Reports from San Diego covering the
present month and the year now past
show a growth which has been very
encouraging to the city upon the bay
For different reasons the expansion has
not been as great as during 1906 nor
has the last three months been equal
to the first quarter of 1907. year
ago the announcement that the San
| Diego & Arizona railroad would be
| built through Nto Yuma gave a very
strong impetus to the real estate
movement The year was thus opened
up with stimulus which augured
well, but which was given setback
| by the sudden financial developments.
Another item which helped to retard
| the pace then set was the division of
| the county, which deprived San Diego
of a large record of transfers. This,
however, affected the volume OF busi-
ness for the county rather than for the
city itself
During the eleven months ending De-
cember 1 $228,S35 were expended in
building in University Heights and
$4,000 in Normal Heights. Six months
| ago there was one house on the latter
tract and since that time forty-one
houses have been or are being erected.
Other divisions report marked activity.
