 MT. Johnson is negotiating for enough l of the strip which lies between Booth street and Barnufn avenue. to connect California street proper with the pro- posed extension. If possible he will buy enough of this property for the street The proposed extension will open up large territory on the hill,
 in fact, the street will be as long as Johnson avenue. MT. Johnson owns all the property on one side of the
 proposedv extension and some of the other. side. He proposed to cover the 1 land with homes in the same manner
 as he has on Johnson avenue. The
 remarkably liberal terms on. which he builds houses for his customers has
 resulted in a large settlement in this section which he proposed to double
 this summer. The new street will connect with Nichols avenue and pro- through California street. The open
 ing of the Booth property in this

 trouble in disp osing of houses as fast as they can be built. a~
