THE PEOPLE
CELEBRATE
Over $75,OOO,OO
in Rebuilding City

San Francisco, April 10. One year
ago yesterday San Francisco was all
but wiped out of existence by the
fire succeeding a terrific earthquake
shock. Nearly a quarter of a mill
ion of people were rendered home
less and the financial loss amounted
to about 100000.
The city was left a smoking mass
of ruins and rehabilitation seemed
a matter of many years. Today the
sun rose from a cloudless sky over
a busy metropolis in which the vol
ume of business more than equals
that of twelve months ago, and whose
population is fast approaching its
former figure is the record said to
be without parallel.
During the year 100000 has
been expended in work of construc-
ton, one-third of which was furn-
ished by the savings banks which in
common with all financial institu-
tions withstood the disaster without
sign of weakness. over 100000
900 has been paid out for labor. and
1000 men are now engaged in the
building industry while before the
fire only 10000 We're at work. Tenn
porary construction which for a while
prevailed has ceased and permits for
the erection of first class fire proof
structures to cost over $4,000 900
have been granted. The restoration
of old buildings which survived the
flames, now in progress. will require
the expenditure of many millions
more. About two hundred miles of
street railways rendered useless, are
now in running order.
The anniversary was fittingly cele-
brated in the city yesterday and last
night. Great banquets were held,
the business sections were decorated
and Illuminated and citizens paraded
the streets joyously celebrating the
rise from the ruins of the city of the
Golden Gate.
