WESTLAKE PARK ONCE
NOT WORTH TWO BITS
Land Went Begging in
Early Days Under Auc-
tiOneer's Hammer

While at the chamber Of commerce
banquet Uncle Billy Workman, city
treasurer. became reminiscent between
courses and told story about the
cheapness of &ngeleno realty back in
the sixties-a story that seemed almost
incredible.
And let it be recorded that at every
gathering in the Angel City real estate
is one of the principal topics of con-
versatlon. No matter where one may
light or where one may go, real estate
comes to the front. Therefore it was
natural that Uncle Billy, by way of
contrast, should revert to one striking
incident that came under his observa-
tion.
Said Treasurer Workman: "Tlme
was when real estate in Los Angeles
was not worth two bits an acre. That
was forty years ago, out in the West
lake park section, now one of the most
desirable residence districts. A syndi-
cate owned all Of that land and it was
pub up az puDilS odlS, Will IL W.
Noyes as auctioneer. All around the
deep hole in the earth now used as
Westlake park the land sold as low as
$5 and Sc an acre, but when it came to
selling the alkali ravine not a bid at
any price could be had. Noyes called
for So, 81, 50 and 81 bids, but no one
responded.
"Then he offered the thirty-flve acres
at six bits, four bits and down to two
bits an acre, but 1t was no go. Nc
body wanted the land at any price,
and it remained deserted and unirn-
proved until 1887, when E. A. Forester
and the late Drs. Bryant and Hagan
and others proposed to pay half the
expense to convert the acreage into a
public park If the city would stand for
the other half of the expense. The
proposition was accepted and that Is

the way in which land that could not
be sold for two bits an acre finally be-
came beautiful Westlake park"
1t was largely through the enter
prise and foresightedness of Mr.. Work
man, who was mayor Of Los Angeles
during the years 1878, that Westlake
park was created.
Mr.. Noyes, the auctioneer who failed
to sell the park land. is still resident
of the city, and ex-Mayor Workman
has always felt elated over the fact
that the park came into existence dur
ing his administration.
Another statement of interest made
by City Treasurer Workman is that
originally the Spanish had set apart
large territory for what is now Los
Angeles, acreage embracing sixteen
leagues, or about forty-eight square
miles, but after the conquest it ap-
pears that those in charge of public
affairs deemed it best to surrender
twelve of the sixteen leagues to the
government and start off with only
1OuT leagues, OF d leIllIOly VI dpOut
twelve square miles.
Elipha w. Noyes, whose picture as
he appeared when actively engaged in
selling tracts and lots in Los Angeles
at auction, is presented in connection
with this story, resides at 413 East
Twenty eighth street, and now is in
his 10th year. For several years he
was the only auctioneer in the old
town, coming here from Washington
territory, drawn thither from Wash
with him and he still loves to quote
Byron and spin yarns about early ex-
perience in the west.
"Yes," said Mr.. Noyes, Il was the
first auctioneer in Los Angeles, when
acres of land worth many thousands of
dollars now were sold at IS to 500
each, and many acres could not be soli
at any price.
"In 1869 or 1870 Mathers Keller Vol
ney e. Howard, o. w. Childs, ex-
Mayor Beaudry and Stephen Mott COM
prised a syndicate that owned all Of
the hill section extending from the
Jewish cemetery down to the old
wooden mill land at the end of Sixth
street Nearly all of that hill district
was auctioned off at IS to $1Oo an acre,
and the wooden mill land brought the
highest price. 1t Is now the least valu-
able. Stephen Mott is the only men,
ber of the syndicate living. I was the
auctioneer at the first sale of lots at
Santa Monica, two days sale for
Colonel Baker that was opened with
1owery address by silvery tongued
Tom Fitch. There was but one build
ing small hotel, in the place. 1 re-
member that the land sold at what
was deemed fair prices. Pomona was
a little hamlet with one hotel and three
dwellings, when l was called there to
sell lots at auction. 1 also sold lots
at Artesia, Santa Gertrudez and other
places and was kept busy"
