BIG LAND SCHEMES
CAPITALIZE AT ONE MILLION
DOLLARS
New Corporation Will Be Called west
ern investment Company and
Will Acquire Large Land
Areas

BY the act of the stockholders of
the College Hill Land association and
the University Heights syndicate both
companies have passed out of existence.
Their holdings were taken over by
the Western Investment company,
whose assets were stated to be $780,
900 and whose liabilities are repre-
scented by the figure 0.
The consolidation of the two big
companies has been planned for Some
time. The articles of incorporation
of the Western Investment company
were filed more than month ago at
the office of the county clerk.
The capital stock OF the company is
fixed at 81, 100000 divided into 10000
shares. Five thousand of these shares,
valued at $625, 900, although their par
value is $100 share, were given to the
stockholders of the two old companies
in place of the stock they held, making
them shareholders in the new COM
pany, instead of the other two. The
balance of the stock is placed in the
treasury of the Western Investment
company.
Col Col. d. C. Collier is the presi-
dent of the new company, George d.
EGStOn the vice pTeSluelI anu - ~
Reinbold the secretary. Besides the
president and vice president, the di-
rectors of the company are Rufus
Choate, w. E. Lewis of Utica, N. Y,
and NJ. A. Graham of this city.
Runors of other companies in which
Col. Collier is interested consolidating
with the Western Investment company
or being absorbed by it could not be
confirmed yesterday, Mr.. Collier re-
fusing to make any statement regard
Ing such move.
The College Hill Land association
was one of the oldest real estate COM
panies in San Diego. 1t was formed
in 1886. and at one time owned all OF
the University Heights. Much of the
best part of this big tract remains I'M
sold and will be handled by the new
company.
The University Heights syndicate
owned, up to a year or two ago, all OF
Normal Heights, and the part that re-
mains unsold also is taken over by the
new company.
