RENTED HOUSES
REWARD OWNERS
Demand Exceeds Supply
and Insures Good
Returns.
Two Business Blocks Planned
to Front Union
Square.

The owners of eligible renting properties
continue to find the conditions favorable to
! them. Favored parties are making IL per
cent per annum on residence properties,
so real estate brokers say. The supply
is not equal to the demand and the indi-
cG tions are that the result will be the ex-
tension of building activity to the Rich
mond. and Sunset districts largely and to
other sections where there is a large area
to be built upon that is not far distant
from the business center of the city. The
same demand for residence properties IS
noted in other communities around the
bay. Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda
are increasing their population rapidly.
The University City is making marked
advance, something quite unprecedented
in its history. Houses are rented before
they are completed.
