The Supervisors Reminded of Prom ises Recently Made to the Contractors. The Associated Creditors of San Fran cisco are again importuning the Board of Supervisors to make cood the amounts due the members of the association for goods furnished to the various municipal depart ments. On Saturday the association sent the following letter on this subject to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors: <?< ntleme»~~ta view of the possibility that the recent decision of the Supreme Court may have occasioned some change of sentiment ad vitm! to the interest? of the ''Associated Crecl ltorfl of the City and County of San Francisco," v. •■ '■-^j.ectfully ask your indulgence of a brief outline of our position, which has not bee u affected in the slightest degree by such deci sion. We have asked for uayment for goods supplied the City under the most extraordinary circumstances. The goods we supplied were absolutely necessary to the preservation of the corporate existence of the municipality, but there was no money iv hand with which to pay for them. We have contended and we still iuHi--i that the question whether a demand for goods sup plied under such extraordinary circumstances is a legal demand against the City has never been adjudicated. The question was riot raised in the case in which decision has just been handed down by the Supreme Court. We have contended that the Board of Super visors is empowered to pledge the credit of the City under such exigent circumstances as con fronted them at the time they pledged to us the credit of the City and that the constitu tional limitation* on the expenditure of public money never were intended to arDlyanddo not apply to the expenditure of public money for goods absolutely indispensable to the con tinued existence of the body corporate. The extreme urgency of the demard in our view of the situation justifies the pledging of the credit of the City for such purposes as the Eurchasing of Fire Department supplies, coal, ose, feed for horses or the purchase of iood for public charges, or the purchase of books and stationery for the use of the Board of Supervisors, though the City Treasury be as empty as a contribution box and the funds for the year already overdrawn. We have understood that your honorable body coincided with us in that view of your powers under such extraordinary circum stances. We truFt you will not recede from the position you have taken, but thatyou will pro ceed under the terms of the tacit under standing between us and include in the tax levy for 1895-96 an amount sufficient to meet the claims ot the creditors of the City, and specially set apart the same for the payment of the debts justly due us. If any citizen doubts the legality of your acts let him question the validity of the assessment. Inspired by your repeated expressions of a knowledge of the justice of our claims and your expressed conviction that all the equities in the situation are in our favor, we again ask you to adhere to your declared determination to do everything in your power to liquidate our claims, leaving the treacherous act of pleading the limitations to the man who is willing to volunteer for the unsavory service. THE COLLEGE EXTENSION. Its Profensors and Teacher* Now Taking Their Summer Vacation. The College Extension Society, composed principally of graduates of the State Uni versity, has abandoned its work for the summer.

REVIEW OF REAL ESTATE. Values In Outlying City Dis tricts Should Continue Firm. TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK. Magee's Summary of Loans and Releases — Umbsen's Auction for To- Day. In the review of the real estate marke t for June Thomas Magee & Sons' publica tion says: "There is no present prospect of any great increase in value of any kind of property for the next six months. The best retail property will hold its own, and may show some advances, but all other real estate is likely to be stationary, while surburban lots may recede a little more in price." "While it is conceded that the values of the best retail and semi-central business property may show some improvement, there is no indication that the price of suburban lots will come down. The recent and continued development of rapid transit, combined with the 5 cent fare to all points within the City limits, is the biggest inducement to capitalists to invest in outlying districts. They see that if they can get hold of tracts, subdivide them into lots and sell them cheap, people will buy if the property can be reached easily and quickly. There has been so much of this platting and subdividing done, and the railroads have so extended their lines in all direc tions, that it is impossible for one man or set of men to create a select residence dis trict and enjoy all the business. Com petition between the various sections, and the financial depression of 1893, have served to bring prices down, while at the same time the owners have added every improvement, such as streets, sidewalks, grades, sewers, water and gas connections, as extra inducements to would-be buyers. The extension and modernization which are going on among the streetcar lines of this City will mark minuteJy the City's growth. Few people stop to think of the close relation existing between street railroads and real estate values. The streetcar has done more to create and revolutionize American real estate values than any other one agency. This state ment would seem almost incredible to people who have always lived in European cities where certain sections of the city remain unchanged for decades. With the prospects of favorable develop ment of suburban districts, there is an ap parent tendency to an expansion of the business portion of San Francisco. Those streets which are but second-class retail streets will become in time equal to the one or two thoroughfares that are now used. It will be a case of history repeat ing itself, for all the old cities of the East have gone through the. same process. Values are bound to increase throughout I tiie semi-central business district of this City, and that is why, taking everything into consideration, San Francisco offers splendid opportunities for investment at this time. BUSINESS OF THE WEEK. In the record of deeds for last week is one of the property (32x125 on the north line of Tost street,62:U feet west of Laguna, for $15,500.

At the annual meeting of the Eureka Loan Association the board of directors decided to make a very liberal surrender value on the lirst stock series to induce holders of free shares to surrender their stock. The report of the secretary stated that most of the applications for loans are of such nature that the security offered is not sufficient, and that it is therefore, fur the safety of the association, necessary to refuse nine loans out of every ten applied for. In consequence of this money is ac cumulating in the treasury of the Eureka Loan Association, and money in the treas ury means a loss of interest. In other words, it means reduced earnings. To keep the society on a good and profitable basis the directors of this association thought it necessary to get rid of the sur plus money by buying in the oldest series of stock. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, William Niool; secre tary, D. Hirschfeld; treasurer, Daniel Meyer; directors— Eugene W. Levy, James H.Stevens, D. Hirschfeld, Emil Meyer, James A. White, J. A. Kemmel, George W. Brooks and William Nicol. At the annual meeting of the Golden West EuiJding and Loan Association held Monday, July 1, the following directors were chosen: President, G. Brenner; vice- E resident, Joseph Weil; secretary. Sol J. evy; treasurer, Reinsrein & Eisner; di rectors — S. W. Levy, G. Brenner and Leo pold Baer. During the year loans to the anfount of $20,(100 were repaid. The association has $00,400 loaned on real estate. Stock Jive years old on which $00 per share has been paid has a bouk value of $7(i 77. EEV. J. B. EIDEOUT.
