REAL ESTATE
AND
BUILDING NEWS
Unfavorable criticisms are made by
r^al estate operators when comparing
rents for down town offices and those
«J stores. They assert that the owners
of the big buildings are working on a
reasonable basis when they lease offices,
l>ut there are some who persist in de
manding too high an amount for leases
of stores. They say that the prices!
asked are prohibitive and had such ef
fect that one of the partners of one of,
the largest retail establishments, after
locking the situation over carefully i
and earnestly endeavoring to get a !
reasonable lease down town, threatened
to renew his lease up town. This:
threat, '!t is understood, caused the !
partner to be sent for and negotiations
t ere reopened for a lease at favorable
i : rms.
One qf the best signs in the regen
eration of the city Is the moving down
tnv.n of the profesisonal men. During
the week there have been many leases
risned by lawyers and doctors for of
fices down town and this will compel
the attendance of a great number of
people in Vhat was once the burned
•-listrict, and so help build up the re
tail district.
Physicians will be located In Geary
street. This means that stores will have
to come down town more rapidly than
They intended. At one time it was
thought that the professional men were
in no haste to change their quarters.
This is disproved by the fact that dur-
Ir.g the present week three firms of
lawyers have left their offices in one
street and have secured locations in
Market street.
HO SEES OF LAWYERS
Attorneys, real estate men say, are
flocking to Market street and the big
buildings, like the Claus Spreckels, the
Humboldt bank building, and the one
that is being put up by Garrett Me-
Tnerney will house a great number of
lawyers. The Huinboldt will be the
first, it Is said, of the big buildings that
will be completely ready for" tenants,
and the bank people are making a
specialty of lawyers. The fact that At
torney General "U'ebb will have his of
fices there and also Code Commissioner
J. W. Wiley, they believe, will add to
Us popularity. The Mills building man
agers ere In touch with their old ten
.iitits and it Is believed they will get
ck a great number of them. The same
rents that were paid before the fire
will be asked, it Is understood. The new
b-uilding on which the Russ house stood
Is making a bold bid for patronage and
has succeeded in getting a number of
t-r.ar.ts.
In. Pine street between Kearny and
Montgomery the Tevis estate will re
b;;iid Ihe market and is in touch with
:'i>jj:e of the old tenants. It is feared,
' cv-i-vt-r, by some of the old market
tm-'n that rents will be raised and they
:i:«- putting forward the argument that
t will be too early, even when the
">u Siting is finished, to demand a rental
". c:;ctss of that which obtained be
:-jr..' the fire.
Thy office and, store building occupy
iag the old Lick house site promises J
\u25a0> I»e popular and the report is that
- -veral leases have already been
signed. c .
The buildings farther down town
. have met with no difficulty in getting
tenants. It Is recorded that one owner
who has been asking -a high lease for
a Market street building has finally
consented to ask what he would have
asked before the fire and at once se
cured a tenant. His case Is being held
up as an example to other landlords.
It is asserted, however, that the re
ports circulated as to high sums paid
for leases have had much to do with
the present state of affairs. There is
a certain class of people who name
fictitious sums for leases and the con
sequence is that owners, fearful that
they are not getting as much as their
neighbors, base their leases on what
%'\u25a0* reported to have been signed up.
This is not good policy for it really
delays the advancement of the down
town district. The same may be said
of sales. Rarely is the real price
r.fcmed, and the result Is not favorable,
for it lnfiates already inflated ideas
and blocks 6ales.
SEEKI.VG HOMES
There seems to be no abatement In
the dem&nd for homes and some sales
of lota In the Western addition and
also in lots overlooking the bay have
been made. In the rents for flats there
has been a noticeable reduction. In
the North Beach district a flat owner
complained bitterly that though it was
freely reported there was a scarcity
of these domiciles his flats would, not
rent. The reason "was that they were
held beyond the reach of people who
live In email flats. . An agent advised
hita to make a radical reduction in his
rentals, and the places were taken be
fore the paste was dry on the bills.
One flat was vacated In the morning
and a tenant moved In on the same
afternoon, which goes to show that
when a fair price Is asked it will be
accepted.
The same complaint la made of high
rents In other parts of the city. Some
of the operators declare that rents will
come to a fair basis within a few
weeks. The hopeful sign is, they say.
that some of the new flats which have
bees, built are lowering their rents and
are so quickly taken that It will In
duce others to do the same thing.
They also say that rents • will have
to come down because so many busl
' nessmea are g"oing down town and the
houses they occupied as offices will be
thrown -again upon the- market as
dwelling places. Big sums were asked
for office room, which the owners can
not" possibly expect for dwelling rooms,
and so there seems some hope that
rents for houses may be again normal.
A GROWING SECTION'
As has been frequently pointed out
in these columns, the Mission is mak
ing one of the most rapid advances In
th« regeneration of the city. Mission
street from Sixteenth presents one
>\u25a0 of the most animated spectacles in
.San Francisco. The street is thronged
with a -well dressed and prosperous
people. The stores are crowded and
the markets, which are second to none,
have a display which would be a credit
to the markets of the richest city in
the world-
All the leading banks have branches
in the Mission, and one of the best
known banks in the state sooa will
o-ect a handsome structure for the ac
commodation of Its branch, establish
ment. The Mission Is well supplied
wiih theaters and has splendid car fa
cilities.
A correspondent writing from the ,
Mission has this to say:
' -WhU we want are more parks, bet
ter streets, and if some public spirited
man would bring salt water here and
> build a swimming tank^and baths I am
sure he would realize a high interest
on the money invested."
The Mission in a few years will be
. the home of a large community. W. H.
• Crocker Is opening a tract of land n<-.ar
the Mission road which shortly, will be
covered with homes and which will aid
In building up population. ..
There ie no part <A tia« city wbica;
has so assured a future as the Mission,
and its enterprising merchants should
experience no difficulty in securing
those things which 'are suggested in
the letter quoted.
A LARGE SALE
The largest transaction of the week
in city real estate Is announced by
Baldwin & Howell. The sale consisted
of a water lot 45:10' by 137:6 on the
south side of Market street, 45:10 west
of Spear, which was recently sold by
the Doe estate to TV. F. Perkins and H.
O. Trowbridge, who paid the Doe estate
190,000 for the property. Baldwin &
Howell have resold it for them at an
advance of nearly {10,000, the actual
price being $98,500. It Is gratifying to
know that the president of one of our
leading savings banks, Nicholas Ohlandt,
is one of the new owners, the property
having been purchased by him and his
partner, John A. Buck. The purchase
was made for an investment, and al
though the present rental pays less
than 4 per cent on the Investment, it is
conceded that the property is worth
much more than It was sold for. Prior
to the lire the lot would have readily
commanded 9125,000, and it will no
doubt bring this figure as soon as the
street work on Market street has been
completed.
G. H. UMBSE.Y &. CO.
G. H. Umbsen & Co. report business
slightly improved for the past week
and report, among others, the following
sales:
For A. P. Donahue, lot In the east line of
Alpine street, 119 feet north of Fourteenth.

