REALTY MEN SCHEME
TO GET THE CITY HALL
BUILT IN NORTH END

With no prospects Of a sale to the
city of any site for a city hall, the
realty men are said to be ready to get
into a scheme that will result in some
sort of deal whereby the hall will be
located in the northerly part of the city.
1t has been rumored that q combi-
nation of interests is endeavoring to
secure a location, planning to buy out
right, and then present the land to the
city, on consideration that the hall be
built there.
Whether the southerly section will do
likewise is a problem. 1t is conceded
that the district that gives a site will
stand the best show at winning the
race. The latest offer of land is the
Baldwin lots fronting 1856 feet on Spring
street, north of the old Hamburger
store. The price is $273OO0.

RUSH OF FARMERS

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 9-Judge Somers,
Frank Leslie, clerk of the district
court and Tom Ryan, bailiff, have re-
turned from a weekend trip to Las
Vegas, made for the purpose of look
ing into the possibilities Of securing
government land reported to have been
rendered valuable for agricultural pur-
poses because of the recent artesian
water strike in that section.
Thousands of acres of land have been
taken up in that vicinity of late as the
result of the, small-sized rush, but the
Goldfeld men say the best has already
been staked. They report that the
newly discovered flow OF water has
rendered considerable of the land quite
valuable and that the crops from the
land on which water has been placed
are good in quality and large, in guam
tity.

likely to treble in population within

SAN PEDRO REALTY
RISES IN AFTERMATH
CONSOLIDATION ELECTION
STARTS BOOM
Firm Opens Office In Los Angeles to
Promote the Rudecinda Tract
of the Huge Dodson
Ranch

The aftermath of the consolidation
election in San Pedro reveals an un-
precedented activity in real estate in
the Harbor city. A week ago today
Mason & Walter, the San Pedro real
estate firm. opened offices in the Pa
cifc Electric building, Los Angeles.
They offer one of the finest newly
subdivided tracts there. Their prop
erty is a part of the huge Dodson
ranch, held intact for generations by
this old-time family. This property,
which Is named the Rudecinda tract,
is located but six blocks from the har-
Dor. While within walking distance of
the business center, it retains the
characteristics Of the most beautiful
residence section.
This tract is located at the foot of
the gently sloping Palos Verdis hills,
with a fine view Of the harbor, ocean
and mainland The highest grade i'm
provements have been completed. The
boulevards, which are ten feet wider
than any other streets in San Pedro,
are all graded. Curbing is completed
and the work of planting 1000 shade
trees begun. In the center of the Ru-
decinda tract is located the new
900 San Pedro high school, most
magn1ncent structure.
The fact that this is the only re-
stricted tract in San Pedro makes it
most desirable for people who desire
homes costing $500 or more. Already
there are three modern bungalows
built on this property and many more
are planned.
Interest from Start
Intense interest has marked the
opening of this property. The first
weeks sales point to a record sale on
the remaining lots. Persons. from the
entire, southwest are showing their
faith in the future prosperity Of San
Pedro by investing heavily on the
Rudecinda tract.
Lectures are held every Wednesday
and Saturday night at the city office
in the Pacific Electric building. The
general public is taxing the seating
to the utmost at these inter-
esting events. While these lectures
are primarily for the purpose of pro-
noting the Rudecinda tract. the whole
of San Pedro is receiving the recogni-
tion it deserves.

NECESSARY TO
CITY'S WELFARE
RIVER BEAUTY PLAN GAINS
SUPPORT
COMMITTEE REPORTS SCHEME
AS EASY TO PERFECT
With No Great Engineering Difficulties
Ahead, System of Folding Dams
with Concrete Basins Is
Recommended

The work of the commission for the
improvement of the river, bed is grad
ually being recognized as one of i'm
portance to Los Angeles, and it's full
scope win be better appreciated as the
details and aims of the originators be-
come known. At the various meetings
held for the purpose, which have been
carried on under the auspices of the
Federated improvement Association,
the subject has been a live topic and
every effort made to hold it up before
the public as something absolutely
necessary to the welfare of the city.
This idea is correct, and every means
should be used to bring about a sue
cessful campaign. In order that fur
ther action might be taken, COM
mittee, consisting of Architect John
Parkinson, Attorney John w. Mitchell
and Engineer w. o, Secor, was ap-
pointed for the purpose of viewing the
bed of the river and to suggest plans
for improving and beautifylng the
same. This committee, after going
over the ground from Buena Vista to
the Ninth street bridge, reported that
there were no great engineering diff
fculties or problems to be solved and
recommended that a system Of folding
dams with concrete basins be installed.
The basins, six in number, each to
De ooOO lSeL lOHS anu GUo leeI WluG
across the top, and separated by the
folding dams. On either side of the
basins a six-foot sidewalk and a thirty
foot driveway are suggested. At each
dam is planned an ornamental bridge
of reinforced concrete. 1t is also sug-
gested by the committee that on each
side of the roadway a parapet wall OF
concrete, about three feet six inches
high, be built; also that the bridges
CHI Ia no erea5 fr
railroads.
OF Reinforced Concrete
These bridges should be constructed
Of reinforced concrete with balustrades
and parapet walls at each side, all
forming a part of the general archi-
tectural scheme. Access could be pro-
vided from the roadways by means of
stairways or inclines to the surface of
the roadways above on the bridges.
The roadways should be not less than
thirty feet wide with a ten-foot park
ing on the railroad side and a four
foot strip of lawn on the river side,
but between the parking and the river
parapet wall there should be a walk
of from five to six feet wide.
The committee, in its suggestions,
Incorporates considerable territory, a
large portion of which could be elimi-
mated from it's provisions. The only
possible portion of the river bed avail
able for Improvement and which would
give the best results, is that lying
north of the First street bridge In
this district the first view of the river
is obtained by the newcomer; south of
it is seldom seen. The contemplated
improvement should also provide for a
public natatorium, baths and laundry
buildings, which are of vital impor-
tance to this particular section of the
city.
