AS an instance Of the appreciation
in value of Los Angeles real estate,
we have the following: In 1923, lots
in the Mott tract were assessed at lesi
than SO each, and in the latter year ,
number were sold at $l7 apiece. Ii
1868, the entire tract was sold for al
aggregate of 81 500 80. The assess
ment for the present year on the same
property has been SO far aratlVanced tina
the State county and city taxes alone
will amount to more than the entire
price of the property in 1868. Ihi
advance in value has been effected IL
measure, of course, by the improve
nlent of streets and supply of waite
for the property, but IL shows also tin
strong upward tendency of rea! estat'
