MANY SUNNYSlDE
ADVANTAGES SHOWN
New Subdivision Has Grand
View, Good Car Service, and
Is Growing Fast
By CHARLES P. ROGERS

The new subdivision of San Fran
cisco, Sunnyside. located practically in
the geographical center of San Fran
cisco. % minutes from the city hall.
on seven different electric car lines.
has attained a high place in the San
Francisco realty market. Its general
location. together with its accessibility
and modern facilities. Is making OF
Sunnyside a thriving community. The
city has recently completed another
splendid school. costing in the neigh
borhood OF $1,000. Homes are spring
ing up like mushrooms. stores and
other business houses are being in
stalled.
The great Sutro forest. with thou
sands OF acres OF eucalyptus trees. ad-
joins Sunnyside on the west The
gentle south slope OF the hills and
splendid panorama in front make a
very desirable home site Twenty-Five
hundred people are now living in this
community Numerous homes are un-
der course OF construction and many
more are contemplated.
The Rogers & Stone Co.. owners OF
Sunnyside, placed this property on the
market in a very novel way. selling
lots on small payments and building
houses in the same way, so that pur-
chasers could stop paying rent imme-
diately and apply that TO their own
homes 1t apparently has appealed very
strongly to the San Francisco public.
The first idea that strikes the pur-
chaser is, What is the car service car
fare and distance from the center OF
the city?' The writer has endeavored
to explain these conditions in this
article.
Everybody in San Francisco is ask
ing this one question today. Where
will there be room for the increasing
horde OF humanity to live ). 10 and
Is years from now2" The problem
reverts itself to the properties within
easy access to the center Of the city.
Our crowded flats and hotels speak
very loudly Of the truth OF these state
ments. The exigency- OF the present is
enough to cause the most conservative
investor to realize the significance OF
these facts
The San Francisco bay, that grand
body of water which every San Fran
ciscan points to with pride swelling
the heart, is monument to the
future of this great city.
A trip TO Sunnyside is a treat TO
any one. as ii gives an idea as to the
great building and development pro-
gression in that section or San Fran
cisco which leads to the Golden gate.
Any car marked 10 on the box or any
car which transfers to this car or
any of the Guerrero street car lines
run direct TO Sunnyside. One can see
what the Rogers & Stone Co. and
residents of Sunnyside are doing for
that section of our city. There Is one
five cent fare to Sunnyside, and view
of the bay and Sutro forest when you
get there

dollars between them in profits.
CHOICE RESIDENCE DISTRICTS

In addition to sthe ordinary growth
of Richmond, which has been very
large, the business streets of the dis
trict have enjoyed the advantage of
being adjacent to two important ex-
clusively residential sections-the Pre-
sidio terrace and a very large collection
of houses in the Jordan tract--in both
of which the tablishment of any busi-
ness is prohibited by restrictions that
run with the deeds.
Announcement is made by Lyon &
Hoag that still another exclusively res
idential tract of high class viii soon
be opened up what is known as the
Bunker property In the southwest
ern part of the district many streets
have been opened in the last few years,
all of which command fine marine
views A large number of houses have
been built at Oceanside, where Sol Getz
& Son have opened up many blocks.
The outlook for the Richmond district
is brighter than IT has been at any
preceding time.

OLD LAWSUIT ENDS
ANDSALE FOLLOWS
Deal Is Consummated After
Seven Years in the
Courts


