NORTH BEACH ACTIVITY
There Is a Growing Inquiry for
Property in That Section

There is more inquiry about North
beach property today than possibly any
other part of town. according to real
estate men. People are looking for
homes TO rent. and there is also a brisk
inquiry for lots on which 10 build flats.
L. :. +. Holmes of Lyon & HOaG in
speaking about this said:
The district between Powell and
Taylor streets north Of Clay TO Broad
way is attracting more attention than
ever before III its history. The people
making these inquiries are seeking to
build flats of the better class, and if the
immigration 10 this part Of town con-
tinues il viii be one OF the most dense
~ populated quarters of San Francisco.
The only reason can find is that it has
q good car service. which does more to
build UP d section than any other ad-
vantage. Then the high rents are driv-
ing people TO build. and those who want
10 be right in town are seeking North
Beach property.
All real estate men are confident that
rents will have TO take a still bigger
fall. They attribute the exodus from
the city. which has been larger than
for many years. to the country solely to
high rents, but say that when winter
approaches those who went away will
be compelled TO return. These people
hope that by that time rents viii be
normal.
There has already been a noticeable
vicinity of Fillmore, and it is expected
that they will come down still more
when professional men begin to move
downtown. The fact that there are still
a great many professional Jnen up town
helps to keep up rents.

REHABILITATION OF
PARROT BUILDING
Work Being Completed and the
Emporium Will Return Soon
to Old Home
Many Retail Merchants Realize
the Importance of Down.
town Locations

The Parrott building in Market street
is being rapidly rehabilitated, and the
contractors are confident that by Oc-
tober 1 the Emporium will be able to
move in and occupy its old quarters.
This will be one of the most important
happenings of the year. for the retail
business done by this establishment is
the largest in the west, and the fact
that it is down town will bring to
Market street class of trade which
has done little buying outside of van
Ness avenue.
The knowledge that the Emporium
was so soon TO move down town has
greatly stimulated inquiry in the dlr-
ferent real estate offices. Retail mer-
chants are beginning TO realize how
important it is for them to secure To-
cations. The rapid completion OF big
buildings and the leasing of stores be-
fore structures are completed have
made likely locations difficult to OBJ
tain, and real estate man, in dis
cussing this phase of the market, OBJ
served that strange as it may seem,
good locations for stores are at a
premium despite all the big buildings
that have been opened"
He explains this by saying that there
are so many more stores than there
were before the fire, and furthermore
the big shops were using so much more
floor space than formerly that store
frontage is not easily obtainable. The
small retail dealer, therefore, cannot
afford to delay in getting down town.

SUFFER- STREET BUILDING
Work Is Commenced on the
New Sloane Structure

Kearny and Grant avenue, and judging
from the large force of men employed
there viii be no delay in putting in the
foundations for the Sloane building.
The steel has been stored. in the city for
several months and the only delay was
in securing the funds to start opera
tions.
Mrs. Rose raised $500, 900 on the prop
erty and the next day excavation was
commenced, which is a proof of her
wish to hasten the completion of the
structure The building viii be hand
some addition TO Sutter street.
The work on the White House, at the
southeast corner Of Sutter street and
Grant avenue, is progressing rapidly
and the contractors think it will be
completed before the time called for.
The Davis -SchOnWasser building, at
the northeast corner, is also being rap
idly pushed ahead. 1t is limited that
the lot on the east of the building,
which has a narrow frontage, will be
occupied soon by a building and that a
well known businessman will take a
