Says the Gait Gazette: AS an Indication
of the value of the tule land on the Islands
in the lower Sacramento River, the fact is
worthy of mention that there was filed in
the Recorders Office last Thursday lease
from Mrs. Rita Noriega TO a Chinese COM
pany of 1G0 acres of land on Brannan
Island, which shows that for the first three
years the lessees are to pay SIS per acre per
year. For the three years following they
are to pay SO per acre per year. The more
the land on these Islands is worked and I'M
proved the more valuable it becomes, SO
that after six years cultivation the land in
question will probably command rental OF
SIS to S25 per acre.
