SAN PEDRO, July 15.— A boom of
sufficient proportions to attract hun
dreds of speculators to the ."harbor
city" today has struck San Pedro.
Many thousands of dollars' worth of
business and residence property has
changed hands during; the last week,
the buyers being mostly San Pedro
and Los Angeles people.
Abbott & Stacy, real estate dealers,
report that residence property Is most
In demand, the tendency being toward
t the high ground in the southwestern
part of the city. This firm handled a
large amount of this kind of .property
today. *
The reason for the remarkable act
ivity is said to lie in the fact that
H. E. Huntlngton has • been ■ buying
several hundred acres of the vacant
land to the north ami ivost of the city,
which Is destined to be the manufac
turing and warehouse section of the
city, being adjacent to the water front.
It Is known now that he also Intends
to extend his trolley line to the outer
harbor at once and to build a loop
which will give San Pedro a local line
through the best residence section.
Several of the. biff holdings of land
to the north of the city have been pur
chased^ real estate firms, and work
will be begun at 'once to subdivide
these, lay out streets and put in the
necessary improvements to put them
on the market. A notable sale was
that of about sixty acres of the" Dodson
rnnch, adjoining the city limits on the
north. Grading and street making will
begin on this tract on Monday morn
ing, and the orders are to put on all
of the teams and men possible, so that
the tract may be ready for placing on
the market Juat as soon as human ef
fort can do it. Georse H. Peck will
handle this property.
