HOME BUILDERS BUY
MONETA AVENUE LOTS

That there is an active demand for
lots in the Moneta avenue section is
testified by the sales made by Patton
& Longley within the past week. A
large number of sales have been made
to actual home builders and, best OF
all, the purchasers are now busy erect
ing their own homes.
The reason why there is so much ac-
tivity in this section is the developing
of Los Angeles toward the sea. This
property, situated in Moneta avenue
square, is right in the great growth OF
the city. When it is taken into con-
sideration that the car fare is only
five cents and there is regular service
it is easy to see why the people will
buy where the city is growing.
Sales for the past week were John
Alexander, two lots at $500 each; Mary
Kneff, one lot at $500; Andrew john
son, one lot at $500; Andrew Moring-
star, one lot at $500; j. H. Comics,

PASADENA RAPID TRANSIT
WILL BE BUILT NEXT YEAR
President of Company in Announce
ment Says Line Will Shorten
Distance

Horace NJ. Dobbins, president of the
Pasadena Rapid Transit company. has
issued a letter to the people of Pasa-
oena in which he says:
1.-THE Pasadena Rapid Transit rail-
road to Los Angeles will be built, and
1t is my honest belief that this road
will be built and the cars running be
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles inside
of eighteen months. The right of way
is ours absolutely. We own every inch
of it. 1t cannot be taken from us. 1t
is absolutely without grade crossings,
and there is no franchise to expire. 1t
is absolutely the shortest line between
the centers of population in Pasadena
and Los Angeles. and always will be. !"
Mr. Dobbins explains that the cross
ings would be through tunnels under
the streets or on bridges over the
streets. When asked about the right OF
way with no franchise, he said that al
ready 224 pices of property had beer
purchased from individual owners, ano
others were in sight.
