PASADENA BUILDING
GROWS 50 PER CENT
Northeast and East Sides Are Most
Active Owing to Subdivision of
Tracts in Past Three
Years

NORTH PASADENA, Nov. 7.--Dur-
ing the past two weeks building on the
north side has picked up wonderfully.
According to a prominent contractor,
business is fully so per cent better than
it was last fall and it is expected that
the growth will keep up. A number Of
people have been hesitating about
building this fall for one reason or
another, but some of them have de-
cided that the present market is safe
for them to invest their means in
buildings.
There is no part of Pasadena which
is being built up any faster than the
northeast and west sides.
This is probably due to the fact that
it is only within the past three or four
years that the majority of the tracts
were subdivided, while in the older
portion of the north side the notice of
new buildings is less marked.
The permits issued by Building In
spector Shaver for the past two weeks
aggregate $14,90S, of which amount $14,-
463 is for new residences. The pre-
vailing style of architecture seems to
be the bungalow, seven of that style
of residences being in course of con-
struction.

additions being made:

PURCHASE
Well Known Fruit Growers from Tur-
lock District Locate in Cherry
ValIey-company to
Plant Trees

The report Of the Beaumont Land
and Water company for the week just
ended indicates a healthy condition of
the realty market in spite of the fact
that the election was disturbing fac
tor. Though the sales of the summer
and early fall have exceeded the ex-
pectations of the company the an
nouncements of an advance in prices on
the goth of the current month has slim
ulated buying by those who have con-
templated purchasing at present prices.
During the past week, in addition to
the sales of five-acre tracts and town
lots, an important purchase by two
well known fruit raisers from the Tur-
lock district, Messrs. w. Leon and John
N. Kopp, is that of twenty acres located
in the Cherry valley subdivision. Leon
Kopp will move to Beaumont next
week and will be followed by his
brother December /. This tract will
be set out to apple trees at once.
The decision of the Beaumont Land
and Water company to set out 100
acres of apples has greatly stimulated
the community, inasmuch as 1t shows
the absolute confidence the promoters
have in their own property. Work has
also decided on the erection of a $1,000
mission office building on Fifth street,
next to the large lumber yard.
Activity in building continues very
noticeable. Just across the street from
where the new office building will be
located will be erected the commodious
brick bank building of two stories,
fronting on Fifth street, to cost $4,000.
The contract is already let, building
material ordered and actual construc-
ton will begin at once. The new
building which has been put up for
the use of a hardware store has been
rented TO Robert Fulton of Los An
geles, who will Immediately occupy it
with stock of drugs, and another
building is now being erected on the
adjoining lot for the Hardware Supply
company The new $4,000 Curler block
is also rapidly nearing completion.

RECORD sales Of Farm lands

The S. r. b. Morse Development
company reports for month ending
October 81, of its five, ten and twenty
acre tracts in Tulare county, the total
sales of $15,950. Many homeseekers
have located and are settling, build
ing homes and preparing for the fall
planting. The land has been on the
market less than a month.
A large force of men and teams are
at work preparing additional tracts,
and the work of surveying additional
lands is being mapped out by company
engineers. Mr. Morse says that there
are reservations on 100 acres that were
not included in the amount of sales,
as they credit only the actual sales
closed on which the money has been
paid.
owing to the amount of business
transacted, the S. F. B. Morse De-

essary to enlarge it's quarters and has
