E. Church Article Text: Real Estate Movement. The real estate movement goes on. Yesterday a cash offer of $5,000 for two blocks of land in Surfside was refused. The owners say the land in question will bring them $10,000 easily. Many people have been out to Garfield Park and vicinity within the last two days merely to see the progress of the work in the adjacent lands. Everybody ought to take a drive or a walk (for the distance isn't great)out there. Doubtless the new streets will attract as many sightseers as the Cliff drive within a few days. Among others Mr. Jas. Phelan was driven over the Park yesterday and expressed the opinion that in a little while people wouldn't know the country out there. If only the hotel schemes will come to a focus the prosperity of Santa Cruz for another five years will be assured. A Church for Ben Lomond. The people of Ben Lomond have long felt the want of a church, as heretofore there has been no suitable place to meet for worship on the Sabbath, or for funerals. To supply this want Mr. Jas. P. Pierce has deeded to the board of trustees of the M. E. church a town lot, centrally located. Rev. F. M. Willis is pushing the enterprise, and hopes to have the building enclosed before Christmas. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
