FINE IRON BRIDGE,
Costing from 5000 to $4,000, is now
on the ground at Also avenue, and In a
short time the structure will be com
pleted and the tedious transfer arrange
ment which has existed since the food
three months ago will be doneaway with.
1t is also reported that they contemplate
changing the road to two horse line
and making ten minute trips, as is the
rule on the other branch Of the road.
This will be great advantage to Boyle
Heights, and will make these cheap
lots, ranging in price from $500 to 5000,
as desirable as any in the city. But
what will do more thah anything else to
develop the fine tracts on the east side
Of the river is the building of the
FIRST STREET ELECTRIC ROAD,
Which now seems to be assured. as q
portion of the material, including the
rails, was shipped from Pittsburg. Pa,
some time since, and is now on the way
aud will arrive shortly. This road will
run from Main street, along First street,
connecting with Also avenue at the
electric mast, and then running along
that thoroughfare to the car stables of
the old company, where it will probably
defect and the route be by way of Vir-
pinia avenue. OF the success of this
enterprise there can be no question, and
the same wonderful advance in values
on the west side caused by the building
of the Second and Temple street cable
roads will be repeated on the east side.
rxpnr
Are now in course of construction on
Boyle Heights, including several which
will cost from $4,000 to SIS. 900 each.
Notwithstanding some obstacles in the
way Of communication during the
last winter, people who have
visited the Heights In search
of homes have been captivated by the
pure air, the magnificent scenery and
attractive surroundings, and the i'm
provements have been of as substantial o
character as in any part OF the city.
There 10 unquestionably a good chance
here Just now to buy for speoulstors,
and one of the most attractive of these
opportunities has been afforded by the
Subdivision by J. W. Browning of lot 8.
block 70, map of which subdivision
appears in another part of the HERALD.
The tract in question is bounded by
Also avenue, Louisiana avenue, Lottie
and Conant streets, and has beautiful
slope, making ID
VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR RESIDENCE LOTS.
The lots are covered with full bearing
fruit trees, such as peach, apricot, pear,
apple and italian chestnut, and several
varieties of choice grape vines. From
any one Of these lots Q family can get
each season sufficient fruit for
home consumption. From the tract
may be obtained o fine view
Of the city, the valley and the
mountains. The ocean breeze comes
up every day during the summer season
and it 10 always cool and pleasant in
this neighborhood. 1t is but three
minutes walk from the excellent school
on the Heights, the Methodist and Pres
byterian churches are close by, and the
Episcopalian society hold services in
Workman Hall and are preparing to
build. 1t Is also but q short distance
from the Postoffioe, stores, etc. Water
is piped all over the tract and the pres.
sure is strong enough to throw a stream
Of water over an ordinary cottage.
There is no adobe land; it is all deep,
rich loan and will grow anything that
can be produced in Los Angeles.
COMMUNICATION WITH TOWN.
The Also horse.car lIse passes directly
in front of the tract. 50 that residents
have at present easy access to town;
but, best of oil. the proposed route of
the electric road is directly through it,
via Virginia avenue. Even SHOULD
the route by Virginia avenue
not be adopted, the road must
pass the tract via Also avenue.
This fact will make it apparent to all
that every lot will double in value
shortly. The lots are offered at present
at from $500 to $500 on easy terms. By
the electric road they will be ten min
utes ride from the postoflce. Lots with
not half the advantages of these sell in
other parts of the city at from $500 to
81, 900. On the tract, already, are the
elegant residences of j. W. Browning
and Mrs. DR.. Nagel. The latter is not
yet completed, and will coat 5000.
Mrs. Littleboy is also preparing to
build. Near at hand is also the $4,000
residence OF Mr.. 1anahl, the lumber
dealer, and the line residences OF Mr.. ".
E. Miles, late president of the City
Council, Mr.. Chapman and others. Few
sites IN the city have such desirable
nsighborhood, or such pleasant sur
roundings. A few blocks west Is Spence's
addition, for which Mr.. Browning is
also agent, and in which lots range in
price from $500 to $500.
ar own rur uRfours
A spirit Of enterprise is being
manifested which speaks well
for the people. The settlement is par
ticularly adapted to those who wish
quiet, pleasant homes. The comparative
cheapness Of property and the certainty
of rapid appreciation in values will be
certain to attract large and desirable
class Of people, who will make changes
and improvements far exceeding those of
ahe past. rapid as they have been,
