BAY CITY IS BEAUTIFUL
Rapid Growth of the Ideal Seaside
Home District - Signal
Hill Water

Those who have not seen Bay City,
situated on Alamitos bay, have missed
one of the beauty spots of the Pacific
coast. That beautiful tract has been
exploited for some time past for just
what it is, but many have failed to
realize just what a lovely spot it is, and
in truth cannot imagine how attractive
it is until they go down and look over
the ground and compare it with other
beach towns. The lovely tract is high,
commands a view of the mountains and
of the grand old Pacific that is truly
fascinating. The improvements being
put in at Bay City are of the best
and many beautiful seaside homes
have been built in the recent past. The
water supply is one of the best fea-
lures of all, coming as it does from
Signal Hill under heavy pressure. The
soil at Bay City is rich and is free
from sand, making it possible to grow
a wealth of flowers. There is no back
water at Bay City to become stagnant
offensive, and trip to this rarely
beautiful seaside home site will appeal
to those who love the grand in nature,

NAPLES

The dredger Seattle, one of the larg-
est on the coast, has arrived at Naples
and preparatory work is now going on
rapidly. Great credit for enterprise, en-
ergy and ability must be given to both
A. M. and A. C. Parsons for the work
so far done on Naples, which now in
sures a successful termination of their
plans. There is ample money at the
back of this vast enterprise to insure
it's completion. AS a natural water
course for pleasure craft it has been
demonstrated by the dredger entering
the harbor that it is capable of. taking
sea-going vessels. When Naples has
been completed it will eclipse any
thing of a like nature both on the
Pacific and Atlantic. Now is the time
to invest there in property while prices
are low, for they will certainly ad-
vance as the contemplated improve
ments are completed.

SANTA MONICA

Apparently having tired of waiting
for land buyers as well as persons in
search of business opportunities to of
their own accord seek and invest their
money in this section, the Business
Mems associations representatives Of
this city Ocean Park, Venice and
Playa del Rey have formed a publicity
association and in conjunction with
the Joint chamber of commerce recently
organized, will at once institute an ad-
vertising campaign which 1t is prom
ised will either make or break the
progressive element of this section.
Funds for the publication of 10000
booklets, illustrative and descriptive,
were subscribed at a meeting for or
ganization held at the Country club
last Thursday evening. These pamph-
lets with other advertising matter are
to be sent to information bureaus, rail-
road ticket offices and other places OF
inquiry throughout the United States.
Newspaper and street car publicity re-
ceived preference to other means sug-
gested and 1t is probable that most of
the advertising will be done through
the above named mediums. AS the
plans now stand the campaign will be
carried on indefinitely. Committees to
forward the present arrangements as
we'll as temporary officers of the or
ganization were appointed, a. J. Will
kins continuing to serve as presiding
officer.
Mrs. Ellen A. Dow has contracted
for bungalow to be built ON her prop

rangement. These will comprise built
| in wall furnishings and practical
utilities for kitchen use.

LONG BEACH

Southern California has long been
famous for its great achievements and
rapid growth, but probably the great
est engineering feat of not only South
ern California, but Of the entire Pacific
coast, from Seattle to San Diego, is
now going on at our door. The work of
reclamation on the Inner Harbor and
Back Bay tracts at Long Beach when
completed will afford Los Angeles an
other port of entry. The Inner Harbor
and Back Bay tracts are situated be-
tween Long Beach and San Pedro, and
San Pedro at the present time is the
port for Los Angeles and is the COM
nanding point on the shortest route
for ships between Panama and the
orient, and the shortest haul across the
continent from Chicago to this coast
now is San Pedro, but the Inner Har-
bor will be when completed, thus maxi
ing this latter place the logical place
of departure and arrival for all ves-
sells making the voyage from any city
on the Atlantic to any city on the
Pacific. Both San Francisco and
Seattle water fronts are built upon re-
claimed lands, and water front prop
erty in both of these cities is command
ing fabulous prices, with few sellers.
1t is the intention of the Los Angeles
Dock and Terminal company, which
owns about 800 acres in what is now
known as the Back Bay tract, to re-
claim this valuable property and place
it on the market for manufacturing
sites at reasonable prices. The prop
erty will be filed from eight to ten
feet and brought to an even grade with
the Salt Lake tracks. which bounds it
on the south. and the Southern Pacific
which is on the north.
Ample Railroad Facilities
These two great transcontinental
railways being in such close proximity
to the harbor assures ample railroad
facilities for handling the vast amount
of shipping that will come of its own
accord. Property now is being sold in
what is known as the first block in
at $27 per foot, and within 1000 feet
to the east frontage is selling rapidly
at 5000 per foot. During the past week
there has been considerable activity
in the Back Bay tract. This tract lies
adjacent to the harbor now in the
course of construction. AS the plans
of the company materialize, and as the
lots in the Back Bay tract are filled
up, it is evident that this property will
become very valuable. The land now
being filled was formerly marshy, but
the two large suction dredgers, Long
I Beach and Coronado, constantly at
work filling it up, are rapidly convert
ing the marsh into high, solid ground.
The Los Angeles Dock and Terminal
company under it's contract with the
purchasers, agrees to fill the lots, lay
out streets, curb them and put in good
cement sidewalks.
The immediate reason that this prop
erty is so valuable is that it lies very
close to Long Beach, but aside from
this it has great speculative value ow-
ing to the harbor developments. The
inner harbor will consist of three
channels, No. being 400 feet wide and
30 feet deep, Nos. 2 and 8. 300 feet wide
