through it all. There will undoubtedly
be bigger, greater city here than be-
fore. And if they only go at it right
and public spirit remains at the high
pitch it is at present, it will be the most
beautiful city in the world. The city has
really been swept from the earth. What
remains within the burnt district is
mere nothing. 1t could be built up as
perfect city. There is no lack of op-
portunity.
"The rearrangement ofproperty rights
and the vacating of streets, though, will
be very difficult to bring about. 1t will
probably not be accomplished and the
city IN its main features viii be as before.
There will be more-6pen spaces, but
Market street will be as it is, and all
the cross streets. Fillmore street will
become an uptown retail street, but
aside from that the city will build up
much as it was. Precaution against
earthquake will be taken, the fire Ordin-
ance will be strictly enforced, and moth
ing but solid, substantial buildings
erected. Perhaps all overhead wires will
be put underground.
but skyscrapers will be erected as be-
lore. There is no reason against their
being erected, for all the really modern
ones withstOod both the earthquake and
fire. | should not be surprised to see

ing in the burnt district unharmed, but
the injury to the pOstotfice is small, and
most of the gutted steel frame buildings
are pronounced little Injured by the
earthquake and could be finished up
again.
Thousands and thousands Of old
shacks south of Market are gone. A
district two or three miles square there
was wiped out clean. The burning of
this district was no loss to the city. 1t
