A WEEKS REVIEW
OF REAL ESTATE.
CONFIDENCE STRENGTHENED BY
VICTORY FOR THE NEW
RAILWAY TERMINUS.
GRADING TREADWELLSLAND.
SOME SALES MADE DURING THE
WEEK-BUILDNG CONTRACTS
INCREASE.

The confidence placed in San Francisco
real estate has been strengthened this
week by the action of the State Legislature
in practically giving the city terminus
for a competing railway. Although the
influence of this act must be favorable it
has not yet made itself felt
So far as city real estate is concerned
thereis little likelihood that improvement
will be impulsive on account of the awak-
ening of public enterprise. 1t may be time
enough TO look for brisk market with
property selling at good prices when the
effect will be actually reached. The
process of building up is one of evolution
slow and almost imperceptible-and it is
a matter for congratulation that the pro-
cess is now working toward an era of re-
newed prosperity.
As matters stand at present there is no
reason to complain, though the turn in
events did not come up to anticipations of
the professional boomer.
One of the most important of contem-
plated Improvements is the grading about
to be done by the Treadwell estate near
Golden Gate Park. There are six blocks
and portions of other blocks now in q state
OF natural wildness, the sanddunes held
down by dense underbrush of scrub oak.
Several streets Will be opened and macad-
amized through the tract, and that alone
will have a decided effect on property living
Immediately to the west. The grading will
necessitate the removal of about 800, 900
cubic yards of earth and the expenditure
of large sum of money.
