Much interest is being shown by oak
land real estate dealers in the new
building ordinance, which was present
ed to the City Council last night py
Councilman Thurston. The new or
dinance among other things provides
that no repairs or alterations snail
be made on frame buildings within the
fire limits of the city, which means
that within few years every pulioing
inside the fire limits will be OF modern
fireproof construction. The new Or
dinance was discussed by the members
of the Conncil last night, and was. re-
ferred to the ordinance and judiciary
committee, the committee being dlrec-
ted to confer with the Board or PUBIC
Works regarding its provisions.
The number of actual sales of prop
erty recorded in this city last week
was larger by nearly hundred than
the number recorded IN san francesca
in the same length of time. The total
number of deeds filed for record at the
Office of the County Recorder last week
was 38S. a number of these being for
large properties. The instruments re-
corded prove that sales of Oakland
property are not confined to any par
ticular district business and residence
property alike finding favor with in
vestors.
That Harriet and Martin Marks in
tend to proceed at once with the erec-
ton of the Hotel ST. Marks, which is
to be built at Twelfth and Franklin
streets, is proven by a mortgage filed
yesterday by Marks. The property has
been mortgaged to the Oakland Bank
of Savings for 100000. and on it will
be erected an eight-story hotel.
DEMAND FOR PROPERTY.
Real estate dealers throughout Ala
media County report an undiminished
demand for property of all kinds, the
principal difficulty being to secure
enough property for sale to satisfy the
demands of prospective investors. All
the larger real estate offices in this
city have all the business they can
handle, and the same condition prevails
in Alameda, Berkeley and Fruitvale.
A good example of the activity of
the local real estate market is fur
nished by the following list of sales
