REALTY MARKET
NEVER BETTER
CONDITIONS POINT TO RECORD
BREAKING SEASON
Praisewo rthy Action on the Part Of
Los Angeles Realty Board-Flesta
kilograms Sent to Eastern
News Agencies

The fact that the Los Angeles rea
estate market has kept moving and
about as active as usual, notwithstand-
ing the brief interruption caused by the
Fiesta hurrah, demonstrates that still
greater things will be accomplished in
the local field, which affords especially
attractive advantages for profitable in
vestments, in both business and resi-
dence property.
While many sales have been closed
since Governor Pardee declared the
continuous period of legal holidays, 1t Is
known that numerous large PROPOSE
tions in realty deals are pending, wait
ing for the governor to allow the courts
and banks to proceed without any mis-
givings as to the application of the law
in important transactions.
You may look for the greatest
activity in the real estate market in
the history of Los Angeles the week fol-
lowing the end of the legal holiday peri
od," said a prominent realty dealer
Saturday. 1.-THE savings banks" he
added, twill not make big loans on
pending propositions until the holidays
are over. This position of the banks 1t
Is known has retarded the closing of
oCOlGS VI DlB uedlS. KNOW Oh IndHy
agreements to sell desirable business
property at handsome advances, but the
transfers will not be made at present.
The savings banks have millions of
cash on deposit to place on approved
property, but comparatively few loans
will be made until the close of the holi-
day period, which is near at hand"
The Los Angeles Realty board has
been active in improving opportunities
offered in putting Los Angeles and
Southern California to the front in
glowing colors throughout the eastern
states. The board expended S10o in
cash in sending carefully prepared tele-
grams to the New York World, Herald
and Sun news agencies, describing the
grandeur of Fiesta week, the visit of
the Shriners and the crowds that
packed the streets and avenues of the
Home City of the Pacific coast. These
messages were sent by the New York
agencies to all the principal newspapers
OF the earth, and the crowning success
of the Los Angeles festival was given
the widest publicity.
The realty board also contributed
$500 toward the purchase of illustrated
and descriptive pamphlets for distribu
ton at Atlantic City, N. j., where
