How Los Angeles is
Growing

December rounds out the year 1905
with a top notch record in the line of
Improvements in Los Angeles. Every
month of the year has made a good
showing in building, construction
work being carried forward nearly
every day, the weather conditions be-
ing admirable for the contractors.
Many large business structures have
been erected to be added to the list
of the more modern Improvements of
Greater Los Angeles, and thousands
of new and imposing residences and
cottages adorn the avenu-s ) and streets
OF the city. There is no apparent
cessation in the Improvement epidemic.
1t is growing and spreading at an
amazing pace and as proof of the need
of the new homes it can be truthfully
stated that nearly all of the homes are
occupied, while it now is extremely
difficult to secure dwellings, to rent.
Owners of lots and investors, how
ever, are making continued efforts to
provide homes for the thousands Of
people fiocking to Los Angeles.