HAVWARD PARK
Baldwin & Howell have announced
that they have sold all of the lots in
subdivisions Nos. 1 and 2. Hayward
park, and owing to the fact that the
new law prohibits the sale of any lots
until after the final map of the sub
division of the property has been re
corded no more lots will be offered for
sale in Hayward park until the sur
veyors have completed the survey of
subdivision No. 3 and the map has been
accepted by the supervisors of San
Mateo county and placed of record. In
the meantime, surveying work is act
ively in progress and contracts will be
let for the construction of sewers, -water
and gas pipes and for the grading and
macadamizing and curbing of all of the
avenues and .the construction of arti
ficial stone sidewalks around blocks,
and this will Involve an expenditure
between $40,000 and $50,000. Ine man
ner in which Hayward park is being
improved Is commendable. It not only
saves purchasers great expense In the
future, but it enables them to immedi
ately construct a home , where every
convenience in the way of water, gas
and electricity Is at hand. The sewer
system in Hayward park is complete in
every respect. An outlet sewer nearly
8,000 feet long was constructed some
months ago, extending from Hayward
park through the lands of Mrs. Rose,
east of the railroad, and down to the
bay. The sewer system is, therefore,
entirely independent of the-one in the
city of San Mateo. Baldwin & Howell
announce that the lots In subdivision
No. 3 will all have double frontages.
Every block will have a 20 foot alley
way through it, in which will be laid
the sewers and gas and water pipes.
This will obviate the necessity of tear
ing up any of the streets or sidewalks
when building commences. In addition
to this advantage, the alleyways afford
a convenient access to and from sta
bles or garages which may be con
structed in the rear of the lots. It was
at first determined not to open the
Peninsula hotel, which, by the way, is
located In the center of Hayward park,
until the first of next April, but the
work has progressed so satisfactorily
and the demand for rooms is so urgent
that Manager Doolittle is now advocat
ing the policy of rushing the work as
much as possible, with a view of open
ing about January 1, 1908.
SPECK A CO.
Speck & Co announce the following
sales:
For F. A. Greenwood to a clleat of the firm,

DUMBARTON* SELLS FAST
Dumbarton is experiencing one of

purchasers. The lots are. being sold
cheaply and to this fact is attributed
the success of the sale.^
Dumbarton will .be brought, within |
San Francisco's residential .zone with
all the territory north of Palo Alto by
the completion' of the Bay Shore 'cutoff,
and the early completion of ( the Dum
barton cutoff i* will ' bringv-. overland
frelgrht directly, into San ;-Francisco.
Thih means, it is' believed,- that manu
facturing'communities will develop be
tween San Francisco s and Dumbarton
bridge. Encouragement to factory
owners is doubled, it is said,, by rea
son of the fact that the Southern Pa
cific company has ""granted terminal
fiejgrht rates to K'.'lwood City tnd
Dumbarton. In this way the site of
the proposed suburb of Dumbarton will
profit .by both the Bay Shore and the
Dumbarton lines.

NORTH FAIR OAKS; OFFERS
ATTRACTIVE ADVANTAGES
The Bay Shore Cutoff Makes It Con-
venient and Accessible for
"#ii-Vv Residence: \u25a0
Inquiries among- the '. handlers of
peninsula property prove beyond doubt
that the tendency of the average home
seeker is to travel south. Government
reports show this region has the best
average weather in the state. The Bay
Shore cutoff is opening a* section hith
erto impossible to most buyers who
sought a residence district.' The in
troduction of the half hourly.commuta
tion "service, with the reduced rates
and time schedule planned throws this
region open to aIL j
! ' Great enthusiasm has been shown. by
those, who have already: made pur
chases. A special train -is'* run each
Sunday to Nor th : Fair Oaks and always
Is crowded. This speaks -well for the
individual buyer, as well- as the lo
i cality. , ; Many of the purchasers are
planning their homes to build at once,
adding materially to the value of the
property. 'A "year hence will see the
values considerably increased over the
present prices, it is . believed.
. The many. who are taking advantage
of the opportunities afforded by North
Fair Oaks cannot fail to attest its popu
larity. The natural beauty of the re
gion, combined .with its bright, \u25a0 clekr
weather, make it impossible forit to
be overlooked by the suburbanite or
the enterprising investor, S.M. Snyder
of the North Fair Oaks tract reports
500 sales for the first-month and still
better prospects for. the second, which
is the most encouraging proof for the
promoters and those who invest.