After nearly seven years of litiga-
tion the sale of the B ldwin Annex
made by Thomas Magee & Sons in
1902 has been finally consummated.
Those interested in real estate mat
ters will probably remember that i'm
mediately after the sale was made un-
der a written authorize ton from the
late E. j. Baldwin to the above firm
Baldwin began a lawsuit in which the
authority of William A. Magee and
Thomas Magee, the surviving partners
of the old firm of Thomas Magee &
Sons, to make the sale was denied.
This contract. it was intended, was
Cancelled by the death of Thomas Ma
gee Sr. and the surviving pa6tners. it
was claimed. had no legal right to
sell the property under the original
authorization.
A. Aronson, the purchaser. and the
Magees were made defendants in this
suit and their right TO make a con-
tract of sale and Aronson's right to
purchase under 1t were confirmed by a
Judgment in the superior court by
Judge Murasky.
E. J. Baldwin in his lifetime appealed
from this decision and the matter had
just reached the supreme court, when
the fire of 1906 destroyed all the court
records in the case and delayed mat
ters further. Several attempts were
made to compromise the case after the
fire. but these all failed.
After Baldwin's death the executor
of his estate offered to sell the prop
erty as per the terms of the original
contract for s45o,o00 and Aronson ac-
cepted the offer, although the building
which was on the lot in 1902 was de-
stroyed in the fire OF 1906. The papers
are all signed and will be recorded at
once.

STIFF PRICES FOR LOTS
Property holders generally are re-
ported to be asking stiff prices for
their lots on the boulevard. The Gre
alton of this line of travel gives them
a value for residential purposes and
possibly for business purposes that
they would not have attained in many
years in any other way; although the
present built up business streets in
Richmond have extended their busi-
ness operations to within a block of
the eastern line of the boulevard. The
general expectation is that the growth
of the residence section west of the
boulevard will be greatly stimulated
and that this will hasten the extension
of the business thoroughfares west
ward.
FINE STREETS IN DISTRICT
While the boulevard will be the
most picturesque thoroughfare in the
Richmond district. that region already
has fine streets of the width of which
1t can boast On the east border is
First avenue, which is the Van Ness
avenue of that section. OF great
width also is Point Lobos avenue,
of Richmond east and west, between
First avenue and the ocean. Califor
MIA street is also very wide.
All these principal streets have fine
views of different points. Lake street
is noted for the. fine residences and
elegant residential sites that line its
course for many blocks. Clement
street is quite wide. The entire Rich
mond district undoubtedly will be
benefited by the near approach of the
completion of the boulevard.

MADE An OLD
SPRAYER NEW

To a community which uses so
much machinery as does the Wenat-
chez valley, an expert mechanic who
thoroughly understands machinery OF
all kinds is valuable man. George
Calentine is a genius at making and
repairing ell things of machine ma
ture. The gentleman was for sew
eral years superintendent of one of
the big Fairbanks-Morse factories,
and he has had wide experience in
both the theoretical and practical
work of scientific workman. AS an
inventor he has added many valu-
able patents to the worlds labor saw
ing devices, and recently he has per-
fected an apple picker which is sure
to prove almost indispensable to
fruit growers. Mr.. Calentine plans
in the not distant future to build a
machine shop and foundry in We
natchee.
AS an illustration of his power to
make the most of bad Layout"
Mr.. Scott, a newcomer who has just
begun ranching, took an old sprayer
belonging to z. A. Lanham to Calen-
tine. tnd asked If the wreck could
possibly be used. The machine was
picked up from Mr.. Lanham's junk
pile. Today Mr.. Scott Is using the
sprayer in his orchard and thinks it
is about faultless.
So successful was Calentine with
this piece of work that he secured
another abandoned sprayer and has
completely renovated it, and now has
that for sale at his shop. on Wenat-
chez avenue, next to the Eagle Liv-
cry barn.
Most of Calentine's time is spent
in doing small repair work on lawn
mowers, bicycles and all kinds Of
small farm and home machinery. But
he hopes in the near future to en-
gage more extensively in a manufac-
turing business.

include all that has been done, but it
gives a fair idea of the diversity of
the chambers activities.
Stun conditions have been minimized
by action of the chamber in obtaining
a building code which prohibits the
erection of unsanitary and unsafe
buildings and undue %crowding, and at
this writing the chamber is preparing
a code to prevent the occupancy of old
buildings which do not conform to the
regulations passed by the City Coun-
Gil.

enactment of the now building laws, 1t
was discovered that in one district of

1900, there were only eleven bath
tubs. and most of those We're not in a

of the chamber undertook a careful
