In all maps of twent'y-nine tracts were submitted for approval, as compared with thirty-three during the week preceding. None of the maps were rejected, although a number were held over for further consideration. The following is. In part, the report of the committee: Each site is so situated and platted that its glorious view can never be cut off, and covered by suitable restrictions which, without being prohibitive, insure its permanent beauty and value, Remarkable 'Values These big sites, -125 200 ft and larger are priced as low as $3,000 including improvements, and are remarkable values when compared with any similar property in Southern California. pletion with many others which are well under way and just starting.

Beauty at Moderate Cost number of these are particularly noteworthy because of their unusual beauty achieved at so moderate a cost; showing how readily Flintridge's wonderful natural setting adapts itself to the many different types of homes in Construction Started Early Last Fall Addition Will be Completed During July Department Store Growth is Consistent Completion of the eteel framework for the Fourth-street addition to the Broadway Department Store waa announced yesterday by an official of the concern. Construction of the building, which will be ten storlea in height with a basement, nub-basement and second nub-basement when completed, was started early last fall. The structure has a frontage of eighty feet on Fourth atreet and extends back 123 feet. Exterior facing- of the addition will be of terra cotta and glazed brick to conform to the appearance of the present Broadway Department Store Building and all the latent architectural developments will be Incorporated In the construction, the official stated. When the new building Is taken over by the department store some time in July, 119,790 square feet will be added to the space occupied by the concern, making a total of more than 677,000 square feet in all.

This addition of space makes the fifth time that the store has had to enlarge or add to its business quarters because of Increased trade. The Bite of the original store butlding in 1S98 covered an area of 12,000 square feet which wa increased in 1900, two years later, to 19,520 square feet. Again In 1902 the square footage occupied by the store was increased to than twice the amount of tho original site. In the covered by the various departments was Increased to square feet and nine years later, when business In preneral was not active In Los Angeles, the store occupied an area of 142,000 square feet. "This consistent growth has bepn the outcome of the conservative policy and broad mlndedness of the founder, the late Arthur Letts," said the official In commenting on the new addition.

"Twenty-eight years ago Mr. Letts came here from Seattle with J500 and took over the Broadway Department Store. Since then the tremendous business which has made necessary the erection of the Fourth-street building has been built up by Mr. Letts and an able organization." Four passenger and three freight elevators will be Installed In the new building. There will also be two plunger-type elevators with a carrying capacity of 30,000 pounds for carrying freight from the sub-basement where the freight will be received.

The ventilating plant, paper baling rooms and incinerator will be located In the second sub-basement. MINERAL DEVELOPMENT WINNIPEG. Work will commence this year on the erection of a hydro-electric power plant on the Grass River, in far Northern Manitoba, 110 miles northeast of The Pas. It Is well known that the great rivers of the North such as the Kelson and the Churchill, have vast potentialities In the matter of the development of power, and business men anticipate that In future years use will be made I for hundreds of purposes of much I of this power now going to waste. The plant to be erected this year will be located on the Grass River, near Herb Lake to serve the Bingo mine.

British capital Is largely responsible for the proposed new Installation. Keen Interest is taken In the project by people In England and It is not anticipated that any difficulty will be experienced in securing the additional funds which will be required. The building of this power plant Is the first evidence of the expansion to come. It has been conceded for a long time that one success would mean the making of a real mining area and the shareholders and directors of the Bingo Company, both here and In Britain, are satisfied that they have a real money-maker of a large size. In addition to the power plant there will be built at the Bingo mine a 100-ton mill for the treatment of ore.

There Is said to be enough gold In the ore now on the dump to provide for all the money which up to date has been spent on the property. The Sydney E. Junkins Company, has made a complete survey of the proposed site of the power plant of the country through which the transmission line will pass, and of the site of the mill. British people who have put money Into the development work up to the present are quite ready to Increase their investments. H.

R. Drummond-Hay, chairman of the Canadian board of the company, has Just arrived In Canada from London, where he attended the annual meeting of the British shareholders. The Bingo mine Is reached by proceeding from The Pas eighty-one miles by rail then twelve miles by road and eleven miles by water. The Manitoba government has built a good road to the landing, and there Is a large boat on the lake. The hope Is entertained that power will be available early in the spring of 1925, which will then be turned on and the mill will be operated by Ita use.

The developments already made at the property have attracted many prospectors to the district, and additional very rich discoveries were made during- the past summer.
