SANTA MONICA, Dec. 18.-The follow

Der Of our prominent citizens, which
speaks for itself:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF TRADE,l
SANTA MONICA, Dec. 10, 1893.
DEAR sIR-There will be a meeting OF
the board OF trade at the office in the
rear of the Bank OF Santa Monica, on
Tuesday evening, December 10th, ut
7 80 O'Clock. 1t 10 hoped that the board
may be fully organized and ready to do
all that is possible to promote the inter
ests of Santa Monica during the coming
year. Your attendance is desired.
ROBERT +. JONES, President.
]. ]. CARRILLo, Secretary.
The board has been organized two or
three times, and has failed to accom-
plish much by reason OF lack of interest
OF it's members, more particularly their
lack OF desire to do their share of the
work necessary and attendance at the
board meetings. But now there is
every prospect of it being made live
organization for the towns good and
productive of beneficial results. 1t has
been the aim of the officers to send invi-
tations to all who are doing business in
Santa Monica and to such others as
seemed most likely to take an interest
in promoting the welfare oil the town.
OF course such list, compiled necessa-
rily from incomplete data, is sure to
omit many who should be asked. They
therefore beg that every one who feels
interested will come whether he gets
his invitation or not.
Now is the opportunity for anybody
who has good idea for the benefit OF
the town to come forward and express
it. | understand that several matters
of interest to the merchants will be
brought up. Don't let anything pre-
vent you from coming.

The following lots have been sold by the
Jones interest during the past few
months:
Lot s in block 14l, to A. ]. Myers; i'm

plan, houses being built to suit buyers.
Mr.. Lester has built on his holdings a
to put up more to suit buyers. The
houses are all OF good character, in
cluding the electric power house. Judge
WINS contemplates residence that will
90 far to boom the land in the vicinity
OF Ninth and Arizona, where he is
located. The Jones people, looking after
home builders instead of spsculators,
had this understanding before sales
were made.
The Santa Monica Commercial COM
pany's tract has all been sold save six,
and there are over go dwellings on the
100 lots. The handsome residence of
Mr.. Hostetter on the south side, costing
about $4,000. and that of L. R. Vincent
on Third street, costing $3400 are also
among the good dwellings recently COM
pleted. Mr.. James Tobin has made a
handsome addition to his Sixth street
residence. costing 5000.
This is only . few OF many which l
could give. but 1t shows that we are de-
veloping substantially and hard times
affect us not.

will make new era in itself when

The case has caused much excitement
