chased two lots, each 20x60 feet, from
V.'llllam John, and Margaretta Michael
.for $40,000. There- Is a small street
in the back. Derby place, but this ad
ditional frontage was not considered
particularly in making the price. The

These deals are considered to "he il
tustrative of movements in the realty
market in certain sections whore the
MAXY BLOCKS M2VKI.ED
Tlie most extensive movement to
promote an entire section now in
progress la that tinder way In tlie Sun
set and Oceanside districts. Before the
extensive grading operations in that
part of the rity have been completed,
milos of frontage will have been made
available for the building of - homes,
stores and churches by the creation
of level blocks that have been simply
pand wastes from the time of the set
tlement of San Francisco until the
grading- of II street set things in mo
tion on a wholesale scale.
The hauling down of hills in that
neighborhood and the corresponding
filling up of great hollows in a few
weeks, at- low cost, is considered by
realty brokers to be significant of the
cheapness and speed with which a site
for San Francisco's coming exposition
may be leveled and made ready for the
exposition buildings. There is no other
<-ity in the United States where similar
work could be accornplishedfas speedily
and for as little money as in San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5 ? 1910.
Four new buildings which are to be erected in substantial manner in different sections of the city.
INVESTORS SHOW
FIRM CONFIDENCE
Four Edifices That Represent
Large Outlay for Realty
and Construction
The Mission turn verein is about to
erect a building for its own. uses at the
southwest corner of Eighteenth and
Lapidge. streets at a cost for the struc
ture, exclusive of the .value of the land,
of $40,000.
To get a building embracing all
available ideas a prize . was offered to
architects to compete. Seven architects
responded. The plans .'Selected were
prepared by A. Reinhold Denko. From
the drawings and plans it appears that
the verein will be well accommodated.
The ground space, which will be en
tirely covered, is 94x95 feet.
On the ground floor of the building
there will; be a gymnasium and a store.
The gymnasium will be' s2x62 feet. \u25a0; It
will be provided with; dressing rooms,
shower baths, all the apparatus em
ployed in a first class gymnasium -arid
all conveniences/ A social meeting
room will also be on the tirst floor.'
On the-first of two mezzanine floors
will be. h large banquet room, - -10x68
feet, and also a : lodge room, 30x30 feet.
On the second noorfi2xSt feet: spnre. is
devoted to a ballroom and auditorium,
and 30x30 feet is set apart fora bar
room. The remainder of the tb?or is for
a ladies' parlor. 25x35 feet In size. The
top mezzanine floor will give space for
two lodge ro> «ms. 30x30 feet each, also
anterooms.
»-A;bowling alley and. cellar room for

with fed Spanish' tiles." the general
type is •> that of - the Spanish missions.
The warm, red. colgring: of, the.' tiles;- the
light cream tinting of the walls. and the
rich dark line of the- trimmings will
produce a pleasing-effect.

"There is . so; much going on at Din

tokeep track of. things." said 11. C.
Tuchsen of Baldwin & Howell. "The
jnoney has been collected for tho street
work and a contract is about.to be let

Electric, lights have been installed by

"Jlarket street is pre-eminently the
retail street of San Francisco," said
R. E. Fazackerley of Baldwin & Ho well.
"Our experience is that anything of
fered for retail business . purposes in
this thoroughfare is rented more readi
ly than others.'
.: "The lower /portion of Market street
is affording' opportunities' for retail
business which " are' .- v»jfy favorable.
When one .considers that more :than
50,000. persons cross the. bay daily thl*
naturally means ,a- great many x moiQ
travelers Jn the lower 'section of Mar

eled from. Kearny street east .to the
ferry arid ~ a business bringing thor

; "I can-name several firms that have
adhered closely to lower Market street
as a business locatipn and have done
well. ' One, firm in the aluminum busi- ;
ness, has- been in this section: of Mar
ket-Street for many years. 1 Others in
various lines have found that at a store
rental of $200 to $300 they' can tlo a
