ito nof at least $1,000 a year for the

BUSINESS TREND
Off HILL STREET
PROPERTY OWNERS ARE NOT
ANXIOUS TO SELL
Investing syndIostes Strong In the
Faith That Commercial Interests
viii swerve Westward
to Flgueroa

Considerable interest has been shown
during the past week by holdon prop
erty owners in the movement of in
vesting syndicates and their represen-
tatives in reference to property along
West Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
streets.
The sale of one or more parcels of
close-in business frontage along the
streets named serves to create a de-
cided stir among business men, espe-
cially those who are looking for lower
rental values.
Some of the syndicates may be strong
enough financially to acquire most of
streets below Fifth, but 1t appears that
they are not able to buy at present
valuations. The sale of the state nor
NAL school property will serve to has
ten the closing of a number of pending
deals at fancy figures.
Assurance is given that modern
ten-story block will soon be erected on
the southwest corner of Hill and Sixth
streets. This Improvement will be an
other opening wedge to the westward.
Agreements have been signed by Geb-
hard Eshman for the erection Of a mod
ern business block near the northeast
corner of West Seventh and Hill streets.
The lot is directly west of the Bullock
Department Store building, and is i'm
proved with row of frame buildings
that will be vacated at once and re-
moved. 1t is expected that work on the
new structure will commence about
June 10. The two-story building that
Dwight Hart will erect on the north
east corner of Hill and Seventh streets
will be occupied by H. F. Vollmer.
Members of the Leasehold company
have acquired the south side frontage
on Eighth street, extending from Broad
way to Spring street, being 800 feet on
Eighth and sixty feet on Broadway and
Spring. The officers of the company
are Lester Robinson, president; Robert
D. Wade, secretary, and Robert N,
Bulla, treasurer. The fact that the
property was purchased was announced
in these columns several months ago
The company, it is stated, will erect q
modern business block ait an outlay OF
about 100000.

NEW ICE PLANT
TO Be ERECTED
SITE SECURED AT FIFTEENTH
AND ALAMEDA
Consumers Company to Contribute to
the Supply, Which Is Considerably
Below the Demand Of the Los
Angeles Market

Indications are, according to those
who are gathering statistics, regarding
the industrial growth of Los Angeles,
that 1907 will break all records in the
increase in the number and extent of
manufacturing establishments.
Among the most recent additions to
the manufacturing industries is the
Consumers Ice company, which has
Just secured a site for its factory and
cold storage warehouse in the big In
dustrial tract at Fifteenth and Ala
media Streets access to which has been
gained by the Southern Pacific, santa
Fe and Salt Lake railroads and the
Pacific Electric line. Work OF SINKING
an artesian we'll and remodeling the
buildings now on the ground VIII oegln
at once, and it is expected by the pro-
moters that the factory will be in OPP
Grafton by July l.
In view of the fact that the demand
for Ice in Los Angeles last summer was
in excess of the supply and also to the
fact that the increase in population
over last year is not less than 25,OOO
the promoters of the new enterprise
express themselves as confident that
even with the addition Of the output
of their factory the demand will be
much greater than the supply.
The new company has adopted the
policy of semi-co-operation and will
give the public an opportunity of par
ticipating in the profits Of the concern.
This is done by selling to the holders
of each share of stock of the par value
of $40 two tons of ice at cost price,
the difference between the cost price
and the present retail market price
being sufficient to pay for the share
of stock. Thereafter the holder of the
stock will participate in dividends.
AS an indication of the immense
profits of ice companies it is stated
that one of the concerns now in opera
tion in Los Angeles is buying back its
own stock at an advance of $50 per
cent above it's par value.
