4 LOS ANGELES REAL ESTATE Weekly Review of Realty and Building 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. Bids will close today for the erection ot the new Third Presbyterian church, corner of "Hill and Sixteenth streets.
