MARCH OF PROGRESS BRIGHTENS PROSPECTS OF CITY AND PENINSULA
PENINSULA
GROWING
Opening of the Dumbar
ton Bridge WilFßring
Transformation
Peninsula suburbs from Burlingame
to Redwood City and Palo Alto are
feeling the impetus of the -opening of
the Dumbarton bridge today.
This makes a reality of a long cher
ished hope of a great transcontinental
traffic corning directly up the-penin
sula into the city proper. Instead of
all freight and passengers from the
?ast having to be landed across the
bay and then ferried over all this traf
fic can now.entor San Francisco by
an all rail route.
At present only transcontinental
freight service will take this* route,
but it Is believed to be only a short
time before all transcontinental pas
senger trains over the Southern Pa
cific system via Ogden as well as via
Los Angeles will come in over the
peninsula.
This will give thousands of tourists
and home seekers a good view of the
chsrininj? peninsula towns before they
arrive in the city. Incidentally it will
give the best possible impression to
new arrivals in thus seeing a perfect
cordon of beautiful towns with semi
tropic foliage skirting all the borders
of the bay.
The beauties of the peninsula only
r.eed to be seen to be appreciated.
Many pcop'e who have lived all their
lives in San Francisco have never vis
ited all the peninsula town? and are
unaware of the beauties of the great
estates of Hillshorough and of the
thousands of beautiful homes from
Burllngarr.e southward.
The great transportation companies
heve foreseen the future of this su
burban home district and have quietly
prepared for it. even before the popu
lation justified it. Miles of tunnels
have been constructed by the Southern
Pacific on the Bay Shore cutoff at a
cost of $10,000,000. The double track
trolley line to San Mateo. now being
extended to San Jose, is so well con
structed that electric trains fcr single
cars can be run with express train
speed.
All these factors are at work to
mske the peainsula in a few years'
time the home of hundreds of thou
sands of people.
As Burling-ame is the nearest of the
peninsula towns to San Francisco, it
w!H share In all of the increased trans
portation facilities. The amount of
boUdlQg now In progress in San Mateo
and Burlingrame. which are practically
one town, being: only, separated from
ftst'or- to station about one and a half
miles, goes to prove that the home
scekinar public appreciates tlie added
convenience in the way of transpor
tation.
Lyon & Hoav: report a very satisfac
tory demand for terrace Jiuilding lots
on the part of home seekers. The spec
ulative feature 3s not much In evidence.
Only a few of the lots have been sold
?o parties who intend to hold for an
Increase in value. The grea.t percent
ape of the sale? made have been effect
ed to tfcore buyers who have carefully
*e>ctefl a site for a residence.
One of the points favorably com
mented upon by »11 visitors to Easton
:s the uniform, high cla«s nature of
the improvements. Every home a
credit to the architect, not an unsight
ly dwelling or building of any kind
snvwhere.
Th«> re*i«=on is not far to seek. The
Eeston additions ar«> Immediately ad
.lacent to ihe ]arr» md beautiful Eas
ton estate with Its artistically laid out
park grounds r.nrt imposing residence.
The Easton additions tract is under
the <3ire^t superrislon of the Easton
•rtate. no part of the larpre estate hav
ina: hp^n sold to real estate operators
In bulk.
Not only d<"'e«« every deed contain
curefjilly worded clauses intended for
the protection of the purchaser, but
inasmuch as t!i*» adjoining estate Is
vitally Interested fn the general ap
peirar.re of the tract, every improve
ment must strictly conform to the
high standard desired by the man who
plans a beautiful home.
SERVICE TO CITY GOOD
This feature, together with the su
perior climate, freedom from fog and
fast train service f.24 to 27 minutes>.
electric service f 55 minutes to the.
city>. has decided hundreds of pros
pective home builders ,In favor of
Eastern. Trains are always on time,
winter and summer, thus enabling
prompt arrival at the office or place of
business.
Simultaneously with the opening of
the Dumbarton bridge at Redwood
City today a 79 acre subdivision will
be placed on the market at Palo Alto.
This tract, known as Evergreen park.
Is owned by the Co-operative land and
trust company of San Francisco. C. E.
Childs. president of the company. In
speaking of this tract says:
"In Evergreen park we are offering
unusual opportunities both to home
seekers and to investors.
"Lying between Palo Alto .and May
field and bounded on two sides by the
Stanford university grounds. this
tract offers an environment whose ad
vantages are obvious to the home
builder. Evergreen park Is fully Im
proved with both sidewalks and
curbs, city water, electric light and
sewer: trees have been planted along
the boulevard to beautify the park and
nothing- has been left undone to make
the place attractive.
, "San Franciscans are coming more
and more to appreciate the attractive
ness of the Santa Clara valley as a
place of residence. Improved trans
portation facilities make it possible
for the businessman to-be in his Palo
Alto home 50 minutes after leaving
the office.
EVERGREEN PARK ATTRACTIVE'
"Evergreen park wljfc prove very at
tractive to the commuter. "The South
ern Pacific railroad bounds the tract
on one side and the Peninsula electric
railway, connecting with San Jose and
Stanford university, on the other.
"The opening of the Dumbarton
bridge will give great impetus to the
•activity on the peninsula and espe
cially,at Palo Alto. Factories will go
.tip.: people will come In and land val
ues will rise. Those who buy now will
be able, within a years, to sell
their land at. twice or three times its
present cost."
