J. W. Bloom. manager of the ocean
View townsite company. whose subdi-
vision was recently put on the market,
makes the following statement:
Our tract is situated directly oppo-
site the Spring Valley water company's
Lake Merced property, which will un-
douhtedly be the location for the Pan
ama-Paciic exposition. Our intention
at first was TO hold our property until
next year before offering any of 1T to
the public, as land values will inevi-
tably advance as soon as the official
announcement is made of the exposi-
ton site.
But upon second thought we de-
cided to put the tract on sale now at
low rates for the purpose OF attracting
bona fde home makers, who will start
the building OF a good class of resi-
dences.'
ON THE PENINSULA
A tract that is attracting the atten-
tion of home builders generally is the
beautiful Easton addition to Bur
lingame. Originally a part of the big
Easton estate. 1t was placed on the
market as site for suburban home
seekers. Instead of placing the tract
in the hands of promoters, as Is often
done, the estate decided to keep con-
troll Of the site and to supervise all i'm
provements through it's agent, f. j
Rodgers.
The wisdom of this move was soon
apparent Not only were streets, side
walks, sewers and other improvements
thoroughly constructed, but the buyers
were protected in their rights by a
strict enforcement of the clauses and
restrictions intended TO make Easton 6
home site for particular people.
Only few of the attractive homes OF
Easton are visible from the depot, the
larger and higher part of the tract
being on the west side of the county
road-El Canine real. Here a large
number of pretentious homes are al
once in evidence. The tract above the
county road is on gently rolling ground
affording perfect draining and beau
tiful view from the higher parts. Every
visitor who inspects Easton admits
that 1t is soon to become the most pop
ular suburb of San Francisco, even as
it is now the most attractive.
The big San Francisco stores deliver
orders to Eastoh just as they do in the
heart of San Francisco, giving the same
shopping facilities a. in the city

terrace for DIR. ]. R. Peterson.
The Swiss chalet style of architec-
| ture in this house is particularly well
adapted to the rising knoll on which II
! will be situated This style of house
seems to be very popular in the SUI
| burban districts, as good many of the
| people who purchased home sites in
Burlingame terrace and who intend to
| build homes for themselves are follow
! ing the Swiss chalet architecture in
perfecting their plans.
The warm climate that prevails ir
Burlingame makes it possible for the
builder to design houses of this kind
for the wide, roomy eporches and gen.
eral open air" design could not be ap-
| preciated in a climate of less even tenn
l perature.
