ny THE BAVnspnOppER

Mr.. Birmingham Of san Francisco Is
the supervising inspe tor Of steamships
for the First district, which embraces
the waters an, rivers Of the United
States west Of the t1c ~ Mountains
and also the waters OF the Hawaiian
islands. The man who has to bear ali
these Unerous duties is stopping at
the Alexandra with his wife.
Tic is going along tho coast inspect
ing the ships and Issuing licenses and
with his wife VIII remain u few days
IN Los Angeles before going on to San
Diego.
Mr.. Bermingham has held his posi-.
ton for fifteen years now, and is good
for twice as many years again. lie
says!
I'VE arc living I'm Alameda now. but
we are really from San Francisco, be-
ing burned out. We were ON the sew
enth floor OF the Marie Antoinette
apartments on Van Ness avenue when
tho earthquake came and we didn't
get shaken up 30 much. so we Nave
taken rooms OH the seventh floor OF
the Alexandra also. although we don't
expect another earthquake here. we
saved practically nothing from the fire.
and although had thirty pairs Of
shoes before April Is, I only have one
II
fond of them"
In regard to the present condition
of San Francisco he says:
san Francisco was never SO well
off as she Is now. There are millions
and millions of dollars more now than
there ever has been before, since ev-
eryone Is getting their insurance money
and hasn't any better place to put 1t
than in the banks. Then, too, every
va
more expensively and in finer appear
ing clothes than they have ever been
before; In fact IN going down any San
Francisco street where the ruins can't
be seen you would think that every
one you met or everything you saw
had just been enriched by few thou
sand dollars.
There are more people In San = ran
cisco now than can possibly get ac-
comnodations and the ground rent is
higher than the ground and house to-
gether was before. I certainly pre-
diet a bright future for San Francisco"
