The opening of a new home site tract
anywhere near Hollywood never fails
to attract instant attention and cause
rush for the lots. The opening of
Hollywood Park place is one of the not
able events of the present season of
activity. This tract consists of 23S lots
In the heart of Hollywood on Cahuenga
avenue, one block north Of the elegant
home of Paul de Longpre and one
half block from Prospect avenue,
Hollywood's chief thoroughfare. Otto
Weld & Co. and the W. A. Roberts
Realty company are agents for the
tract, which would have been eagerly
snapped up long ago had it not formed
part of an unsettled estate. Now all
legal formalities have been complied
with. The tract has been surveyed,
streets are now being graded and wa
ter has been piped into the tract. The
formal opening began Saturday and
will continue through today. Free ex-
cursions have been arranged for over
the Hollywood car line and free tickets
may be had at the office of Weld &
Co. and the Roberts Realty company.
There has been a very gratifying ad-
vance sale of lots in Park place.
Eastern Syndicate Purchase
Julius A. Abrahams of New York and
Charles w. Schmidt, representing an
eastern syndicate, have obtained two
more options on tracts adjoining the
already acquired northwest corner
tract, bounded by Alameda, Slauson,
Alba and Topeka streets, comprising
265O feet on Alameda and Alba streets.
The syndicate now is negotiating to ac-
quire all manufacturing sites possible
where railroad facilities are so well To-
Gated, especially on the above tract,
where the Santa Fe railroad runs along
Slauson avenue and the Southern Pa
cific along Alameda street, making 1t
one of the best Industrial sites in the
city limits.
Mr.. Abrahams has come here to
make investments, since the last bond
election has assured the city ample
water supply.

LIBERAL ADVERTISING PAYS
Remarkably Rapid Cleanup Of 234
Lots in Highland Park
Tract

Grider & Hamilton have announced
the opening of Highland park. their
new subdivision in Highland park, for
tomorrow Monday-and q homeseek-
ers excursion TO the same place for to-
day--Sunday; but neither will take
place There is nothing to open for. All
of the 234 lots were disposed Of to ITS
different purchasers before last Sun
day night, the total sales footing up
100000. 1t is hardly necessary to ex-
plain that this remarkable showing
was unexpected by Grlder & Hamilton,
who had supposed that their prelimi-
nary advertising would merely arouse
public interest and lead up to the pro-
posed excursion and opening. This
firm has always been a liberal adver-
tiser, and the result is a feather in
the cap of judcious newspaper pub
licity, backed by the reputation Of
realty dealers who have long "made
good" In enterprises of this kind.

Concrete Contractors Making Fair

prises.New Plans Drawn
by Architects

The recent unpleasant weather has
resulted in retarding progress on
some of the construction work in Los
Angeles. The cutting wind and chilli
ness, though not of the Eastern bliz-
zard pattern, checked the energy of
the workmen, and only fair progress
has been made.
The concrete contractors on the DR..
Hayward office building on South
Spring street, and on the bank build
ing, corner of Main and Third streets,
felt the effects of the weather notice
ably, but operations were braVely con-
tinued and both buildings are steadily
rising higher.
Rapid progress is shown in the erec-
building, corner of Fifth and Olive
streets.
The Zahn estate building, corner of
Franklin street and Broadway, soon
will be enclosed with plate glass front
The roof is on the Levy Cafe building,
corner of Main and Third streets.
The indications are that the building
will be ready for business about De-
cember Is.

NEW ADDITIONS
ON THE MARKET
LOTS FOR INVESTMENT AND
HOMES
Continued Demand for Outside Prop
erty Results in Improvement of
Many Subdivisions-Rec-
ord Breaking Sales

Home seekers of limited means and
those with money to invest in Califor
mia soil have caused real estate firms
and Individual owners of nearby tracts
TO form new additions and engage in
extensive improvements that they may
meet the urgent demand for home
sites. Many new tracts have been
plated and lots placed on the market
at tempting figures, so low in many
cases and offered on such easy terms
that even the day laborer may nego-
tiate for a lot and ultimately own
home if he is provident.
Another New Addition
Original Sunnyside opened a short
time ago, is about half sold out, and
this before the improvements planned
are entirely completed. The quick sale
of these quarter and half acres shows
how people appreciate lots large enough
for home and garden. The improve
ments are about finished and comprise,
besides graded and oiled streets and
cement sidewalks, rows of handsome
shade and ornamental trees along the
street lines, and last but not least, an
ample supply of artesian water piped
in four-inch mains.
Emil Firth has opened another tract
adjoining Original Sunnyside and
known as Sunnyside Heights. This
tract consists OF acre lOtS only ana
lies on a high mesa, overlooking the
city, and the soil is of a very fine
quality. The land is supplied with
abundant water for irrigation and do
nestic use. The Gardena branch of
the Redondo line and the San Pedro
line supply the necessary tranSporta-
ton.
Mr.. Firth owns and has under sub
division over 500 acres in that vicinity.
He thinks 1t is the most desirable loca-
tion for people of moderate means to
secure self-supporting homes.
Near lnglewood
p. w. Powers and associates have
purchased from Joseph Burkhardt a
tract containing 800 acres, without val
liable improvements located directly
west of IngleWood and near the line
of the Los Angeles e. Redondo Elec-
trio railroad for the reported price OF
100000. The land Is exceptionally well
located for subdivision, especially into
acreage lots OF suitable size for small
ranches or country homes.
Sought Seventy Acres
Grider and Hamilton have purchased,
through C. M. Gordon & CO., about
seventy acres, bounded on the north by
Sunset boulevard and on the west by
Cover street, from the Cover estate
for the sum Of SS5,0U0 There are many
fine lemon trees on the tract, and Is

tensive trip thruout the Bullfrog
district. He visited all the operating
mines and photographed the district
from end to end. The pictures may

Angeles, AIS Hellman Bldg. Mr.. Nash

vast opportunities for real estate and
