REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING NEWS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
GOOD ROADS SURVEY
OVER CUDAHY RANCH
ROW OF FINE WALNUT TREES
MUST BE REMOVED
Depth Of 700 Feet Has Been Reached
by Well DriIlers on Great
Ranch-To Install Big
Plant

Final surveys for the S000-foot stretch
of highway in the 'good roads" system
which passes through the Cudahy ranch
have been about completed within the
last week or so, and arrangements have
been made for removing a magnificent
line of walnut trees at the northern
end.
'"There will be no delay as far as this
section of the good roads system is
concerned" said Manager James r. H.
Wagner yesterday. while it seems q
shame to cut out such handsome and
profit bringing row of trees 1 am glad
to do it, as it will help to establish one
of the most magnificent systems of
roads any community ever possessed. -
This boulevard is really an extension
of Pacific boulevard, which runs north
and south for some distance through
Huntington Park. The latter is a
municipal road, and is not legally in
the system of new highways, but all
traffic will pass over it on the way to
Long Beach, following Santa Fe ave-
nue. from Seventh street, rather than
along Slauson, Compton and Florence
avenues to reach the new Long Beach
boulevard. All will pass through tho
Cudahy ranch.
Work on the wells for the water sys-
tenn on the new 1000-acre tract next to
be placed on the market is progressing
rapidly. The drillers reached a depth
of more than 700 feet by Saturday. The
tools passed through several fine water
bearing strata of gravel, and the
operators were certain a good supply
of water would be obtained.
One of the most modern pumping
plants in Southern California will be
installed here, consisting of the novel
apparatus employed by the city in its
new plant south of the city, where the
water is forced to the surface by COM
pressed air.. Three hunderd miners s
inches of water will be delivered from
this and another well to be sunk in the
same location. This is at the higher
point of the ranch, and water will be
delivered to users by gravity flow
alone, making operation relatively
cheap.

LANDMARK OF EARLY
DAYS IS WIPED OUT
RANCHO AzUsA DE QUARTZ BE-
COMES SUBDIVISION
Famous Old Spanish Grant Was origi-
nally 5000 Acres-Last 265 Acres
Yield to Advance of
Civilization

| The last remaining portion of an
other grand old relic of Spanish days
in California is passing away The
famous old Rancho Azusa de Duarte,
originally over 5000 acres but now COM
prising but 265 acres close to the town.
site of Monrovia, on the gentle slope of
the San Gabriel valley, is the last dis
appearing remnant of one of the SPLEEN
did old ranches within the great orange
belt.
Like other old ranches that have
yielded before the inevitable march of
civilization, this one now succumbs TO
the demand of that large class OF CALI
fornia home seekers who are looking
for five or ten-acre parcels that Will
not only afford charming home sur
roundings, but at the same time fur-
nish an income.
This old rancho, with it's limited sup
ply of mountain water, has heretofore
been largely planted to walnuts, pota-
toes and grain. But it will be trans
formed and made available for Valen-
cia oranges, for which 1t is especially
adapted, by reason of the new and
abundant water supply now furnished
by the new 350-foot we'll and pumping
plant just installed by Joseph r. Lof-
tus. the owner.
Two features contribute to the cheap
ness of the water. The well taps the
San Gabriel underfiow ON its way to
the sea, and the other is the economical
feature of the Neher generator attach
ment of the Fairbanks and Morse en-
gine, that reduces the fuel operating
expenses so per cent. The water is
conveyed entirely in cement pipes.
Rhubarb, asparagus and other garden
vegetables will be special features.
This old rancho, lying within the
friendly shelter of the Sierra Madre
mountains and enjoying at the same
time the perpetual sunshine and the
cooling ocean breezes, within walking
distance of the schools, churches, etc,
is an ideal spot for rural homes with
city advantages.
The church ownership provided that
the proceeds of sale should be devoted
to charity, and SO finally it was sold,
and will now be subdivided for country
home and orchard purposes. A neat
sum is thus acquired for charitable
purposes, and numerous small homes
will take the place of the old historical
spot so long ago granted by the Span
ish crown to Azusa de Duarte.
