oAKLAND's GROWTH.
In an interview with Z. A. Mccarthy,
who, with his father, is very large owner
of realty in San Francisco and Oakiand, he
makes the following statement concerning
property across the bay:
While san Francisco is growing and
spreading out with marvellous rapidity, our
sister city across the bay and her suburbs
seem to be keeping up to our pace though
we may be going ever so fast. A visit
through Oakland's streets is convincing aud
the rapid growth of the suburbs, notably
Piedmont, Ciaremont, Golden Gate and in
the direction OF the new subdivision, Broad
way Terrace, is not only convincing but con-
elusive evidence OF rapid but seemingly
withal healthy growth.
Take, first, Piedmont; though 1t may not
offer as many tempting investments as the
other mentioned suburbs. Oh account Of the
high prices. still it Is a criterion OF what
these others will be with another year
added to their age. ClaremoDt VIII equal
Piedmont for prices when the new electric
road is completed, which will prove as eifec-
tual in raising prices as the new PIEDMONT
cable was for Piedmont Golden Gate, the
coming workngmen's suburb, is growing
fast, and although prices are low, the lnl-
proyemeatS now In course OF construction
will prove effectual In raising values to
double, and when the San Pablo cable-car
lire is extended, as is intended, Golden Gate
will be bright gem IN Oakland dladem OIL
suburbs. As for the last Of the suburbs
mentioned, that is, Broadway Terrace, all
can say is, that time viii tell But there
is no reason why this section, really most
favored of all, should not prove even better
than any. 1t Is in good hands, being pushed
aid improved, and has the advantage OF
Oaklanu's only 1G0-foot thoroughfare, Broad
way"
