The San Francisco Call
NEW GOUGH STREET CROSS TOWN LINE GREAT BENEFIT TO THE CITY
BRINGS THE MISSION AND
RICHMOND IN CLOSE TOUGH
Expected to Double GougH Street* Values and Increase
Business of Fillmore, Valehcia and Mission Streets
This week has marked the beginning
• of construction work on the new Gough
street line, which it is believed will
prove the most important crosstown
•car line of the city.
The new line will connect with the
present Valencia street line, beginning
at the junction of Market and Haight
Ftreets. There will be seven blocks of
new track along Gougl* street to Mc-
Allister.
It will cost $45,000 to lay the rails.
put in poles, trolley wires and make
crossings and connections with existing
lines. Of this amount about $25,000 has
been- raised by p^Dular 'subscription
' among: property holders along the line
and $20,000 has been advanced by the
i Hibernia savings bank to make up the
; total of $45,000 necessary for con
! struction work.
5 PER CEXT B.O.VUS
The United Railroads will issue bonds
for this amount bearing 5 per cent in
terest and to pay back the principal in
21 years, the time when the Valencia
Ftreet franchise expires. Work will be
rushed on the new line and it is ex
pected to be finished and in operation
before Christma^.
This will mean the establishment of
a most direct, level and rapid route
from the southerly confines of the Mis
sion to the most northerly and populous
sections of the Richmond district.. Cars
will be run, beginning at Mission and
Onondaga avenue, to Valencia, to
WGouph, to McAllister,. to Fillmore, north
Sacramento and theirce westward
to Sixth avenue and eventually to the
Cliff hou^e.
The immediate effect of this will
naturally be to increase the retail
trade in Fillmore street throughout its
business district.
It is estimated that it will increase
real estate values here from 15 to 25
per cent. Valencia and Mission strict
values will be increased in about the
Fame proportion while it is thought that
Oouph street property along this line
will be fully doubled. Gough .street i
will be asphalted throughout th«» seven
Mocks traversed by the car line, and
will be made as fine a street as Fill
more.
DETOIR NECESSARY NOW
With this new connecting link be
tween the Mission and Richmond, cars

NEW WAREHOUSE
FOR FJRST STREET
Contracts have been closed by Willis
Polk & Co.. the architects, for the con
struction of a six story and basement
reinforced concrete warehouse to'., be
erected" in the east side of First street
between Market and Mission, by the re
pents of the University of California
for Blake, Moffltt &. Towne.
The construction of the building is
very heavy, being calculated to \u25a0 carry
floor loads of 500 pounds a square foot.
Contracts were let separately for each
trade and branch of the work, more
than 300 bids having been; received from
the various contractors. .
It will be equipped with metal frames
and wire glass, sprinkler system and
two elevators. The building will be
one of the most complete modern ware
houses designed for the reconstruction
of the new city.* . .
BUNGALOW AND CAMP
SITES AT MILL. VALLEY
Turing the last 60 days Lapachet,&
report the sale of 200 lots at Jluir
->ds park. Mill Valley. To meet the
...ng demand for this class of prop
• rty'it.has been found necessary to
open subdivision -No. 2, also' containing
<i bout 200 lots. This property is half a
mO from Mill Valley and only-15 min
utes" walk from the cars. In order, to
introduce this new subdivision this, fall

low. prices, v.' '\u25a0/.;'- ' - \u25a0;•.'* ; vT \u25a0*;•-..'
can run swiftly and easily on a ona or
two minute headway. \u25a0
The work begun this week in Gough
street was between Market and Page.
It will be pushed along the entire
route to McAllister.
At the present time the cross town
service is over the hills by the Six
teenth arid Bryant and Broadway and
Fillmore, operating at a great disad
vantage on account of steep grades at
both <?nds of Fillmore, rendering it im
possible to run cars at less than two
and a half minutes apart, and evan
then not reaching ,the most thickly
settled sections of "Richmond and the
Mission. * .
This new cross town line has been
agitated for four years. In July, 1906,
the Fillmore street improvement asso
ciation conceived the, idea of construct
ing a railroad in Gough street for the
purpose of securing for, their district
a service commensurate with the de
mands; such a service the United Rail
roads could not give on account of the
hills along Fillmore street from Ful
ton to Haight streets.
PON* HAS BEEN' ACTIVE *
\u25a0 A. J. Pon, president of the Fillmore
street improvement association, took
an active part in the project from the
start, and carried it through to a suc
cessful termination.
Among those who have aided . the
project, financialy and otherwise, are
Tobin & Tobin of the Hibernia Sav
ings and Loan society, former Super

NEW WONDERLAND
TO BE OPENED UP
Realty Company Plans Cutting
Up Shriners Canyon Into
Fashionable Homes
The Goetzman realty company is en
tering the San Francisco real estate
field with one of the largest develop
ment enterprises that has been under
taken in several years.
They have purchased the old Shrin
ers tract of 125 acres In the most
scenic part of Mill Valley. Homes of
wealthy San Franciscans extend up to
and almost surround this wonderfully
beautiful region, with the mystic-red
woods as one of the chief charms and
Mount Tamalpais overtopping all with
its grandeur. v
Here the new development "company
is going to build scenic drives, set
aside park spaces, put in sewers, elec
tric .light and secure electric car
transit. Already fashion has set its seal
upon this region, and the new homes
that are built there will have ample
grounds and all will be practically
show places. Already Mill Valley's
superb homes rank well with the ex
clusive places down on the peninsula.
The plans that the Goetzman ; realty
company have In mind propose the
making of Mill Valley the Tuxedo of
the west.
It will take hundreds of thousands
of dollars to-carry out this enterprise
and several years' time, but the men
behind it assert that the outcome will
be something to awaken the pride of
every nature lover and civic enthusiast
in this city. : ' vi":
POTRERO WANTS BRIDGE
REPAIRED FOR TRAFFIC
bighteenth Street Structure Is
Neglected by Corporations
The : Potrero merchants', association
and the Potrero Improvement associa
tion are working together trying to
discover who is responsible for the im
passable condition of the Eighteenth
street bridge. Efforts have been made
to yet the city to repair the broken
roadway and the Santa .Fe railroad
company has . also been asked to take
action in the matter. ;< {V.i
vTh«. bridge connects lowa and Min
nesota streets, making a span- of two
blocks. It was built by the Santa Fe
when the company cut away the hills
stretching, from . Sevententh to* Twenty

road" yards and factory sites.-
rJThe pavement was ; originally* of
w"boden blocks. Many, months ago they
started to break away- and; swiff disin
