An agent gave demonstration of a
patent fire escape at the High School
building last Friday afternoon. The
escape consists of a canvass chute which
is attached to the window sill of the
upper stories, and the children slide
down the chute which is held up by
parties at the lower end. The scholars
had great time trying the escape and
it seems to fill the bill. We understand
the school board is contemplating pur-
chasing several for the Leon school
buildings.

and will continue to march ahead until
it has arrived abreast of the state at
large.
In addition it must be recolected that
at the time of the disaster San Fran
cisco was practically without debt and
that it's individual citizens had less
mortgage Indebtedness collectively than
almost any other city of Importance in
the country
Our credit had been of the highest
and as soon as the effects of our inn
mediate trouble wore off we were en-
abled to finance our affairs both public
ly and privately with comparative ease.
As the metropolitan financial center
of the coast the citizens had many out
side interests, all of which have con-
tinued feeding in stream of gold to US.
Briefly. we have had immense reserve
resources, which were drawn upon and
have aided in the restoration of our
city Add TO this, wonderful courage,
confidence and loyalty of every one in
San Francisco and you have the rea-
sons why real estate has maintained
substantially its status quo.
There have been individual cases
throughout the city whore property has
sold for low prices as compared with
its reputed value of four years ago,
but this is likely to occur at any time,
rejecting usually special cases of dis
tress which would occur in almost
any market.
Sales of this nature will occur from
time to time for some period. but
think that it is safe to say that the
worst is now well passed-that bed
rock has been more than reached, and
that the bargain hunters had better act
quickly If they are to acr at all.
The records of the Spring Valley
water company now show that at this

the last few years has been in allow
ing many of our business and pro-

those things that will tend, not only
to keep our people a home, but will
induce others to come.
tunnel through Twin peaks. open
ing up and making favorable for home
sites the large area south of Golden
Gate park. would be a big event in the
development of San Francisco.
The converting of the city cemeteries
at Thirty-third avenue. along the hills
near the Cliff house, would make the
city more attractive. especially if a
boulevard were built through the Presi-
oio grounds to it and connecting it with
Golden Gate park.
Electric car lines should be built
wherever it is possible TO bring new
territory contributing to the business

Our city limits should be extended

BEAUTIFUL HOMES
IN DINGEE PARK
Purchasers in Popular Tract
Erecting Fine Residences

The Redwood City woman's club has
decided to build in Dingee park and
has secured permission from the city
city council to place a mission bell at
the right of the entrance of the park.
The new clubhouse will add materially
to the beauty Of the tract and be Il
source of great pleasure to the women
living in the vicinity.
Louis Jensen is occupying his cottage
opposite the Arch street plaza. He
owns one Of the most beautiful lots in
the tract. His family is thoroughly
enjoying the advantages that the park
affords.
Just across from the Jensen home
G. H. Gerwin is preparing to buiid.
Gerwin's lot is within a block of the
entrance and at the corner of Arch
street and Broadway.
Henry Marcus is settled in his bunga-
low in Birch street near Broadway
and is rapidly improving one of the
prettiest places in the neighborhood.
There is probably no one now build
ing in Dingee park who owns a finer
lot than DR.. G. B. Yount. His property
at the intersection of Duane street and
Broa dway, facing the Duane street
plaza, couples a frontage of nearly $50
feet. He is erecting one of the finest
residences In the park.
IN b1rcn street near EleNenln. q.
block and half from the Yount house,
Richard Barrett of San Francisco is
erecting his home, which is fast near
ing completion.
Carl Beeger and James V Newman
have begun to build their bungalows.
the former in Broadway between Hud-
son and Iris streets and the latter in
Duane street facing the plaza, at the
intersection of Broadway, Duane and
Eleventh streets.
This week bids were opened for H.
o. Heiner's bungalow in Broadway be
tween Fulton and Elwood streets and
for George Gunther's house, two blocks
below, between Hudson and Grand
streets.
Charles Miller expects to build oppo-
site the Duane street plaza. His prop
erty has a frontage of 24S feet and it
is expected that he will construct a
beautiful place.
Among others who expect to build
are Lawrence Heiner, at the corner of
Broadway and Grand street, almost
across the street from the Gunther
property and not far from H. o. Hell
ner's lot.
There is no doubt but that within q
year, so Baldwin & Howell report, be-
tween rs and 100 homes will be erected
or in course of erection in Dingee park
Most of these homes will cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.
