REALTY VALUES SOARING
AROUND HOLLYWOOD
Assurance of Annexation to Los An
geIes Gives Impetus to Interest
in Business and Home Sites

The effect of the annexation of Hol-
lywood with the greater city, which
seems as good as settled. is felt chief
ly by those handling high-class resi-
dence and business property in the
famed foothill city. it appears that
the sentiment for annexation is prac-
tically unanimous among the residents
of the community, and the knowledge
that the residents OF Los Angeles are
enthusiastically in favor Of the prop
osition is looked upon with much sat
isfaction, particularly by the business
men and those who recognize the ad-
vantage the merger will prove to the
entire community.
Options have been secured on many
properties which have been out of the
market for "a year or more, SO far as
inquiries by investors are concerned.
Annexation, it is claimed by those who
keep in touch with Hollywood affairs,
will not fail TO give a fresh impetus
to all interests, especially transactions
in the realty market. With Hollywood
as an integral part Of Los Angeles it
is expected that many residents of Los
Angeles and other points will build
modern homes at the city now knock
ing at our doors.
