Propositions That May After Topography of San Francisco
EXTENSIVE PLANS
FOR IMPROVEMENT
Rincon Hill, North Beach Tun
nel, Leveling Sansome, Roads
Through the Cemeteries
Four propositions are now under con
sideration that are calculated to change
the topography of San Francisco. An
agreement has been reached which
seemingly removes the last obstacle in
the way of regrading Ilincon hill.
The Jordan Park improvement as
sociation is about to ask the super
visors to condemn strips of, land through
the cemeteries in the city so that streets
may be opened.
At the north end of the city there
are two propositions that attract in
terest. One Js the running of a tunnel
from Sutter street under the hills, over
to North beach. The other is the cut
ting down of the grade in Sansome
\u25a0irect so tSifl.t it may be a practically
level thoroughfare its entire course,
nivrox hill grade:
The first of these proposition, relat
ing to Ilincon hill, is more prominent
than the others at this time, simply
because it probably will be realized
within a very short time. Back of this
is the Yerba Buena company, which
has made an application through the
streets committee of the board of su
pervisors for a permit to construct the
spur track to connect with that of the
United Railroads In Kentucky street.
Cievea prep*rty owners, whose dam
ages aggregate a little more than $63,
900. have reported to the supervisors
that a satisfactory arrangement has
been made between them and the Yerba
Buena company for the Rincon hill
*rra«*ing. Prior to the issuance of a
permit for the spur track an appro
priation of $15,000 will be added to re
grade the city's part of Hawthorne
street on Rincon hill.
STREETS THROCGU CEMETERIES
lhe project to grade through the
cemeteries is calculated to add a large
sum to the assessment roll of San Fran
cisco, amounting to many thousands of
dollars. This action is made possible
through the recent action of the su
preme court of the United States in
sustaining the validity of the city ordi
nance forbidding the interment of any
more bodies within the confines of the
i-Uy and county of San Francisco. This
proposition has been discussed at vari
ous times within the last few years,
but no work was authorized because
the whole matter was tied up in liti
gation. There are 48 city blocks con
tained in Laurel Hill, Masonic, Odd Fel
lows and Calvary cemeteries.
Concerning the tunneling to get to
North beach by an easy grade and the
cutting down of Sansome street to
facilitate teaming it may be said that
strong pressure will be brought to bear
in advocacy of both enterprises.
OPEN LARGE TRACT OF
FARM LAND IN YOLO
Cox & Co. Will Place 3,-000 Acres
on Market
Cox & Co., a real estate firm of 209
Monadnock building, composed prin
cipally of Charles J. Cox Jr. and George
}\ .Shaner. ha-ve recently promoted the
Irrigated Valleys Land Company of
California, which is incorporated for
5150,000. They purchased the Wood
land tract of over 3,000 acres in the
western part of Yolo county, in the
heart of the Sacramento valley. By
» lever engineering they will throw this
entire body of land under irrigation.
This is considered by the people of Yolo
county to be a big thing, as it will
revolutionize the methods and farming
industry in this section.
Cox & Co. are the exclusive selling
p.gents for the Irrigated Lands Com
pany of California, the holding com
pany and owners of the Woodland
1 rart. This company is composed of
William Hetzner A. 11.
Uergstrom. Eric Lange, Charles 11.
Wagner and Charles J. Cox. The en
gineers for the subdivision of . this
tract and the building of the irrigation
pystem are M. R. Daniels of San Fran
«isco and P. >f. Ashley of Woodland.
They are building a fine irrigation sys
tem, taking water out of Cache creek,
which is the only outlet of Clear lake,
and are building a canal large enough
lo irrigate 10.000 acres.
The company will give the settlers
fr«*e water rights and charge no irri
gation tax. which will make the cost
of irrigation very low. For the pur
pose of handling this tract and doing
a general land business. Cox & Co. will
establish branch offices at Woodland,
with William Chancy manager; at Sac
ramento, with CJeorse JC. Cox manager,
and J. J. Shaner will manage the tian
Jose office.
They have also purchased three tracts
of land near Los Gatos. which they
are now having subdivided into acre
and half acre lots, to be placed on the
market in May for high class country
homes.
GLEN PARK DISTRICT
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Development Work Going: For
ward on Large Scale
Durlnsr the Last f>w months consid
erable development work has been go
ing on through the Glen park district.
Not only have owners been erecting'
homes, but property suitable for sub
division along the *»ast t>PJpe of the
fillls adjacent to the park is being im
proved preparatory to being placed on
the market in the near. future..*
The Crocker estate company appears
to be quietly working out plans for the
development of its holdings in this lo
cality. The estate has recently ex
pended large sums of money for street
improvements and for improving Glen
park to make ft one of the sight seeing
points of interest in San Francisco.
There is a movement to secure the
park for the city, to provide the chil
dren of the Mission with a playground
and other attraction*."

WILL DIVIDE BIG
SAN RAFAEL TRACT
Federal Realty Syndicate Pur
chases 500 Attractive Acres
in Marin County
The recent purchase by ; the Fed
eral realty syndicate of nioro than 500
acres of land at Sail Rafael" is one of
the largest and ' most important trans
actions in suburban property that has
been repr -tedrfor some time.
The p perty Is . known as the Golf
Links - tract and is one of the .most
valuable tracts available for subdi
vision within easy reach of the city.; It
has long been sought by local real es
tate dealers, but owing to the fact that
it was controlled by. the Marin country
club all efforts to secure it heretofore
have been in vain. -v*'
The Federal realty syndicate will cut
the tract up into large town lots /and
villa sites. It proposes building a large
number of homes of such a character
as to insure the tract being one of the
most attractive residence districts.
