RARE DOlNS' TONIGHT

Some of the things you dream
about, but seldom see. are prom
ised for tonight's production of a
society circus by the Town and
Country club at the arlnory. A
home and fearfully and wonderfully
made band will furnish the music
and the bills modestly offer 101
hair-raising feats. Man-eating can
nibals from Africa will demonstrate
their appetites on any subjects vol
unteered. A street parade will in
trOduce the show.

PLENTY OF OFFICES
IN new STRUCTURES
Room for All Professional Men
Who Seek Quarters in
Downtown District
Rents Not Higher Than Before
the Fire and Buildings
Are Attractive

A thorough canvass of the office sit
uation in San Francisco has been made
by the firm of Baldwin s. Howell, and
it appears that there are about 125
buildings constructed or in course OF
construction to date. These buildings
contain 1929 offices.
R. E. Fazackerley. assistant secretary
of the firm and general manager OF
the renting department, when inter-
viewed on the subject, said:
PLENTY OF OFFICES
"A careful canvass of the situation
indicates that the city is well supplied
with offices for some time to come.
There are already 6S first class office
buildings fully constructed and in oper-
alton. These buildings contain an
aggregate of $3.50 offices. There are
1922 Offices in buildings that may be
called second class and "a other build
ings of high class construction, such as
the Phelan. First National bank. Fox
croft, Clunie, Postal Telegraph. Schroth
and others, have either recently been
completed or are close to completion,
and these contain a total of 1927 Of
fees. The proportion Of vacancies in
second class buildings is much higher
than those of class A construction. The
percentage OF vacancies in first class
buildings ranges from to 40 per cent,
and the average is about 81 per cent.
The vacancies in office buildings of an
inferior character is little more than
so per cent.
QUESTION OF BUILDING
Property owners are confronted with
the fact that vacancies now existing
and those which will arise from the
completion of office buildings in course
of construction will amount to more
than 5000 Offices. From this it would
seem that good judgment would not
suggest the construction of any more
office buildings for some time to come.
am not prepared to say how long
it will take to find tenants for the
vacant offices. Even in good times
there are vacancies and the normal
amount of vacancies will in good
times average, I presume, Is per cent.
There are. of course, exceptions to this.
Some buildings over a period of years
will run nearly 95 per cent full The
Mills building, I understand, before the
fire. showed a better average than that,
There are some buildings In the city
today which are almost full and prob
ably will remaip so.
RENTS NOT HIGHER
There is a general impression that
Office rents are higher than they were
before the fire, but this is not the
case 1 do not look for any great
reduction in rents of offices notwith-
standing the large supply. 1t would
be poor policy on the part OF owners
to cut rates to any great extent. They
must be satisfied with comparatively
small rate of interest on their invest
ments for awhile. There are several

GROWTH RETARDED
BY FIRE LIMITS
Plea Is Made That Curfailment
Would Facilitate Erection
of Residences
North of Pine Street COnstruc-
ton of Frame Dwellings
Makes Rapid Progress

". A. Wilson Of Speck, Paschel & Co.
IS confident that ii will not be long pc
fore there IS a general change for the
better in the real estate situation.
There is a decided Improvement in
the tone Of the market" he said, since
the first Of the month and inquiries
have been more frequent regarding all
classes Of property. The fact that
money is easier is another proot OF the
betterment in conditions.
If the fire limits could BE- curtailed,
so as 10 permit the erection of frame
construction west Of Taylor street, out
10 Van Ness avenue and south OF Pine
street. ii would materially help owners,
as Ii is impossible to construct build
ings for fats or apartment houses in
this district and get out of them rev.
enue at the price the land is held.
The truth of my assertion is proved
by taking a look at Pine street and
north of that thoroughfare. where re-
construction has been rapid because
the owners have been permitted TO
erect frame, structures. These have
been put up rapidly and no trouble has
been experienced in leasing them at
good rentals. Everything goes to show
that this district again will be ia
vorite residence district
1t seems a pity that this can not be
done with Suffer street. There is now
g question in the minds Of land owners
as TO the wisdom of the policy in add
ing TO the number OF office buildings,
and Sutter street should be built up
with residences. 1t means a great deal
TO the retail shop keeper to have a
large population within walking dis
tance Of the retail district
There has been an increased demand
IN the last 80 days for locations for
stores, and where rentals are fair there
IS not the slightest difficulty in sign
ing a lease. It is hard to say when the
exodus downtown Will commence. but
from the sentiment of those making in
ouiries II may be expected to commence
about the first Of the year.
Store keepers are satisfied with the
business they have been doing and say
that il IS steadily improving. They
say also that the business done by them
downtown has far exceeded their ex-
pectations"
