much agitation for an underground trolley
system. Answering the protests Of those
who favored the conduit, Supervisor Gal
lagher said:
7The minds OF many people ha We under
gone radical changes since April IS. They
Thought tall steel buildings dangerous; |
now they know that idea was wrong. We
had an idea also that the conduit system
but the effects Of the shock on the cable
system has proved that the conduit system
would be impracticable, and | believe that
ni~nety-nine out of one hundred are now
convinced Of that fact
Mayor Schmitz this morning announced
that he would sign an ordinance permitting
an overhead trolley system.
A number of San Francisco merchants
who rushed over the bay in their oonsterna-
tion and rented property there, are finding
that it does not pay to attempt TO carry on
San Francisco business from Oakland.
Some of them have 81 900 leases on their
hands, but despite this, they are arranging
to return to this city. They are renting
the rents are higher than they paid for
larger and better structures before the fire.
A fine illustration of the possibilities
Of real estate speculation is furnished by
Attorney A. Friedlander' experience. Fried
lander lost everything in the fire. All his
ready money and assets amounted to 81 go.
On Van Ness avenue, between Post and
Geary streets, he got his eye on a building
for which the rental was 81 800 a month.
That would have stumped most men with
only 81 90 capital, but it didn't stump
~Friedlander. He tried to borrow money
from his brother to make a deposit to So
cure the lease, but his brother laughed at
him, asking what business a man with
81, 500. But Friedlander hustled up 500,
paid it to secure his lease and then found
q man named Goldstone to back him,
Already. the property has been relet
to bring in IS 900 a month above all ex-
penses, thus leaving Friedlander $4,000 to
let. As his lease rum for two years he
is certain Of his income for that time, and
he is now working to get an extension of
another year.
