they planted trees and flowers and |
beautified it. Bridges span the gulch .
at street intersections and the slopes |
are covered with closely cropped /
greensward, where children tumble |
and roll without any thought Of look |

This gulch attains its best landscape |
excellence at Balboa park, selected I
for the erection of the exposition
buildings. One year ago the exposi-
tion managers had set out 10000
trees and a countless number of
shrubs that lend ornate color to the
scene. Here again the public spirit
Of the citizens was brought into play.
The park was too new to meet the
tastes Of land gardeners, but the citi-
zens were bound to have nothing but
the best and they found way to
their ambition. Scores of palms, date
trees, magnolias and other arboreal
giants were scattered throughout the
city in private grounds and 1t was
decided to remove as many OF those
as was necessary to Balboa park.
These monsters Of the forest were
taken up bodily by the roots, circled
with huge wooden tubs and hauled
off to the park, where they win re-
! lmain until after the exposition, when
they will be returned to their former
grounds. Some few of these old
timers will be allowed to rest in the
public park. for most owners Of
homes have so many rich trees that
they can spare a few If the city is to
be benefited
SO 1t is all the way through the
lives and commercial careers of the
citizens Of San Diego They are first
for their city and second for them
selves. They are a set of boosters
who keep silent when they cannot
speak good word for their neighbor,
and who are always right in the
collar when it comes to pulling for
their adopted home

| Among the many men whose enter.
prise has identified him with the
prosperity of the new San Diego is
NJ. Han, a brother Of II ] Hall OF
the Hall Liquor company of Tonopah
who ranks with the millionaires Of
the southern metropolis He made 4
fortune in real estate by treating pa
irons with a consideration that is al
novel in California as elsewhere. HI
began by building bungalows close tC
the business center and offerinl
them on time payments. For $l0OI
cash and payments of $50 a montl
he offers homes within six minutes
walk of the center of town, on beau
tiful Grant Hill with the grandes
marine view that can never be oh
structed. Mr.. Hall, or Honest" Mix
Hall as his friends refer to him, ha
never been known to take man
money and then holding him to
Shylock bargain In the few case
where sickness or distress prevente
the buyer from carrying out his cor
tract Mr.. Hall has invariably r'
turned the payments. In justice t
San Diego property values, it is we
to explain that such generosity ha
a. never been taxed strongly

The bungalow type Of constructic

NJ rooms, finished in hardwoods, wi
he every modern convenience, and Il
he first man to complain of the cost h

the the acreage or opening stree

other investment he could make.
