on the Par Value of
Stock -

Home Builders directors Thursday de-
clared their quarterly dividend. three and
one-half per cent will be paid the stock
holders in cash. which becomes available
within thirty days.
This marks the ninth quarter. or 81
months of Home Builders activities as II
building enterprise In Los Angeles, and its
growth has been little short of marvellous
"a stride quite in time with the ownward
march OF Los Angeles
Twenty-seven months ago when the Or
ganization was effected the original cash in
hand amounted to only $3.50. The financial
statement Of the enterprise shows assets Of
100000, with a surplus of over 100000.
Home Builders plan differs from many
building companies, in that it sells homes
before they build them. During the first
twenty-seven months of Home Builders
activities it has sold and built over 100
handsome homes 1t now has in hand and
on the waiting list nearly half a hundred
more. Demand is active and the manage
ment report a brilliant outlook.
Los Angeles wonderful growth has de-
veoped some interesting examples of pros
perity in the building line. Perhaps in no
other city in the whole world can the paral-
lei Of several local institutions be found. In
volume Of business transacted and generous
profits derived, there is no other phase of
the citys development more alluring and
certain of remuneration for the investor
than in these building companies.

APARTMENT HOUSES NET
GOOD RETURNS TO OWNERS
Old Favorite Flats Do Not Pro-
duCe Enough Coin-New
Dwellings

People who keep in touch with build
ing operations in this city notice quite
plainly the decrease in the number of
FLAT buildings" that were once so
popular in Los Angeles and were
erected scores at a time. In the ever
onward progressive movement the
FLAT buildings" have faded into the
background while the apartment houses
have taken their places. There are
two reasons for this. the first being
that there is an increased demand for
apartments with all their conveniences,
and the second and principal one is
that owners can derive more revenue
from money expended in an apartment
house than from the same amount
placed in flats. Among the many res
licences and other buildings planned by
local architects during the past week
are the following as reported to the
Builder and Contractor:
A. b. Benton-Plans for two-story
attic and basement residence to be
built on Gramercy place. between
Fifth and Sixth streets, for Martin
V. McQuigg.
Ye lanry-Plans for two-story frame
rooming house to be erected at $40
Beacon street at a cost of $500, for
Hiland r. Crowell.
A. c. Smith-Plans for one-story
frame store building to be erected on
Sixteenth street, near Grand avenue,
for Mr.. A. G. Colgan.
John C. Austin-Plans for five-story
and basement addition to be erected to
the Hampden Arms hotel on Fifth
street, near Olive street.
Norman F. Marsh-Plans for new
hospital to be built at intersection of
Orange and Wilmer streets for Osteo-
pathic Hospital association.
Dennis & Farwell-Plans for apart
ment house to be erected at Ninth
and Hoover streets for DIR. D. w.

ture containing 100 rooms and forty
two baths.

terial used was white marble taken
from the Inyo quarries, but short
distance north of Los Angeles. Inc
building was trimmed with lnyo
golden yellow marble, pronounced by
those who know to be the most beau
tiful marble found anywhere in the
world.
This is but one of the many build

for which were taken from the lnyo
uuarries. Others were the Mills build
ing, the old city hall, the postottlce

be opened up and properly eXplol'ed
with a view toward making them, as
was intended by nature, the greatest

taken over the Inyo marble quarries
and the sandstone quarrles at rag
staff, Ariz, and also number of
other equally valuable deposits, ana is
planning now a mill to be erected IN
Los Angeles in which the output of
these quarries will be finished and
made ready for market in quantities
sufficient to supply the demand.
The building boom now on not only
in Los Angeles and other southern
California cities. but throughout the
southwest. including Yuma, Phoenix,
Tucson, Douglas, Bisbee, FL Paso and
AIbuduerque. has made increased Ia
cilities an absolute necessity
Architects are at work upon plans
for the, new plant. and work will be
begun on the structure not later than
June 1. and it is hoped that the new
mill will be in operation by October
at the latest In the meantime, the
plants now in operation at the quar-
ries will be kept running to capacity
TO fill contracts already taken.
