INQUIRY ADJOURNED
Grand jury Postpones Exami-
nation Until Tuesday, Owing
to Lack of Quorum

The grand jury failed yesterday af-
ternoon to continue its examination
into the affairs of the Market street

at the meeting that was specially called
for the purpose, and an adjournment
was taken until Tuesday afternoon.
Upwards of 1000 claims have been
filed with Receiver MooSer of the Mar
ket street bank. MooSer is keeping
the bank open two evenings every week
for the purpose of enabling the de-
positors who are unable to get around
in the day time to file their claims. At
least another thousand claims will be
required before a dividend will be de-
clared.

two crews of surveyors running lines

at as early a date as possible. In ad-
dition TO the surveyors a gang of
woodmen are employed in clearing off
the underbrush and other obstructions
from the streets and bypaths. Care is
taken in this work, however, not to
destroy any of the large redwoods, or
other trees that add to the beauty of
the park
During the week a number Of well
known San Franciscans have visited
Redwood park. and their opinion Of
the place is expressed by the fact that
they returned and purchased as many
lots as the company would allow one

GROWTH OF BURLINGAME
Al idea OF the growth Of Burlingame
can be had when il is stated on the
authority Of Lyon & Hoag that for two
OF three years lots and villa sites sold
in Burlingame have aggregated close
TO 5000.
The majority Of the purchasers
have now completed their payments on
the lots and are erecting homes on
them" said q member Of the firm. 1T
is hard 10 realize the extent Of the
building operations unless the facts
are called TO the attention. The sec
retary Of the Burlingame water works
states that the company made 25 con-
nections during August, and this is
not an unusual occurrence. It means
that during the year somewhere be-
tween 250 and 500 new homes have
been built
