APARTMENT HOUSES NET GOOD RETURNS TO OWNERS Old Favorite Flats Do Not Pro duce Enough Coin—New Dwellings People who keep in touch with build ing operations in this city notice quite plainly the decrease in the number of "flat buildings" that were once so popular in Los Angeles and were erected scores at a time. In the ever onward progressive movement the "flat buildings" have faded into the background while the apartment houses have taken their places. There are two reasons for this, the first being that there Is an increased demand for apartments with all their conveniences, and the second and principal one is that owners can derive more revenue from money expended in an apartment house than from the same amount placed In flats. Among the many res idences and other buildings planned by local architects during the past week are the following as reported to the Builder and Contractor: A. B. Benton —Plans for two-story Httlc and basement residence to bo built on Gramercy place, between Fifth and Sixth streets, for Martin V. McQulgg. Ye lanry—Plans for two-story frame rooming house to be erected at SlO Beacon street at a cost of $7500, for Hi land R. Crowd!. A. C.

Austin—Plans for five-story and basement addition to be erected to the Hampden Arms hotel on Fifth street, near Olive street. Norman F. Marsh—Plans for new hospital to be built at intersection of Orangs and Witmer streets for Ostoo pathic Hospital association. Dennis & Farwell —Plans for apnrt mont house to be ere. ted at Ninth and Hoover streets for Dr. D. W. Stewart. Tt will be a three-story struc ture containing I^o rooms and forty two baths. John C.
