OFFICES RENT STEADILY
Downtown Movement Is Filling
Big New Buildings

An indication of an Improvement in
the real estate market is the more rapid
renting during the week of offices. For
time there was lull in this busi-
ness, but lately there has been evinced
disposition orr the part of profess
sional men who have had offices up
town to take part in the general DOWN
town movement. Speck, Paschel & Co..
who have the agency of the Butler
building. report that it is about 10
building is renting at the rate of one
Office a day. This Is looked upon as
exceptionally good, as the building will
not be completed until September, and
more than 25 per cent has been rented
already.
The Grace building at Third and
Mission is renting rapidly, and several
offices were taken in the big building
on the site OF the old Lick house. About
go per cent of the offices in the Mills
building have been taken.
Another indication of better times is
the continued inquiry for all classes Of
property. Money is easier and large
loans have been made during the week
The most notable of the recent loans
is that of $125,000 to the Shields estate
to build on the northeast corner of
O'Farrel1 and Stockton streets, which
was negotiated through the agency of
HarriGan, Weidenmuller & Rosenstirn.
A three story basement building will
be erected suitable to the needs of
merchants who are at present located
difficulty experienced in securing ten
ants for this building, as the location
is looked upon as one of the most de-
sirable in the city.

PROSPERITY IN MISSION
Operators Enthusiastic Over
Prospects in Growing Section

Operators in the Mission are entnu-
siastic over the prospects of this sec
tion of the city. There has been no
dullness in business. and there is a
steady growth in building.
Flats and stores have been put up
in great numbers during the summer
and as an example of the business that
is being done in the warm belt" d.
Coffin & Co. report having rented 90
flats and houses so far this month, and
they are only one of fifty agents.
Another fact should be noted by those
who are contemplating residing in the
Mission. A free market, which is one
of the finest in the state, has been
opened in Mission street near Twenty
fourth. This means that produce can
be purchased cheaply, as people can
buy direct from the grower without
having to pay tribute to the middle
man.
Coffin & Co. report a few of the
weeks transactions as follows:
Lot in east line of High street, 40 feet south

SUBTREASURY SITE
AROUSES CONTEST
Civic Improvement Associations
of Business Section Fight
for Location

Keen rivalry between two leading
civic Improvement associations of the
business portion of San Francisco has
developed as a result of the uncommon
activity which is being displayed in the
selection OF subtreasury site.
The fight centers between the North
Central improvement association, which
represents property owners and other
interests in the financial section of the
city, and the South of Market Street
Improvement association. The former
association wants the subtreasury in
the midst Of it's members and has
bounded the favored district as north
of Market street and east of Kearny.
The other association favors sites thai
have been offered and which would
prove convenient to the business in
terests south of Market street and west
of Kearny.
Lengthy petitions are the implements
of battle. Both associations have men
in the field circulating the documents.
When completed they will be forwarded
to the SECRETARY of the treasury and
those in charge of the department of
public buildings.
Edgar Painter, secretary of the North
Central Improvement association, is in
charge of that organization end of the
fight, while Charles Schlesinger and E.

south OF Market interests.
Last week property owners in vari-
Gus parts of the city offered sites for
the subtreasury building. Thirteen of
the number are located in the financial
district of the city. north of Market
street and east of Kearny. Seven sites
are south of Market street, and five To-
cations are scattered through the busi-
ness section of San Frainciso north of
Market street and west of Kearny.

CONFIDENCE INCREASES
Rapid Growth and Inquiry for
Two Flat Properties

"A notable feature of the market is
the increasing confidence and rapid
growth Of the city, and this is proved
by the strong inquiry for fiat and build
ing lot Investments" remarked Dan
O'Cailaghan.
Two fat properties at moderate
values are especially wanted. Both
outer and inner districts are equally at
rractive TO buyers In this regard. and
the buyers of building lots in almost
every instance intend TO build at once.
The movement downtown with con-
seqUent leasing of Offices, stores and
lofts. is but an indication Of the return
Of the retail business to Market and
the downtown streets once more'

NO RAISE IN ASSESSMENT
Realty Men Give Out Good News
for Property Owners

San Francisco will not be cited for
raise in assessment this year. The
information that this city would not
have its assessment raised was given
out by the equalization committee of
the San Francisco real estate board at
its meeting Thursday. The committee
in its report said that the property in
the city was assessed on an average
of SO per cent of it's actual value. The
fund which was raised for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the COM
mittee in outside counties was not
used.
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing the president of the board to ap-
point a committee to appear before the
supervisors at their next meeting and
urge q substitute resolution granting
the United Railroads a temporary Sut-
ter street permit, revocable on so
days notice, omitting the conditions
recently imposed The action Of the
Suffer street property owners was
also indorsed. The action taken by
the West of Powell street improve
ment association, in regard to the re-
building of the burned district with
small apartments. to be known az

Redwood Park Devises Popular
Plan for Subdivision

A new way of launching subdivision
has been devised by the Redwood park
owners. Their plan contemplates the
sale of a considerable number of lots
in the beginning at $40 each on the
theory that the purchasers of these lots
Will do a substantial amount of adver-
tising among their acquaintances, and
furthermore that such an unusual Of
fering as a clear deed to a lot 25x1OO
feet for the insignificant sum of $40
will create a wide interest and attract
more attention to the tract than anv
other means of publicity.
The company reports a satisfactory
business thus far. Redwood park is
designed to be a summer resort similar
to those among the redwoods of Sonoma
county and the Santa Cruz mountains.
1t is located in San Mateo county back
of Redwood City near the summit Of
