RICHMOND DISTRICT
MAKES GREAT STRIDES
Extension of Car Lines and Park
improvements Are Factors

There is no part Of city which Is
making more rapid progress than the
Richmond district, owing to the open
ing and grading of Fulton street to
the beach, Immediately adjoining Gold
on Gate park. 1t is understood
that the park commissioners intend 70
build a 100 foot boulevard in Golden
Gate park adjacent to Fulton street.
This boulevard is eventually TO en-
circle the entire park, and promises 70
become one. Of the famous drives IN
this country Assurance is given by
the United Railroads that a large force
of men will begin laying the tracks IN
Fulton street to the beach by the mo
die of May. and the companys ofnciais
state that they are reconstructing their
tracks In McAllister street so as to be
able TO put large cars on this road.
A large sewer will be laid in tui-
ton street, and an outlet is planned TO
be tunneied through Sutro heights, 10
q point opposite Lime point At c .,se
of nearly half a million dollars-the
entire cost to be betrayed by the city
with money realized through the bond
issue.
The westerly end OF the district ly-
ing between Fulton street and Point
Lobos avenue is being opened, streets
are being graded and macadamized and
sewers laid. This section OF Richmond
district. with its gentle sunny slope 70
the south; its unexcelled view of the
beach, the ocean and Golden Gate park
is the most beautiful and attractive
residence portion of the city new
grammar school has been finished in
this vicinity.
The district is well supplied with
streetcars, having the McAllister mad
Fulton street cars, which will make the
trip from the beach to the ferries in
about 80 minutes: the Clement and
Point Lobos avenue line: the Ocean
Shore in C street, and the proposed
Geary street extention line. This
means a direct car line on nearly every
street in the district.
The prices of property in this vi
cinity are still very low and inviting
to the home seeker and speculator.