Newark a few years ago was merely
.a grouping of small buildings and a
town practically unknown throughout
the state. Redwood City, naturally
situated to better advantage, has grown
to considerable proportions and was
better known. Neither town, however,
•had much to look forward to until the
Southern Pacific railroad announced
the Dumbarton bridge project, which
.now bids fair to develop both .commu
nities into railroad and manufacturing
cities of considerable importance.
H. C Tuchsen of Redwood City, rep
resenting Baldwin & Howell's Interests,
has studied 'the situation from every
standpoint, and as a result of his con
clusions is investing heavily himself in
Redwood City properties, particularly
in Dlngee park.
. "When a rear estate man buys prop
erty Tor himself you can depend upon
it. that It's a mighty good investment,"
said Tuchsen recently. "I have watched
the Redwood situation for a long time,
and am satisfied we have the nucleus
here for a good, big city. We have a
good harbor and all of the transcon
tinental railroads will eventually be
using the cutoff and running through
Redwood just as the Southern Pacific
does today. Manufacturers will be able
to purchase water front sites at nom
inal figures and enjoy spur track facil
ities to their factory doors."
"I personally believe the town will
grow west through Dingee park, and
am advising all my friends to follow
my example and buy lots in this direc
tion before prices go up," continued
Tuchsen. "There is no finer climate in
the state than at Redwood City and no
prettier residential and bungalow sites
anywhere than among the oaks at Din
gee park. This property, although upon
the market at an average of $9. a foot,
is already worth nearer $20, and there
is no telling what it will increase to In
the next five years. Acreage in the
vicinity of Dingee park, upon which we
have options, is also offered by us at
correspondingly low prices. In fact,
right now there are opportunities to
secure beautiful homesites in Redwood
City at prices so nominal that they'll
look like a joke five years from now.
The fact is," concluded Tuchsen. "I am
so sure of a radical increase of values
that I would advise my best friend to
take every cent he could spare above
living expenses and invest it in Red
wood City real estate. I believe he
could buy with his eyes shut and make
money, particularly if he went west of
the county road and stayed within the
city limits."

NEW IMPETUS IN HOME
BUILDING NEAR THE PARK
Investments in Residences Bring Independence
In Few Years—Drift of Population
South of Golden Gate Park
Residence building in the Richmond
and Sunset districts has taken on a
new impetus this month.
The Urban realty company started
three new houses this week, two in
Ninth and one in Eleventh avenue.
These are artistic six room houses,
highly finished inside. They are . an
adaptation of Swiss chalet, best suited
to 25 foot lots.
The Urban realty company is draw
ing plans for two very handsome resi
deqces in Tenth avenue, to be erected
on large lots. They will be up to the
same standard as the fine homes al
ready built in this avenue.
Chandler & Bourn, agents for Co
rona heights, report that the street
work is nearing completion. This is
the closest in tract of* high class resi
dence property now offered in the city,
being located one block east of the
corner of Ashbury and Clifford (for
merly Sixteenth) streets. This Is only
four blocks from Halght street.
IS WELL LOCATED
Because of its accessibility and the
size of the lots it is of special interest
to the home seeker who desires sun
shine and view combined with low
prices and particularly easy terms.
The tract lies on a gentle easterly
slope and commands some magnificent
views. There are many- substantial
homes in the vicinity, one of which
is shown on this page.
Speaking of home buying in the city,
as an investment, Oscar H« i y:nan sad:
"There are* many people who have
the means to buy homes and the in
clination, but are heU back by a cer
tain timidity. An instance of this class
is a policeman whom I sold a house
and lot to seven years ago. Fora long
time he had hesitated, being, afraid
to risk a first payment for fear he
could not complete the payments. Fin
ally he overcame this hesitation arid
bought a house by paying $300 down
and $25 a month. He had bean pay
ing rent for 20 years and had been
growing poorer Instead of richer.
"He ha'J no difficulty in paying for
his home completely. This started him
on the road to wealth and independ-"

ence. He has since bought several
other pieces of property.
: ""When his daughter got married he
insisted that she should buy a house
at the outset, and now she, too, is com
fortably situated in her own home.
"Besides making money, this man
helped his family in other ways. His
wife, while living in a- crowded down
town tenement, was always sickly and
under a doctor's care. When they bought
a house out in the Sunset district,, away
off from the carline, she had fresh air
all the time and had to take exercise
in going to the carline. It cured her
completely.
"I have noticed the same result In
other cases. Besides the sunshine and
fresh air which people get out in the
thinly settled western district, there is
the exhilarating thought that. they are
property owners, and that in itself is
a tonic better than any medicine."
SALES ARE INCREASING
There is a decided increase of. sales
of lots south of Golden Gate, park in
the Parkside and Sunset districts. The
prospect of the exposition being located
somewhere in that direction is spur
ring on many people to get home sites
now, before pricjs' advance.
The Parkside district has more than
100 new dwellings. Water, gas service
and extra wide streets and the fine ele
vation are proving magnets to draw
population there. The residents already
have practically all the conveniences
that they had when living in downtown
sections I.'1 .'
There are goo.d schools, mall delivery
twice a day, telephone, street lights and
a sewer system, under recent....bon'J
Issue, almost complete. Added to these,
advantages this section has a marine
view such as can be obtained in very
few parts of the city and only at high
prices.' *
: The ornamental trees which the resi- i
dents are setting out, the lawns,!
flower gardens and* park ways which
are being laid out indicate the high
plane on which this part of the city is
developing. \u0084 " - : \u25a0 . • !
Taken altogether, it is a notable sign
of the steady westerly progress of fine
home building in San Francisco.