While the Federal realty syndicate
is a new company, it. has made rapid
strides. The directors and advisory
board are William H. High, Charles F.
Runyon, Allan Pollok, Theodore Gier,
Dr. A. G. Giannini, A. W. Scott Jr.,
James Woods, Byron Mauzy, A. B.
.Smith, W. D. Fennimore, E. M. Webster
and Benjamin S. Brown.
Corporations formed for the especial
purpose of buying land, developing it,
erecting the buildings and operating
the property as an investment is the
most practical plan of co-operation
In large real estate transactions.
These companies, by selling . their
stock and securities in small denomi
nations and on installments, make it
possible for people of moderate means
to participate in this class of Invest
ments, giving them the same oppor
tunities that usually fall .to the capi
talist. Every financial .institution that
facilitates accumulation and protects
what has been accumulated renders a
public service.

DEFECTS FOUND
IN PUBLIC WORKS
Merchants' Association Inspect
I-.'; tion Bureau Deserving -of
Hearty; Support
Many defects have been discovered by
the bureau of inspection of the. Mer
chants' association -In the. public works
performed under* the -San -Francisco
bond issues of 1904 and -.'19.08. Specimens
of ;the bad work or bad materials that
have been detected are specified in the
last issue of the Merchants' Association
Review as follows: *
"Some poor spots. in^ides of concrete
sewer will have to be picked out and
patched.
"Fourteen yards of inferior rock de
livered. City inspector notified by bu
reau inspector and -contractor ordered
to mix same with large proportions of
good rock.
"Section of invert leaked, showing
porous concrete. Ordered: picked out
by city inspector.
"Underburned vitrified brick deliv
ered and rejected;- later .used . foj, man
holes, and good for.this purpose.
"Small leak in side, wall (of cistern)
five feet from bottom; will be repaired
later. .. \u25a0 \u25a0 . •\u25a0;\u25a0-»- - ' .: - '•'.
"Pipes remain in the way and may.
have to be concreted in, thus -endan
gering • the structure (cistern). This
bureau is using its influence toward
having these obstructions removed.
"Water tank: in attic (of school) not
securely set. City architect has ordered
it made secure- on request of bureau.
"Excavation for footings, completed
and shows poor foundation (for school).
City architect planned to increase: area
of footings, buti bureau inspector pro
tested against proceeding without fur
ther investigation,, and therefore ad
ditional tests are being-made. ;
"Safety valve lacking on boiler of
heating system (school). City architect
notified, and safety valve will be set.
PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS
In view of these and other similar
discoveries the »Merchants' j association,
speaking for hundreds of " the largest
business: houses mi San -Francisco, calls
for a-strong support for the inspection
bureau and makes the following claims:
"Future generations of -San Fran
cisco are going to ; look back, and thank
those citizens of the present who are
taxing themselves in time and. contri
butions to: see that the: public works
under the bond issues '"of 1004 and 119081 1908
are properly executed: provided, of
course, that the latter do see to it.
"If not properly executed these: im
provements are not going to be worth
the cost, and yet that cost will. have to
bo met, -in part, by the tax payers of 45
years hence. It would be a sorry serv
ice to them to incumber" their city for
them, to pile up a debt for them to {
meet on the ground that they were to
reap the benefit, and then leave them>
a legacy not of value received for their
inherited debt, but of heavy charges
for maintenance of choked and broken
sewers, poorly constructed public build
ings and a fire protection system that
would fail to protect. :
"The San Francisco of today is not
paying for' these things. It;is borrow
ihgto pay ; for them. Borrowing, when
your "credit is 'good, is a delightful
transaction, almost as agreeable as
spending what you borrow. If we are
to have the fun of the borrowing and
the spending, absolutely it is our moral
duty to soe that those who have to suf
fer the pangsof paying shall' feel sat
isfied with what we bought them with
their money; "that th#y shall be ablo to
rely for the protection of their lives i
and property on the honest construe- J
tlon of their public buildings, on the
hidden reinforcement of their, fire cis
terns and reservoirs, on the ;\u25a0 joints and
valves of their-high pressure mains, on
tlie effective working' condition of Ithe
miles of sewers burled under ground.
"Of course,: we are taxing ourselves
for interest, 1 and of course payment on
the principal will begin in three years;
and so we owe -it to . ourselves to' see
that the money Is well; spent. But, also,
in 1955 ther»»will be taxed to pay the
last installment on the. fire protection
bonds thousands of San Franciscans
that are not ; yet born and have .had
nothing whatever to say about that tax.
If the. San Franciscans of today, are
struggling to. provide those other un
born thousands, with taxable property,
how much more is it-their duty tq^see
that the property Is l safe and that: the
taxes they, will pay on it are for anob
jectWiat.will do them some good!
POSTERITY MUST PAY
"A glance at the last rep.brt of the
Merchants' - association bureau of in
spection will show how necessary to
the proper discharge of this duty is
the maintenance' of the association's
inspection work. :
"Posterity .will have. to pay for these
things, but it will have had no chance
to correct -them' in construction. -.'lf
they areUo be so* corrected it must be
done now. :
."Whether we like it or not, we are
working under the . competitive \ sys
tem. AYe are asking contractors to bid
against one another, making it; a main
object: with them to figurejtheir tenders
as. low as possible. They are only hu
man.' The temptation to bid too low
hi order, to* get the;. work, and! ithen
shave "it -too close for^ good construc
tion i n , o>rder , to . stop] loss, is ever pres
ent. \u25a0\u25a0\We i,owe itlto ourselves, 1 arid to : the
honest^ contractors, and;to \ the'genera
tion whose city we have_ put In : pledge
without its Vconsent," -to watch this
work. fArid when , you contribute;to .the
Merchants' 'association bureau <of in
