NAPLES A MARVEL
IN UNIQUE DESIGN
WONDER HOME CITY ON THE
PACIFIC COAST
Elaboration of Original Plan Wins the
Admiration and Praise of the
PeopIe-Residences Highly
Ornamental

The rapid development of Naples, the
city of red tile roofs on the coast op-
poSite Alamitos bay, is watched with
growing interest by the public.
1t is a gigantic undertaking-the
plans providing the greatest and most
unique residence city in the world.
1t will be remembered that the orig
inal plans embraced the use of dead
men" as anchors for the cement bulk
heads along the sea wall and canals.
After full consideration it was decided
that these could be bettered and the
stay rods were heightened six feet and
fastened to heavy piling driven twenty
feet from the bulkheads. This involved
an additional expenditure of $4,000,
and the walls are the finest ever con-
structed for like purpose. This was
done at no expense to the lot owners,
and the value of their holdings have
been enhanced fourfold. Then again,
the matter of street improvements was
one that did not fully meet the views
of the directors of the company. They
at first designed to grade and gravel
the streets and all contracts were
made with that provision, but the
change made to asphalt streets will
make of beautiful Naples a city un-
the perfect arrangement for sewerage
the streets can be kept in the best of
order
Ornamental Home Construction
Not only is due attention being paid
to the cutting of canals and the MAX
ing of streets, but the manner of con-
struction of the residences at Naples
calls for words of praise. Ordinarily,
in building waterside cities, there is no
provision made for the class of build
ings that will go to make city in
deed. AT Naples every detail is given
the closest attention. and in the case
of foundations the utmost care is ex-
ercised so that the buildings Will not
settle at the corners or at any point.
The concrete foundations are not only
made wide at the base but are rein
forced and made unbreakable by using
T rails at the corners, and throughout
the entire superstructure.
Work Is going rapidly forward at
Naples now that weather conditions
Will permit, and every Sunday thou
sands go to the coming beach city OF
the world to note the progress being
made. While the people of Los Ange-
les have been kept in touch with all
that has been doing at Naples, still
few. indeed, realize what stupendous
enterprise this really is, and 1t is a
matter of remark on all sides that in
this instance the Naples company has
kept faith with the people in every
particular-and even more so. The
company is now arranging for the
erection of a number of new buildings
and ere summer is fully on those who
are now taking out their ANAL papers"
in the way of deeds will realize that
they have made good investment.
