Villa Sites Carved From
Acres That Skirt
Hollywood

Opinion has never been divided upon
the question of the beauty and natural
environment of the Hollywood section,
and had this opinion ever been sundered
the trip that about fifty business men
made Thursday to Crescent Heights
that practically adjoins the charming
residence spot of Hollywood on the

OF acres 1t is questioned if a more
perfect piece of pastoral scenery is
found in all this beautiful southland
than that which greets the eye while
standing at the northern boundary of
Crescent Heights.
Another feature that strikes the
fancy Of an investor is that lots aver
age S0x190 feet, giving ample space for
beautificatio of the grounds and the
cultivation of scores of varieties of
shrubbery. Streets are well rolled and
wide. while cement curbs, covering
thousands of feet in extent skirt every
block. This work is all substantial.
That water is abundant and will be
literally supplied is in evidence, as
the West Side Water company has
pipes to the land, and on the highest
corner of the land the owners have
planned a storage reservoir that Will
be filled by plant drawing water from
a well that is inexhaustible and has
been sunk over 600 feet Water is piped
to each lot by four and six inch iron
pipes that cover every street.
Scores of lots have been sold, and on

MARSH LANDS TO BE OPENED

I tell you things as is things, as sam
Weller used to say, have been doing in
the last week of the big, striding month
of April in the real estate market. Dlo
YOU ever see so many big, attractive
and slice cutting sales reported closed
as appear in this paper this bright ana
invigorating morning? And the beauty
of the situation is its healthful tone ana
that men of millions, those fellows VINO
have confidence, are in the market.
And also that local capital is going into
the frontages. Hardly name is used
this week that is unknown in this
growing town.
With all of this 1 have noticed that
the smallbore writer's on realty condi-
tions in smallbore papers all during the
week have been harping on things that
they wot not Of and on things that
they understand less. For instance, the
fact was made public and repeated yes
terday that the northeast corner of
Olive and Sixth streets, owned by Vail
& Gates, was sold for S13O,000. I speak
by the card when | say that that COR
ner has not been sold. 1 want to en-
phasize that fact and TO right wrong
I can say that an option has been given
for that corner at price far in excess
OF $3.50, 900 and when the sale is COM
pleted the figure will be higher.
Again the statement was made and
also repeated that Mrs F.. Kerckhoff
had sold lot on the west side of Main
street, near Sixth street to the Hunt
ington interests for $4,000 or some
such figure. Now listen to me. That
sale is a fake report, or the smallbore
writer has been imposed upon by some
money hunting agent, Mrs. Kerckhofi
never owned foot of property or
that side of the street. When Mrs
Kerckhoff sold her property to II. f
Huntington on the southeast corner o.
Main and Sixth streets she parted will
all her land in that district. Her son
w. G. Kerckhoff. owns the northeas
corner of Sixth and Main; that is tn

make these corrections but necessit
compels that large interests shall b
protected.

This Parsons idea is the reclamation
Of tide marsh lands opposite Alamitos
bay and that are skirted by the San
Gabriel river. About eighty acres are
to be utilized, and as the still waters of
the bay protect the land the project is
not liable to the action of sea and rough
weather. The idea that Parsons has
perfected, for which he tells me he has
all the capital he needs, is to create a
canal 100 feet wide that will be ellipti-
cal and from which other canals will
project, and upon all sides Of the canal
residence lots will be created, with
broad paved streets to reach the con-
crete walls that will surround the water
frontage.

they get half crop this season, al

Mr.. Roche said that the dust in the
country was terrible ITS six inches

for the clouds of it where to drive.
The farmers are sadly in need OF

a great benefit to the crops. Mr.. Roche
