ANNEXATION TALK
CREATES DEMAND

That the coming annexation of VIII
mington and San Pedro to Los Angeles
is creating a big demand for acreage
toward the sea is evidenced by the
sales which Patton & Longely are max
ing daily in their Man-Moneta tract.
When it is taken into consideration
that the Main street boulevard goes
directly through the property and that
there are also other through roads to
the sea there can be no question but
that this acreage will within year
sell for two and three times the prices
now asked for the property.
Another important factor in the sell
ing of this acreage is in the fact that
the Wilmington, san Pedro and Los
Angeles Harbor railroad has a right
of-way down South Park avenue, ana
when the line is completed it viii pass
directly through the center of the acre
age.
Sales for the week have been made
to the following:
n. e. owens, two and half acres ON
Wilmington road. $1375; II. O. Jamison'
two acres on Main street boulevard
$1,000; r. O. Casper. two acres on Maple

one-half acres on Wilmington street.
