The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that the effects of such projects on cultural resources be assessed. Prior to selection of the present road extension alignment, three alternative road alignments were considered. In order to assess the effects of the potential project on cultural resources, in 2002 RBF Consulting of Walnut Creek, California requested that Archaeological/Historical Consultants (AH/C) conduct a cultural resources study of three alternative alignments. Subsequently, an Archaeological Survey of the proposed alternative alignments was completed in July 2002.

On his face still lingered that look of peace which betokens a life worthily used and gently relinquished. Many were the duties allotted him in his pilgrimage splendidly did he accomplish them! Providence permitted him the completion of his final task—a labor of love—but denied him the privilege of seeing it given to the community of his adoption.

Except for the low murmuring of the river as it flowed swiftly on to its destination or the occa- sional outcry of some restless nightbird, no sound broke the silence. Then gradually at first, hut faster and faster the east broke into dawn and the night faded slowly away. The river could he distinguished now as it threaded its way through the forest. Gianl pines and tamaracks rose in majestic grandeur upon its banks and shaded the swift green waters with their overhanging branches. Then, as the sun swung up over the mountains in the east, the forest and river seemed to spring into sudden life. The multi-colored birds of the forest awoke and filled the woods with their shrill cries as they busied themselves with getting their breakfast. Then the bank of ferns on the west side of the river parted and three deer filed slowly down to the water's edge to drink. Two of the deer were does, but the third was a large buck, handsome and well formed. His coat was a dark glossy brown and as smooth as velvet, but his crowning glory was the large, many-pronged set of antlers. They were the largest in the land and for many years their size and his skill in using them had made him monarch of the forest. He had Conquered all who had dared to fac« those majestic antlers, but he had become tired of his reign and wished to seek new lands to conquer, for the blood of a race of fighters coursed hotly through his veins and he could not for long be content in these peaceful surroundings.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Promise and Principles of Real Estate Development in an American Metropolis: Los Angeles 1903-1923 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History By Laura Redford 2014 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION The Promise and Principles of Real Estate Development in an American Metropolis: Los Angeles 1903-1923 By Laura Redford Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Janice L. Reiff, Chair This dissertation provides a new perspective to apply in the study of metropolitan development at the turn of 20th Century America. It reveals a group of entrepreneurial men whose collective contribution to the real estate industry had just as much to do with shaping urban spaces as the wealthy, more established, and power-wielding elites that are often credited with such development. Los Angeles is the case study of the dissertation because it underwent such a dramatic transformation during this time period from a small California city to the largest and most important metropolitan region on the West Coast. Key to its growth and expansion were the members of the Los Angeles Realty Board. After organizing in 1903, the members of the board sought to bring legitimacy to their profession, encourage cooperation and fellowship among real estate men, and use their collective power to create a more dynamic business environment for their industry. They earnestly engaged in local and state politics and boosterism, redefining the role of developers and brokers. Before any formal planning structures existed in Los Angeles, they served as unofficial urban planners as they laid out the physical and social landscape of the region.
