The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-09-22
INSTRUCTIONS ARE INJURIOUS.

records of real estate transactions are in
evidence of a very satisfactory move
ment in city lands, and particularly of
property within the suburban districts.
One agent remarked Yesterday that if
business continued approving in the same
ratio as during the week be shall be CON-
PEELED 10 employ more clerks. This is GER
tainly encouraging news, as theirs has been
no increase in the Office STATS of agents
since the reduction which came after the
booming period Of two or three years ago.
The fall season is opening brightly. There
is an evident disposition between buyer
and seller to arrive at conclusions, and
much of the former haggling and holding
back for bargains is disappearing
And vet it cannot be said that men are
buying San Francisco property as a sDecu-
lation mercy.
In certain directions pr0perty-owners
are protesting against the hardness OF
municipal action in regard 10 enforcing
the improvements of streets, as for in
stance the streets fronting on the Tread
well estate, between the PARK panhandle
and the cemeteries. Through some pscu-
liar methods when notice of street work
was given in that portion OF the city six
months ago the order was not passed by
the Supervisors and nothing has been done
in consequence. The result is that Hayes
and Fulton streets, opened by the street.
car company, remain in state of wildness
that contrasts poorly with the graded
streets around them. The large tract is
still wilderness, but the owners are rich
enough to pay for grading and macsdamiz-
ing the streets facing their property.
Real estate affected by sands flying from
the Treadwell dunes suffers TOO mucn in
value, and besides the land lmmed lately
west of the tract loses considerably be-
cause there Is no direct communication
with the city.
substantial class of buildings have
been contracted for this week, as the rec
Ords show. They will keep the builders
engaged for some time to come, while at
present there are evidences of remarkable
Improvement IN the Western Addition and
near the park. As 10 the relation that
progress in handsome dwellings bears 10
real estate so much advancement has not
been noted for some time past. The effect
no doubt is felt 10 the movement of real
estate. The contracts recorded in the past
