some Notes from that Thriving
suburb.
Remarkable as has been the improve
ments in The lovely suburb of our city
known as Boyle Heights during the past
year. the current seems setting in that
direction stronger than ever. There is
an unmistakable boom ON the Heights at
presen', and with the prospect OF two
new railroads across the river there is
good basis for this rapid enhancement
Of values. The Heights is just enjoying
new sensation, in the person OF d man
who proves TO be a magic discoyerer OF
the locations in which water can be
found. With his witch hazel wand,
he has located several wells very sue
cessfully, and proved the existence OF
an abundance of water, of the best kind,
at reasonable depth, This discovery
is one WHICH will prove of considerable
Importance.
Buyers Of real estate are begin
ming to understand that the prop
erty they can now buy on Boyle
Heights at comparatively low
price affords at present the best pos
sible chance for Quick turn. Then for
homes this part of the city must con-
stantly grow in favor considering its
healthy location, beautiful scenery and
easy access TO the business center. The
demand for property in this select
neighborhood has induced DIR. 0. b.
Bird to subdivide q portion OF his well
known tract into large aud elegant lots
and place them on the market at the
most reasonable prices. DR.. Bird has
appropriately named this place the
Home tract, and it is his intention to
make it the location for those who wish
attractive homes. The property is all
under high cultivation and covered with
bearing fruit trees. The soil is light
and porous and entirely free from adobe.
Tomatoes bear through the whole win
ter, and it was on this place that the
Strawberries grew measuring three and
one half inches in circumference, ex-
hibited at the flower festival.
The tract is about one mile and half
from the postoffice. three minutes
walk from two churches, and the
FIVE minutes from the terminus of the
First street electric rod, to be completed
this summer. is directly ON the line of
another electric road, and near enough
to the electric light to admit working
out doors at night. The climate is par
ticularly mild and agreeable and the sea
breeze, coming from San Pedro instesd
Of Santa Monica, is tempered by passing
over twenty miles OF land, and is there
fore considerably milder. The owner
has arranged to pipe water to each lot
and the supply will be abundant
Prices for lots are very low. The terms
are one quarter down, balance in four,
eight and twelve moaths, without inter-
est, or monthly payments, if preferred,
with the agreement that no one shall
permit the erection of house on his
lot of less value than $1,000. A liberal
discount is made for cash.
1t will be seen tnat the owner intends
to make the Home Tract one of the
most select and desirable places of resi-
dence in the city. Already surrounded
by beautiful homes, the improvements
he contemplates, together with those in
progress on the Heights, will speedily
TRIBE the value of the property. 1t will
be worth while to see DIR. Bird and
learn further particulars concerning this
fine investment, or call on his special
agent, Mr.. NJ. L. Brown, No. 10 north
Spring street.
