REALTY AGENTS REPORT
san Francisco. oct Is, 1909.
Mr. Henry PayOt. Chairman Hos
pital and Health Committee. and
Mr.. Thomas Jennings, Chairman
Finance Committee:
Gentlemen-We were requested
10 report on various sites situated
in the North beach district, and
especially along the line Of the
railroad in North Point street, suit
able for garbage disposal site.
After submitting various avail
able locations ana prices, the two
80 varas situated in the east
portion Of so Eara block 203
bounded bv North Point. Taylor.
Bay and Jones streets tas per dia-
gram below was selected by Mr.
Connick and members of the COM
mittee as the site best fulfilling
all requirements.
The lowest price for which the
owner, MIR. Daniel Roth, viii sell
the. property is eighty, thousand
$50. U0o) dollars, and as he does not
care whether he sells or not it is
impossible al the present time to
secure a contract Of sale at the
above price. He demands from the
purchaser q deposit of five 90 per
cent Of the purchase price. i.e..
$4,000. before he viii contract for
the sale of the property. We would
suggest that if il is possible to
make such a deposit, on account of
the purchase price, that same be
done as soon as possible.
Very truly yours.

1 hereby state that Henry Payot
CO He'd upon me about October Is,
1909. and Informed me that the
city and county of San Francisco
desired to purchase from Daniel
Roth two so VaTa lots on the CAST
side of Taylor street between Bay
garbage destructor for the North
beach district That Roth had
agreed TO sell for $50, 900 but that
before he would sign a contract of
sale he insisted that deposit be
made OF per cent of the purchase
price, amounting 10 $4,000. Mr.. Payot
asked me on what terms I would
advance this sum, a it was abso-
lutely essential that the transac-
tion should be conducted without
undue publicity for the reason that
bitter opposition might be made
which might prevent the city from
obtaining a site for the incinerator
where il was urgently needed and
be economical 70 operate; also that
if Mr. Roth should be informed of
the city's intention a higher price
might be asked j informed Mr..
Payot that ] would not loan the
sum needed TO the city on account
Of the red tape proceedings in
NOlVed, but that ] would gladly
loan him the money on his note
without interest That j did so
loan the sum required by the city
to Mr.. Payot on his personal note.
