ture shows the general character of the
structure The general lines of con-
struction will follow closely the high

mob HILL ADORNMENTS
Attention will be directed anew to
Mob hill by a diagram prepared by a
l0Ca1 arPlifarf,1ral firpa in, rrhf
representation is made of what the sky
line of the famous hill will look like
in the immediate vicinity of the Fair
mont hotel, Pacific Union club, Univer-
sity club and Episcopal cathedral. In
this connection the same firm has pre-
pared plans for a proposed 10 story
apartment house to stand on the south
west corner of California and Jones
streets, occupying a site nearly a full
SO vara in size. 49, -. -
The sky line diagram mentioned
shows that the great proposed apart
ment house will overlook all the build
ings in existence or to be erected in
the neighborhood. commanding a full
view of the city and the bay to the east
as well as to the north and south This
departure may be considered as the
second matter of more than common
interest that has been alluded to.
The current transactions of the week
have not been of large size as rule
One sale is reported to have repre-
sented valuation of s275,0 for a
piece Of downtown property. but the
details were not given out. lease of
$4,000 has been reported. Several
deals of large size are reported by the
brokers in realty to be nearly coasum-
mated. Trading figures I'm several of
these to a varying extent. In the
brokerage Offices a little more interest
would seem to be manifested by the
public.
Between the present densely popu
lated part of Richmond and the Bakers
beach section large amount of street
work is in progress, indicating that the
march of Richmond will continue with
out interruption.
The number of buildings of high cost
IN construction or arranged for in
architects Offices is sufficient to have
formed a subject of general comment
at any time preceding that phenomenal
period of construction that began after
the great confagration. This fact
shows, without question, confidence in
the solid values of the city, while it is
not attended by any speculative con-
ditions
