Features

Patton e. Longley company. who
have just placed Inglewood Bungalow
acres on the market, state that they
are meeting with phenomenal success.
Twenty acres have been sold and the
inquiries at their office have been so
numerous that they have been obliged
to increase their sales force.
Inglewood Bungalow acres are 10
Gated at the very highest point on
the Inglewood- -Redondo car line, and
adjoin the city of Inglewood on the
south. 1t contains 450 acres and in
Guides the famous Lockhaven tract;
also the well known land of the Ingle-
wood Land company and the Ingle-
wood Investment company. This Is
the last large tract of land on the car
line, @and for this reason will be the
last acre subdivision to be placed on
the market SO close to the city of Los
Angeles In the southwest.
A special feature of the tract is the
extensive improvements, which in
clude the laying of gas mains; also
piping the water throughout the tract.
All of the streets will be highly i'm
proved, having black acacia trees and
palms of the Washingtonia variety
in the parl1ings, sidewalks and cement
curbs, while the streets will be oiled
and rolled in keeping with the general
high standard of improvements.
About half of the tract is laid out
in half acres and the balances Is di-
vided into acre tracts.
This piece of land is right on the
electric car line and is in tho very
center of development, as it is sur
rounded on every side by improved
places, residences and attractive bun
galows, which all goes to make up an
ideal residence district.
Many of the old purchasers who
bought and built their homes here are
very enthusiastic over the new sub
division, and are delighted that here
at last there is an acre tract with gas,
electricity, telephones, water and all
the conveniences that make country
life worth living. They are buying
more land and a number of them have
expressed a desire to add several
acres to their present holdings.
The Los Angeles Railway company
is completing plans to install a twenty
minute service on the Inglewood-Re-
glewood Bungalow acres and will con-
meet with the new cutoff above Haw-
thorne.
The new car barns will be located
right at the curve where the short line
cars will leave the present road. This
alone has done much to send land
values upward, and in measure is
transfers in this district.

ing of the new car shops will mean an
increase of the population of no less
than 500 families, consisting of the
officers and clerical force. who are now
making inquiries for reservation of
