Bunker Hill.

A little over year more, and the
Tooth anniversary of the Battle of
Bunker Hill will take place. A little
band of heroes, then inaugurated
struggle, which brought untold results.
1t is very fitting that their deeds should
be commemorated. The nation at
large is very justly arranging for a
celebration on an extensive scale, of
the centennial anniversary of this
event. This will instil patriotic impulse
into the souls Of those of the coming
generations, and prepares them for the
struggles, which they, in life, must
undergo. Overhanging Los Angeles
is hill similar to Bunker Hill-nay,
it is larger. From it all the city can
be seen and the country for miles
around. On this hill also, are military
marks, the remnants of fort, which
was built for the protection of liberty
in this State. This hill has ap ave-
nue. running along its crest, and our
friend Beaudry, through whose in
fluence chiefly it has been opened, has
very appropriately named it Bunker
Hill avenue. The City Surveyor has
been ordered to define the grades and
lines of Olive, Charity, and Bunker Hill
avenue, 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 Court
House is less than it is from the Turn
ers Hall.
Mr.. Beaudrv being the owner, by
perfect and lndisputable title, offers
the following scheme, believing that
it supplies felt want.
His various tracts have been sur
veyed, and plated in lots of convent
ent size for residences, upwards of two
hundred in number, and the maps, to-
gether 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 follow
ing terms: Purchasers not being re-
stricted to single lot.
The purchaser or his successor to
pay the fixed price of the lands selected
by him, in equal monthly INSTALL
ments, as follows: On lots valued at
$500 and upwards, but not to eX-
coed $500, SIS per month; on those
valued at $500 and upwards, and less
than $500, $40 per month. Pay
ments in gold or currency, and no in
terest demanded. For cash in hand a
reduction of fifteen per cent. will be
made.
The purchaser to have immediate
possession upon payment of the first
installment and on execution and de-
livery of contract.
The right of the purchasers may be
assignable by him, and his assigns to
succeed to all his privileges and liza
bilities; standing in all respects to-
Purchasers shall not be restricted to
the payment of the installments as
above shown, but may make pay
ments in advance, and on all such
payments he will allow one per cent.
per month, from the date of payment
until said payment would become due.
Upon selection of lot or lots by
purchaser, and payment of the first in
stallment with five dollars, in U. S.
gold coin, as expenses on the docu-
ment, Mr.. Bcaudry with the pur-
chaser, will execute and acknowledge
a sealed agreement, embOdying the
above conditions; and, upon full pay
ment, according thereto, the under
signed will execute and deliver to the
purchaser, or his lawful representa-
tives, on demand, good and sufficient
and absolute deed of conveyance of
the contracted lands, in form of war
ranty against grantor, the grantee
paying the cost Of such deed.
These proposals will be kept open
until the 18th day of February, 1874.
The location is very desirable. All
that has heretofore been lacking is
water, and that want is now fulfilled.
Anywhere else, in as desirable loca-
ton, 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 reduction of fifteen per cent will
be made for cash in hand.
