse is less than 1t
is to the Turner's Hall.
Mr. Beaudry being the owner by perfect and
ndisputable title, offers the following scheme
believing that 1t supplies a felt want,
His various tracts have been surveyed, and
plotted in lots of convenient size for resi-
dences, upwards Of two hundred in number,
and the maps, together with abstracts of title,
are kept for public inspection at his Office, OPP
posite the Pico House.
Any person desiring to purchase can inspect
the land, select his lot or lots, and acquire the
same, if not previously taken up by another,
upon the following terms, purchasers not be-
ing restricted to single lot:
The purchaser or his successor to pay the
fixed price ofthe land selected by him in equal
monthly installments, as follows On lots
$500, Sis per month; on those valued ut 5000
and less than $500, $40 per month. Payments
in gold or currency and no interest demanded.
For cash in hand, a reduction of fifteen per
cent will be made.
The purchaser to have immediate possession
upon payment ofthe first installment and on
execution and delivery of contract.
The right Of the purchasers may be assign
able to him, and his assigns to succeed to all
his privileges and liabilities; standing in all
respects towards the vendor as an original
obligor
Purchasers shall not be restricted to the pay
ment of the installments as above shown, but
may make payments in advance, and on such
payments he will allow one per cent per
month, from the date Of payment until said
payment would become due.
Upon selection of a lot or lots by a purchaser
in U. s. gold coin, as expenses on the docu-
ment, Mr.. Beaudry, with the purchaser, will
execute and acknowledge sealed agreement
embodying the above conditions; and, upon
full payment, according thereto, the under
signed will execute and deliver to the pur-
chaser, or his lawful representatives, on de-
mand, good and sufficient and absolute deed
of conveyance of the distracted lands, in form
of warranty against grantor, the grantee pay
ing the cost of such deed.
The location is very desirable. All that
has heretofore been lacking is water, and that
want is now filled. Anywhere else, in as de-
sirabie location, lots readily command from
$500 to $1,000, and even higher rates. This
property Is put at the astonishing low price of
from $500 to $500. But this is not all. This may
be paid in currency and a reduction of fifteen
per cent Will be made for cash in hand.
