HOW SAN FRANCISCO
is BEING REBUILT

as we'll as city banks. 1t is this con
dition of self dependence to which
CaIifornians have always been
accustomed, that has prevented any
furry or crisis in this state during
the present strained condition in the
east.
Full comprehension of what has
been done in San Francisco can be
had only after thorough and care
full analysis of the building that has
been going on for the past eighteen
months. There is a general idea that
great work has been done, but the
character of that work is little under
stood. 1t must first be remembered
that %, 1873 buildings were destroyed,
which had an estimated value of
sos, COO, 600. These buildings covered
an area uf tour and seven tenths
square miles. Since the fire permits
have been asked for 5000 permanent
buildings at an estimated value of
500, 900, 900.
1t will be seen that buildings to
the number of one-third of those de-
stroyed will cost within $1,000, OO1 of
the value of all that we're burned. In
other words the present character of
buildings so far surpasses those that
we're destroyed that if the same ratio
of increased cost be maintained the
new city will cost three times the
value of the old
In this connection the contention
has been made that there is an ex-
cessive increase in the cost of build
ing, owing to high wage and increased
price of building material. Investi-
cation into these conditions shows
that the present cost of building in
San Francisco is less than one per
cent higher than that of similar
buildings in either Chicago or New
York. Wages have returned to nearly
the normal of before the fire, while
building material is the same as be-
fore the fire.
The following figures will give an
idea of what has been done in San
Francisco since the fire:
Cash paid for improve
ments since the fire S13C, DOC, 600

San Francisco, November 1.-The
financial storm which has been sweep.
ing over the country is reflected in
San Francisco in very insignificant
way. The era of speculation in the
East, which is credited with bringing
on the present furry, did not reach
San Francisco, owing to the fact that
this city was bending all its energies,
and utilizing all its money in re-
building tho area that had Eeen de.
vastated by the great fire. While
enormous sums of money we're needed
and are still needed in San francisco
for reconstruction purposes, all that
has been invested has gone into Iegiti-
mate enterprises that have nothing of
the speculative in their character,
consequently, except for the strain
caused By shortage of cash, the
crisis has been of no detr iment to the
city. This was evidenced by the fact
that, while the governor of the state
felt it wise to offer protection by de
claring holidays, all of the banks
continued to transact their regular
business.
The temporary suspension of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company is not regarded among the
local financial institutions as mean
ing anything more than a matter of
protection of the interests of deposit
ors.
The banks of San francisco have
on deposit in Eastern banks large
amounts. This puts them in strong
position, flor they are calling on
Eastern banks for cash which is
arriving at the rate of about 81, 600, :
COO day.
1t is to be noted in this connection
that notwithstanding the furry and
shortage of cash, there has been no
stoppage of work of any kind in San
Francisco AT the banks checks for
pay rolls are promptly paid in gold,
as we'll as are those for ordinary com
mercial transactions. For large
transactions, involving great amounts,
clearing house certificates are used
in lieu of cash, serving the same pur-
pose. An Investigation into condi-
lions through the state, made by the
California promotion committee,
shows an era of extraordinary crops;
with record high prices paid to agri-
culturists for them. This has
brought an immense amount of money
into the state which has greatly in
creased the deposits of the interior

Is the situation to be met with an
era Of antagonism? There is every
reason to believe that there are Just
grounds for denouncing the railroads
for their shortsightedness in further
ing their selfish ends at the expense of
the public good but in denoun-
cling them and by using harsh
antagonisms are the ends of
public needs best served? What
AZ needed now is constructive work and
thoughtful business men in all lines of
trade are grasping this solution of the
problem. Speaking OF this phase of
the matter recently one of the lead
ing manufacturers of the country said:
"A story of this situation should

the quickest and broadest development
possible of the transportation interests
