RapId Hotel Improvement

Rapid headway in the erection of
the twelve-story hotel building on the
southwest corner of South Spring and
Fifth streets would have been made the
past week had not the cave-in of the
concrete retaining wall on the Spring
street side interfered. The heavy rain
and the bursting of two water pipes
were responsible for the misfortune to
the contractors, Condor & Hays, who
are out about $1,000 in making good the
damage They will not finish the work
until some time next week. Superin-
tendent Eagan, who has charge of the
construction work for the Bilicke-
Rowan Building company, states that
all of the foundation walls are in place
and that the iron caps win be put in
as soon as possible. and then will come

and after they are in place the building

BUILDING ACTIVITY
IS MAIN TANNED
JANUARY PUSHES ITS NOSE
INTO THE LEAD
Permits Issued in the First Five Days
of the Month Reach the
Grand Total of
$279,55o

While December, 1904, closed the
years building activity in Los Angeles
with a total of s1,527,3 397, January of
1905 has jumped into the thickest part
of the game, showing a total of 146
permits issued, valued at $279,55O. This
is great record to make, as Monday,
January 2, was practically a holiday,
thus confining the business to five days
of the week. With such an auspicious
opening builders look for a prosper
GUS period for months to come.
Among the permits issued is one for
a three-story brick block to cost $40,-
700, and three brick blocks of two sto-
ries, each averaging about $4,000. The
brick and frame alterations reach
twenty, valued at $26, leaving 1876

LET'S Gets THE
HOTEL SAVOY
WILL TEAR OUT THE TWO
UPPER FLOORS
Entire Area to Be Devoted to the Use
Of the Broadway Department
Store-Tenants Ordered
to Vacate

Having acquired from A. NJ. Ponce
let the lease of the second and third
stories of the Hotel Savoy, on the
southwest corner of Broadway and
Fourth streets, Arthur Let's, proprietor
Of the Broadway Department store,
will add 41,560 square feet to the space
that his big store now occupies. This
new space is the area directly above
the ground floor store that Mr.. Let's
has always occupied on the Broadway
corner that can now be classed within
the retail business center of the city.
Each of the new floors are 122xl70 feet,
and these added to the space now oc-
cupied, including the Mrs. Rose He'll
man building on the south, that is Cox
150 feet, gives Mr.. Let's an entire area
of 100x360 square feet.
Tenants of the old Savoy hotel have
been notified to vacate, as the work
of tearing out the interior will begin
this week. Many improvements and
alterations also will be made to handle
the increasing business of the depart
ment store. Among these are the in
stallation Of three new elevators, the
creation of a new broad entrance and
stairway and the cutting of wide
arches between the new floors acquired
and the Hellman building. While the
plans have not been fully matured, it is
understood that an intention exists to
add more light by a series of windows
on the Fourth street side. The front
of the building will also be remodeled,
taking advantage of the present style
of architecture.
For years has Mr.. Let's had this
plan in contemplation and now he says
he is a fixture in Los Angeles, as his
lease runs for years to come, and that
it is on Fourth and Broadway the
home of his store will remain. In ad-
dition to occupying the floor space
named Mr.. Let's also uses four base
ments on Broadway and two on Fourth
street, one of these being under the
building occupied by the Pacific Elec-
trio company
AS more space is to be added to the
Broadway Department store many
tradesmen are preparing themselves to
think that Mr.. Let's may enter, cap
ture and take in the Knox hotel block
on the west.
