The fire has about burned itself

CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO
Description of Beautiful Metropolis
Now Laid in Ashes.

San Francisco is a city of about
1900 and is most pcturesquely sit
uated between the Pacific ocean on
the west and San Francisco bay on
the north and east. Thus the city is
water-locked on three sides, the south
aone permitting of direct land COM
munication for railroads. Despite this,
San Francisco is one of the largest
railroad centers in the west. Ferry
lines afford means of communication
between the city and Oakland, Berke-
ley, Alameda and other mainland
cities, where the overland lines make
their termini. The city has an area
of forty-seven square miles and is built
in part on reclaimed land. There are
more than 1000 frame and about A.
900 brick and stone buildings in the
city. The biggest structures are the
city hail. 332 feet high and worth 81,
900, 900; the Call building, sixteen
stories; the Chronicle building, sew
enteen stories; the St. Francis hotel,
twelve stories; the postoffice, worth
S., 900 900, the mint, seven public IL
braries, forty-seven hospitals, ninety
eight schools, and many large hotels.
The assessed valuation of real es-
tate in San Francisco in 1904 was
$3.50, 1000. The assessment is sup.
posed to represent two-thirds of the
actual value of the property If this
is correct the real value of property
in San Francisco in 1904 was about
$50 10000. The increase in the
past two years has been greater than
for the previous five or six years,
An insurance expert says that it would
be conservative, in view of these facts,
to place the increase at 25 per cent.
In round figures the value of real es,
tate in the stricken city would be at
least $7O0,O0O,000.
The city has suffered severely by
/ fire, the worst being in 1S49 and 1851
when s16,OOOOOO worth of property
was destroyed. An earthquake visited
the city on October q, 1868, but the
loss was small, all the buildings then
being of frame.
