GERMAN SAVINGS
DECIDES TO LOAN
individuals May Borrow to the
Amount OF S25,OOO for
Building Purposes
This Action Will Be a Great
Stimulus to Those Who
Want 10 Own Homes

It will be good news to those who
desire TO build that at a meeting of
the board OF directors OF the German
savings and loan society last Thursday
it was decided to loan TO individuals
as high as S25,000 for building pur-
poses.
This action will give a great slim
ulus to building and undoubtedly many
will take advantage OF these loans to
erect homes. This means. also. that
the example of the German bank viii
be followed by other banks, and we
shall see loans probably amounting to
100000 or 100000 made each week
This money will be loaned at per
cent gross, which is equivalent to ;
per cent net. The fact that the bank is
prepared TO make these loans is an
evidence of the fact that money is
growing easier. 1t will mean also that
we shall experience quite boom in
home building. 1t will also stimulate
the market for people who were re-
luctant to buy who. though they had
means for q lot. were without the
money to make Improvement.

HOLLY PARK GIVEN
DUE RECOGNITION
Affiliation of Improvement Clubs
Gives Confidence to District
and Insures Betterments


d. Coffin & Co. note that the resi-
dence section of the Mission district is
rapidly extending toward the Holly
park neighborhood and that the affilia-
ton of the Improvement clubs of the
Mission and Holly Park with those
south of Thirtieth street will assure
this district the recognition 1t rightly
deserves.
The primary object of the clubs in
combining their efforts is to rush the
completion of the laying of gas mains
and the improvements of the streets in
the Holly Park district, where the
opportunities OF the laboring man for
securing a home on extremely easy
terms are greater today than ever be-
fore.

Large Number of Inquiries Made
for Property Indicates a
Strong Market

If confidence can be placed in the
number of inquiries concerning prob
able transactions San Francisco should
witness a strong market in the course
of the next few months.
Every real estate man reports that
he has had more people asking ques-
tions about property tnan. he has had
for many months, and in his judg
ment it is with the view of making
investments. Leasing, too, has taken
a fresh squirt, and offices are being
taken rapidly.
In commenting on the real estate
situation G. T. Lyon of Lyon & Hoag
remarked
There is a greater demand for Offices now
than there has beea for several months. Pro-
fessicnal men have commepced to realize that

in all directions houses are springing up and
1t is safe 10 sag that there are as many houses
being built now as there were this time last

People can build houses now at low cost and
slso rent them low and yet make more money
out OF their investment than they did when
rents were high, for then the cost of building
excessive.
