1t is expected that when the lands
are opened for sale in the fall there
will be a paved road from the center
of the city through Cahuenga pass and
Lankershim to the first townsite estab-
lished by the Suburban Homes COM
pany. The grade through Cahuenga
pass is now being Strengthened out and
cut down. The Ventura road is being
graded and gravelled. 1t is expected
that work will be commenced immedi-
ately on the paved boulevard con-
Meeting Iankershim with the lands of
the Suburban Homes company and the
automobile speedway and other paved
boulevards to be built by the said COM
pany.
Almost all the purchasers have signi-
fed their intentions to improve their
lands. Some will plant orchards. some
alfalfa. others will take up general
farming and many will establish elab-
crate country estates.
j. w. Chase. prominently identified
with orchard and dairy interests at
Riverside, has purchased eighty acres
near the first townsite. which he con-
templates improving and making into
a typical Southern California home
Six hundred and forty acres have been
purchased by c. T. Grogan, one of the
largest manufactures of olive oil in
the United states, who will plant same
to olives and otherwise beautify and
intensively improve.
A complete list of purchasers is not
available. Following are a few: I. L.

greatly exceed the above stated fig
ures, as at a late hour last night there
were still number who had not yet
completed their purchases and many
others who had signifled their inten-
ton to purchase, but who may not
make their final selection for several
days.
The discontinuance of sales will in
no way affect the plans for improve
ments and developments outlined by
the company. The large amount and
substantial nature of these improve
ments, coupled with the well known
skill and financial ability of the men
behind the enterprise, give every indi-
cation that this immense tract of land
at the very gates of the city and up
to this time unoccupied. will within a
very brief space of time after the
present crop is harvested, be trans
formed into one of the most beautiful
and extensive suburban communities
tributary to Los Angeles.
Surveys for two electric lines are now
being made to these lands connecting
via North Vermont avenue, around the
mountains. through Lankershim, and
the other by way of Cahuenga pass.
The Suburban Homes company has
agreed to give rights of way through
its lands and has set aside n bonus
of 500 900, and il is probable that the
decision as to which of the two routes
will be taken will depend upon the lib
erality of other property owners as
to bonus and right of way.

which Mrs. Basolo of Burbank was rid
ing. which was hit by a county auto
mobile driven by J. w. Ferris was pre-
sented to the board of supervisors yes
terday and referred by them to the
highway commission. 1t was stated by
Supervisor Pridham, to whom the claim
had been handed, and who had invest-
gated the subject, that the county
could not be held liable for damages.
Mrs Basolo's rig was overturned
and she was so injured that she was
compelled to remain in bed for two
weeks. No specific damages were
asked in the claim presented by her at
torney.
After a declaration by Chairman Net
lis that automobiles are driven at a
speed exceeding the limit ON Wash

DELAY IN LAND SALE
To HARVEST BIG CROP
Value of Acreage Sold TO Date Is
Somewhat in Excess
of S1,250,000

The Los Angeles Suburban Homes
company reports that already the
opening sales amount to over $1'?50,-
600. The opening sale closed last
night. 1t was intended that 1t shouId
continue until July ]. The reason for
the change IS that w1en the lands
were purchased by the Suburban
Homes company the previous owners
reserved the present grain crop and
right to harvest the same, and be-
cause of the early ripening of the grain
and consequent danger of fire it was
mutually agreed to discontinue the

several hundred thousand dollars.
