THEY WILL CHANGE MATERIALLY
ONLY WHEN THE VALLEY
ROAD Is OPEN.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT ENOUGH
SOME RECENT SALES THAT INDI-
CATE PRESENT PRICES-BUILD-
ING NOTES.


real estate affairs was touched by George
d. Toy early last week, when in an inter-
view in the CALL he said it would be time
enough to stiffen prices after the valley
railroad was open for business.
Simply because better feeling has been
created by the exhibition of public spirit
and enterprise on the part of merchants
and capitalists who started the valley rail-
way project, owners of real estate should
not be carried away with the idea that
their property has increased in value.
Prices have been down to bedrock level, 1t
is safe to say, and without doubt will hold
their own for some time to come. But
until material benefits are experienced
from q competing railway from Bakers
field to this city there can be little else to
cause changes in real estate values IN San
Francisco.
Since the Twenty-fourth street electric
line was constructed the residents of Noe
Valley have had good cause for mutual
congratulations. Previously the only
means of communication was by the Castro
street cable-road to which people who
lived on the hillside had to walk many
blocks. Building contractors are looking
forward to the erection OF neat cottages
and comfortable houses in that district on
account of the increased demand for build
ing lots. This is only another instance OF
the effect which streetcar-hne extension
has on outlying property.
Jacob Heyman reports the sale of two lots on
Twenty-third street in the Heyman Tract for
$4,000, one lot on Alvarado street for $3.50,
two lots on Elizabeth street for $1,000, and one
lot on Corbett road for $500.
