PRAISES FOR THEIR HOSTS

seaport
Electric transporta tion has ami
Inflated city limits. Los Angeles is
growing toward the Pacific and, ten
years hence, when this association,
perhaps again will hold its sessions In
this city. Los Angeles will have It's
virons toward Santa Monica and Ocean
Park" were the words, which his lis
teners were pleased to call prophecy,
and not mere optimism, spoken by
Henry P. Barbour at the luncheon of
the California State Realty convention
at the Lankershim yesterday, and they
brought enthusiastic applause from the
men whose duty it is to watch the ten
dency of city growth and profit by it.
"It is right that the city of Los An
geles should control it's harbors. should
profit by their returns and should pro-
tect the commerce which enters them" !"
continued Mr.. Barbour. Los Angeles
is extending its limits southwark and
San Pedro is going north to meet
them.
"Forgetful of the fact that the
Southern Pacific railroad is expending
in San Pedro double the amount that 1t
is investing in San Francisco; forget
full of how Huntington is joining the
harbor to Los Angeles by four roads
and what may be the method of his
x1ynr 11nth inL nf cto n In
lines which are to bring Southern Cali
fornia closer to the orient, and admit
ting the prestige of other harbors Of
the Pacific Coast line, there are other
reasons which convince me that the
port of San Pedro is shortly to be un-
that the prosperity of San Pedro is to
be the prosperity of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Expansion
1.-The opening up of the Clark road
quantities of iron ore along its right
of-way, means a complete revolution
in the industrial conditions of Los An
geles and California.
THE Salt Lake road is also to make
possible the entry of Los Angeles into
is to give to California much of the
profit from the results of the irrigating
plans now being worked out by the
government
Returning again to the subject of
San Pedro harbor, we are shortly to
with the Central and South American
states. To quote the words of Leslie
NJ. Shaw, secretary of the treasury,
commercial development has turned
toward the Pacific The Pacific slope
has arrived. Los Angeles has arrived"
The realty men had listened to
longdrawn-out program of toasts ere
Mr.. Barbour arose TO speak, but there
was no lack Of enthusiasm to his re-
marks.
Convention Ends
With the luncheon at the Lanker-
SHIN, at which over $50 persons sat
down, the first annual convention of
the California State Realty assocl-
alton, which found birth in Los An
geles Friday morning, came to a close
Organizations old in years, and
which have assembled in Los Angeles
in the past, have been the scenes of
far less harmony, enthusiasm and lack
which was formed largely through the
efforts of the Los Angeles Realty
board.
The luncheon was given with them
as hosts yesterday noon. President

view" His remarks abounded in wit
ticisms in which even Moses was made
10 have the proper ability in the selling
of tracts and subdivisions when he led
the chosen people into Canaan, and
Solomon, with all the wisdom of the
true real estate agent, was made to
build his temple so that it faced in the
four directions, giving an equal and
added value to all property adjoining
It.
