The Hill improvements.


Water is the all important question in South
ern California. Letthere be water and every
thing in the vegetable line springs up ana
grows with growth unparalleled in other To-
calities Orange trees spring up with marvel
lous rapidity, and the spot becomes little
paradise under the manipulation of industry,
| 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
Lcontaining untold hundreds of thousands OF
gallons of water is now being constructed. An
engine and pump is now on its way hither,
which will raise 10000 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
auctioneer, Moves. 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 million-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 Tyres 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 it
is to the Turner's. Hail.
Mr.. Beaudry being the owner by perfect and
indisputable title, offers the following scheme
believing that it supplies felt want,
His various tracts have bsen surveyed, and
plotted in lots of convenient size for resi-
dences, upwards of two hundred in number,
and the maps, together with abstracts ftitle,
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 q single lot:

fixed price ofthe land selected by him in equal

and less than $780, $40 per month Payments

of conveyance ofthe 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 $780, But this is not all. This may
be paid in currency and reduction of fifteen
per cent Will be made for cash in hand.
