"THE MARVEL OF SUBURBS"
Rapid Growth and Development of
Town of Watts Set Forth In
a Folder
Recently the Golden State Realty
company issued .an illustrated folder,
setting forth pages of information in
reference to the new town of Watts,
which is described as "the marvel of
the suburbs." Watts has made won
derful strides in population and in
building improvements. On . January

uary 1, a year later, the population
wns 1651: estimated for January 1
next, 5000.
The company has met with very
gratifying success in the sale of lots
in the various tracts they have opened
and improved at Watts. In the Froth
man tract, the latest, they have sold
over 400 lots in the lnst few weeks,
and they say the demand is still ac
tive. The lots are sold on easy terms,
one dollar down and one dollar a
month, no Interest and no taxes. It Is
stated that the electric line is to be
extended to Santa Ana without delay,
branching off from the Long Beach
line at Watts.
During the past two years a news
paper, a general merchandise store, a
lumber yard, a grocery store, millin
ery, hardware, dry goods and confec
tionery stores, a blacksmith shop and
bakeries have been established at
Watts, and there are attractive oppor
tunities for other commercial enter
prises in the new town.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, igoj. ;
FOOTHILL HOTEL
FOR HOLLYWOOD
MODERN HOSTELRY TO FACE
THE MOUNTAINS
Handsome Structure Will Occupy the
Center of a Ten-Acre Tract — C.
J. George Leads In the
Enterprise
Rumors of the early erection of a
new hotel at Hollywood and the build
ing of another electric railway line to
connect Hollywood with Los Angeles
and the coast have been In circulation
for several weeks.
Diligent Inquiry has failed to confirm
the railroad story, but It appears that
the hotel rumor is well founded, and
that steps have already been taken to
clear the ground for the Improvement.
The chief promoter of the hotel propo
sition is C. J. George of the mining
firm of C. J. George & Co., room 700
Fay building. Mr. George is the owner
of considerable valuable property at
Hollywood. Part of his holdings In
clude about ten acres between Ivia
and Vine streets, about a block north
of Prospect avenue. This ground is
now being leveled for the erection of
the hotel, which, It Is said, will be one
of the finest structures in any of thfi
suburban cities' of Los Angeles. Plans
have not been completed for the hotel,
but it is stated that about $100,000
will be expended in the improvement.
The hotel will face the mountains,
and from all sides will be afforded a
fine view of the mountains and sur
rounding country. Mr. George, who
has been in Arizona for several days,
will return next week to give further
advancement of the notable enterprise
his personal attention.
The population of Hollywood and
the business interests generally are
growing rapidly, and the beautiful
city that is recognized as the rival of
Pasadena in beauty and progress, is
deservedly popular with Los Angeles
business men and the traveling public.
The . present magnificent Hollywood
hotel has become too small to properly
accommodate the public, and to meet
the growing demand plans have been
drawn for the enlargment of the es
tablishment.
FIGUEROA STREET IN LINE
Improvement Association Formed to
Clean Up and Put Street in
Fine Condition
The owners of Flgueroa street prop
erty situated between. Washington and
Jefferson streets have formed an Im
provement association for the purpose
of cleaning up the street and side
walks, planting trees and attending to
whatever may add to the betterment
of that thoroughfare. Much work has
already been accomplished and the ex
ecutive committee intend to make
Figueroa street one of the finest in the
city. The officers and executive com
mittee are composed of N. Bonfillo,
president; H. R. Boynton, secretary;
W. Jarvls Barlow, M. D., treasurer;
E. F. C. Klokke, W. M. Garland, J. W.
A.' Off and F. E. Brown.
