LOS ANGELES REAL ESTATE
Weekly Review of Realty and

THE PEOPLE'S HERITAGE
. — s
To Be Accepted or to Be Rejected hy
the Public
A Critical Inspection ol the Doings for the Past
Six Days—The Transfer*, Permits
and Sales
The showing made for the week ending
last night by the real estate transfers re
corded and the permits for building' is
sued is a good one for this ti.ne of year.
The transfers in number were 321, of
which 143 were for nominal amounts
only. This of course hides facts and re
sults in the belittling of the aggregate of
money involved, but the intelligent and
interested individual will tind but little
difficulty in arriving at ,the approximate
monetary extent of the business trans
acted.
The value of the 321 transfers, includ
ing the nominal consideration of $1 for
"the love I bear to the party of the sec
ond part, is $378,482—1111 average in
round tigutes of 988,000 daily.
Tho number of building permits issued,
and embracing not only permits for build
ing but those for alterations, removals
ami various improvements, was thirty
two, of which twenty-four or twenty-live
are for actual building-aud building
chietiy of homes. Superintendent of
Buildings Strange was in court yesterday
and as a result no permits were issued,
though the applications were many. The
missing of but one day's business in this
department naturally lowers the daily av
erage considerably, ami while it does not
prevent a contemplated building going
up, it makes a weekly exhibit thinner to
just that much extent.
Ileal estate men. or the more conserva
tive and less hungry among them, all are
unanimous in pronouncing the real estate
condition prevailing in l.os Angeles as
healthy, solidly founded and fairly satis
iactoiy. Can so much be said of the real
estate condition of other cities of the
class? l.os Angeles is in? The Herald
ventures to reply to this question with a
negative.
Either—and they arc scarce—either a
"boom" is holding carnival, with the
prices scraping the heavens and no bot
tom beneath, or with necessary bottom
prices are depressed, or if not depressed,
and if they are kept up where they be
long, then no sales are effected.
I.os Angeles! Do her own people know
what a heritage is theirs? Do they ap
preciate what at this present moment of
time is within their grasp? Many is the
man in this city using cuss words, in tell
ing some one at a saloon bar that things
have gone to the demnition bow-wows,
who five years hence, if still here, wili
be able to point to an outside order and
say, "In 1805 I could have bought that lot
for $200 or $2300—installments at that—
and now—well, I can't touch it now,
that's all."
Here is tbe whole thing in a nutshell:
Los Angeles is surrounded by unimproved
lands—that is, agricultural and horticul
tural lands, that are worth intrinsically
from $100 to $400 per acre, ad these prices
rule bceause under right conditions the
price or investment will earn a fair inter
est, ana this is more than can be said of
such situated lands anywhere else in the
entire United States. Now, witli such a
country back of the city and taking into
consideration tbe elements of e< fmort.
climate and social conditions tell us
what is to prevent a steady increase of
value of urban and suburban lots? Why
shall not Los Angeles continue to grow,
as it has for the past five years grown?
Be conservative as one will, even to
stupidity, and even then one must admit
a future'and a brilliant one for this city.
But while tbis is all true, mistakes are
liable to occur, and this may manifest
itsel in two different ways. One is to set
too great a price upon holdings, and an
other is to overdo building.
The former invites but little criticism
here. The fault may exist, but does not
manifest itself to any serious extent. Of
overbuilding, let us kok at the situation,
for nothing so discourages a visitor or
prospective investor more than to see
around him a lot of empty buildings.
A lirst glance at the many metropoli
tan blocks on Broadway, just commenced
or ju-t being completed, may lead one to
ask. "Are not office buildings being over
done?" That there are many of them is
admitted readily. But observation cover
ing many years and in many cities sug
gests that history will lie.c repeat itself
and that soon as they aro finished they
will fiil up with tenants, who will leave
the rookeries and shambles to enjoy mod
ern conveniences, and that the places
they desert will be converted into stores
or will be torn down to, in turn, give way
to up to date structures. This is brief,
but to the point and carries accurately
the meaning it is intended to convey.
As to residences, it may be said that of
the higher class of buildings they are
never long idle. Usually their occupancy
is assured even before the ground is
broken for the|fouudations. Residences of
moderate cost are easily rentable and
dwellings of low cost always find a de
mand. It is a fact that one can see prac
tically no empty houses for residence
purposes in any part of town.
One does see, however, occasionally,
fiats for rent and the very general opin
ion is that this class of structure is cer
tainly up to the demand. Flats on Man
hattan island doubtless are a necessity,
but in Los Angeles with room to spread
and grow to the ocean, a town where, in
common witli other Southern California
towns, one wants to enjoy the leaves,
the trees, the dowers, the bees, the fruits
and breeze from ouitside a room or suite
of rooms—in such a town lie it said, fiats
can be overdone. Whether or not it is
so here can best be determined each one
for himself.
The number of houses in process of
erection in a number ot tracts has
aroused tne curiosity of the Daily Jour
nal, which counted them and with this
result:
X ohler tract 3
Wolfskin tract 48
A'darns Street tract 15
Central Avenue tract 5
Brlswalter tract 7
Conger & Wilson tract 5
Clark 4i Bryan tract 7
South Bonnie Brae tract 8
Ninth Street tract 7
The insurance business ot Los Angeles
is easily disposed of. The situation is
this: Agents aro working day and night,
rewriting in two months the business
of three years, handing back return prem
iums, of which one-iifth comes out of the
agents' pocket, and writing for three
years risks at one-half regular rates. The
result will eventually be that l. r > or 20 per
cent of the companies will go out of busi
ness and at least one-third of the local
agents will get tired and ''lie down."
There may also be an afterclap that will
possess stunning effects.
A few of the noticeable transactions of
tbe week are as follows:
On Saturday last Easton.Eldridge ft Co.
held one of their ustiaiiy eucdaMKUl sales
upon the Wooilacott tract on First street,
near the Terminal depot. It was a day
for buyers, and some of them pocketed
magnificent bargains. This was made
more so on account of.the weather, which
was cold, wet and generally disagrceaole.
The first corner on First street sold fur
$600 to Field ft Cole, and tbe remaining
lots on First street, with four exceptions,
were all disposed of at remarkably good
prices, considering the disadvantages of
inclement weather un ler which the sale
>is held. The inside lots brought from
$175 to $300. Among those who purchased
at the sale were: H. G. Wilshire. W. A.
Holabird,Richard Altschul, A. C. Ram'all,
A. D'Artois, tbe English Consul C. W.
Mortimer. G. D. McMillan, T. B. Sreso
vich, A. I. Hunt and others.
Out of sixty-seven iots fifty-seven were
disposed of for $21,000, the entire frontages
on First street, with the exception of hve
lots having been sold on either side of the
street, ami four of the inside lots only be
ing unsold.
In the Sunday issue the Herald was
aide to give exclusively tbe news of the
very great probability ot a $600,000 hotel
building upon the old Tenth-street hot:d
site. Some i*f course declare the possi
bility, others again have been so frequent
ly frightened by the cry that they refuse
to believe it; but nevertheless the project
is moie than a possibility—it might be
said, more than probability. E. D. Car
diele. the architect who drew the plans,
is not worried as to the outcome of the
scheme, and certain few others whose
names for obvious reasons cannot be
given, but who., it may be stated, are in
a position to know, think the affair is as
good as settled. More upon this question
may be given publicity soon.
