URGE MERCHANTS
TO HASTEN RETURN
Reaityraen Anticipate Rush to
Secure Locations in the
Business District ,
I teal es^cte men are so deeply im
pr<essed with the importance of the j
old business section that they say the j
merchant who delays comlnj? down j
iwn is making a serious mistake, ar- j
jruing' that owners now are in the mood I
to make liberal concessions, and that !
it is well take take them when in I
that mood. They assert that in a short I
tim«? all likely locations will be leased, i
and that those who have procrastinated
will not be able to pick and to choose,
but will have to accept what is of
fered. • /
The argument is advanced that later
there will be a big rush to the old
district, and that the reason why some
of the smaller store keepers are hold
ing back is because their leases have
some time yet to run, but when those
lapse there will be a. general exodus.
During the week there has been con
siderable Inquiry from professional
men, and several uptown houses which
were used for office purposes have been
emptied of their tenants. It is also
said that businessmen who have had
their establishments across the bay are
returning, and that ofSce buildings are
beginning to b« filled.
The return of professional .men down
town- is looked on with a great deal
of satisfaction by all classes of peo
ple. It is assumed that from now on,
£* more houses become vacant, rents will
be reduced, and thus bring back many
from the towns across the bay. It is
asserted that though there are many
houses idle, owners bo far have shown
no inclination to reduce r«nts. and that
this can only be expected when thera
are a. great many more houses show
ing th« "to let" sign.
Real estate men say that the hotels,
lodging houses and rooming houses in
the burned district are all leased, and
that so far from- there being any dis
inclination shown -to live down town
the contrary Is the case. The large
downtown hotels are filled and the
leseees of other buildings express no
' fears as to their ability to fill their
houses. -Ivl'
TO WIDEN* WASHINGTON* STREET
It Is reported that Washington street
has been selected as the one to widen
instead *>f Commercial street. Edgar
Painter in his report of the Xorth
Central Improvement association, in i
writing on this subject has the fol
lowing^to say:
It hat been concedea by er^ry one that an
other wlfle «tre«t extend isg from the ferrl«
should be et tablicbeO, cot only for tb« pnrpo**
of rellevlnjS tbe congestion at the foot of Market
rtreet, but al«o «• «o *rt*crfr>n of Montgomery
" ercrce. to girm a cood. wide street from th« j
ferries to the northern portion of the city. In j
otir lact report we stated tket thlf Item had
tx^en emitted by the prertous botrd of super
visors, bet we ere glad to cUte that It has been
r*-p!af«i by the present bo*rd.
Diirfnß the month we attended a meeting of
the pablle utilities' committee when thin <joe»- ;
tloo was beinir considered. Our original plan
tres for tie widening cf Washington street, it |
' being the present Jnnction of Montgomery are
tiiie. We opposed the extension of Montgomery

woold be rety erpeDKive, putting out of exist
<-!ii"e several fine bnildiszs contracted ulnce | the
fire and in no way tending to rclipxe the conges- :
tion on Market street. We favored the widening j
of Washington street, as we !:.= <! made a canrasa
of the situation and' found that . there . «re few
Improvement* on the south side of the. street,
wliereas on Commercial, Glay and Sacramento
streets seTeral large bnlldings hare been con
structed. V '.'. 1
The commltte* ncan'.mously decided to recom
mend the extension of Montgomery arenne to
Commercial street Just abore Sansome. then i
widening Commercial street oa the north side to '
a width of 60 feet. While It will mtt more to
wirten Commercial street on account of large
buildings on lta north side, the committee de
cided that it would be better to pay more for
this street than for Washington street, as Qom
iflwcial tstr*et begins right at the tower or cen
ter of the f«rry bclldlng. where 90 per cent of ,
the new comers to Ban Francisco arrire.
By widening Commercial street there will be ;
two wide streets coming together at the same
point end the congestion at , the foot of Market

SAX PEDRO TERRACE j!
San Pedro terrace has all those attrac
tions for tho man who wishes to' have a
home by the sea. It is on the line of
the Ocean Shore railway and a 30 min
ute ride from' the city. The .'ride is
one of the most beautiful; In' the coun
try, for the road follows- the shore l!h«,
winding in and out over the bluffs.
Sometimes the track is -fully 200 feet
above the "ocean and '.at -other" times
almost level with the sea. t)i \u25a0'\u0084
One of the most striking headlands
on the coast is that of Point San Pedro,
which, when rounded, reveals San Pedro
bay. San Pedro -valley Is the present
terminus of the Ocean 1 Shore railway,
and is IS miles \u25a0 south of San Fran
cisco, on the direct line of destiny, for
the city's growth- must, .of \u25a0 necessity,

attractions and advantages of Its Cata-
Una Island.' counterpart — a sheltering:
headland, a ''beautiful 'and safe sandy
beach, warm water and marine gar
dens for which glass bottomed boats
will shortly be furnished. There la
only one other beach on the coast,''be
sides San Pedro Terrace-by-the-Sea,
where Barker bathhouses on wheels can
be used, which will be another attrac
tion and convenience. /
Sea. bathing is one of the delights of
this i picturesque spot and the water ' is

This little road, brings ;us to the' Tobin
