and developing and piping of pure
| artesian water from the water belt

special feature will be splendid 1S0-
| foot boulevard with improved public
parkings, flanked by wide drives an6
walks. No street in the subdivision
will be less than seventy feet and al
will have wide parkings. To redeem

will be started over the entire tract
and will be planted in such way as
built AS all houses must set back
thirty-five feet, it will not be a hard
matter to make allowance for them
Where there are a number of new
houses in a block the company will in
some cases start lawns on the vacant
lots in that block.
No lots will be less than 50X150 feet
and the tiers of lots on the RedOndC

seventy-five feet. There will not be
a key lot in the subdivision and nc
cutting of lots will be permitted. Two
thousand dollars will be the minimum
for homes, and on the 1S0-foot boule-
ward three thousand dollars.
Purely Residence Property
This subdivision is purely for resi-
dences, and the restrictions are such
that no -unsightly business stands in
struggling one-story shacks, such as
mar even some of the most exclusive
neighborhoods, can ever possibly find
a foothold in this fastidious suburb. A
building on the casino order will CEN
tralize all business, and house the
company's offices, as well as the
butcher, the baker, and the candlestick
maker.
e. A. Forester & Sons were pioneers
in the Westlake, Wiltshire and Ascot
Park districts. Their Wiltshire Har-
ward Heights tract has shown an in
crease of 100 houses in eighteen
months A part of the Forester pol
icy in their very successful handling of
this beautiful subdivision was the
building of artistic homes to set the
pace in the style of improvements.
This policy will be applied to Angeles
Mesa, and an Angeles Mesa building
company will be organized. Several
handsome homes will be started i'm
mediately on the tract by the com
pany. Applications for reservations
are already on file for number of
people desirous of building in the new
subdivision.
Prices for lots will range from 5000
nm. with special concessions to first
buyers, and to those building first
homes in each block.
