REAL ESTATE.
Proposed Improvements in Rich
mOnd Realty.

Much current comment among real estate
men, particularly those interested in Rich
mOnd District, is being caused by the reso-
lutlons of the Supervisors at Monday nights
meeting providing for the levy of a tax upon
the property surrounded by Twelfth avenue,
Thirty-second avenue, Lake street on the
north and ID street on the south for the
grading, sewering and curbing of land in
Richmond.
OF course objections are expected from
some pToperty-0wners VINO are not willing
to eXpend money 10 present improvements.
The complaints naturally will come from
men in places not adjacent to the proposed
improvements, which are to be made along
Point Lobos avenue, from Twelfth to Thir-
ty-Second avenues, and Fourteenth, Seven
teenth, Twenty-secOnd and Twenty third
avenues, from Point Lobos avenue to Lake
street.
The resolutions set forth, in speaking of
| the value OF the work contemplated, say
! thai In the opinion OF said b Jard of Super
| vlsOrS the improvements in the avenues and
| streets is of more than local and ordinary
| public benefit, and therefore it is the inten-
tlOg of said board to make the expense
chlTgeable upon district
As the Supervisors are empowered by
recent decision of tie Supreme Court to
make improvements chargeable on dis
trlct, il is believed that obstruction Will
work.
Owners of Richmond property are, in
consequence, congratulating themselves and
looking for big things from their land.

Kelly and Crimmins' Ainions " Fired"

There is some friction at the Industrial

it has resulted in making topsy-turyy of two

Though the committee has not met since

Mr.. Ebert approves thoroughly of Superjn-

Martin Kelly, nor Phil CIimmins, nor any
budy else outside OF the Board of Super
visors will be recognized as having the right
to fill such positions.
The immediate cause of Superintendent
Kincaid's uprising was when a guard named
