DEATHS.

Fridays session Of the assembly was
marked by new food of bills almost
equal to that Nhieh deluged the clerks
desk the second day of the session, but
40 the committees are already getting to
work II is expected that the proposed
legislation will be rapidly digested
One of the most important measures
introduced YESTERDAY vas brought forward
By Senator Charles U. G:avstt, OF Osro'
line, with the cordial support OF the
State Board OF Health. This Is bill
requiring the proper registering OF all
deaths occurring 10 the state. The bill
provides that the state be divided into
registration districts and that certih'
cate showing the cause of death 10 esch
case be issued by the physician aud
fled With the local registrar for perms'
neDt record.
This bill has long been desired by
lawyers, health officers, and physicians,
rs the lack OF legal records OF dsaths 10
Virginia greatly hsudlcsps both legal
and health work. The bill was drawn
up after consult itioD with M.jlr L. I.
Christian, former president OF the Safe
Funeral Directors Association, and has
met with very favorable comment. 1t
hes been approved by the Medical So
cietS OF Virgiuis and the Stste BIard OF
Health, and prominent members OF the
legal fraternity have strongly favored lis
passage,
As Virginia Is one oil the few states
which has not passed such q law, 1t Is
confidently believed that the registra'
ton bill will be one of The first to ap.

NEW CHURCH BUILT
IN MARKET STREET
First Baptist Congregation Ex=
poets to Have Structure
Ready for Use in June

Inc new edifice of the First Baptist
church promises to be one of the most
imposing features in upper Market
street. 1t stands at the junction of
Waier and Octavia streets, practically
eornering on Market, being on the same
situation with reference to that thor
oughfare as the Hibernia bank, far
ther down town.
The exterior of the building is prac-
hcaiiy complete, and the magnificent
DOME rising to a height of 80 feet
above the sidewalks. is conspicuous
from every part of the city.
remarkable progress has been made
in the construction since the corner
stone was<laid November 10. The work
mas proceeded without delay of any
lkind, and with the hosting of the huge
timpers Tor the frame of the dome, the
most difficult problem was solved.
Ihese timbers are of Oregon pine. 12x16
lnches/ and nearly 60 feet in length
Ihey support the. ceiling and carry the
great dome above, which is SO feet
across at the base
The auditorium will be one of the
most attractive in the city, having
abundance of light from three sides
and from the dome above 1t will seat
l,2oo persons in the main floor and gal
leries. The pews,, for which the con-
tract has been placed, are of an Ionic
design specially drawn to harmonize
with the style of the edifice.
The building so far has cost upwards
of $60,000, and it is estimated that an
additional $4,000 will complete the con-
structfon. The congregation will un-
dertake on Easter Sunday to raise this
amount In pledges covering L. months,
and it is hoped that the response to this.
effort will make possible the speedy
completion of the structure. In this
case the building probably will be
ready for use in June. The present
temporary home of the church is at

IN LOWER MARKET
Attractive Property That Can
Be Leased at Comparatively
Low Rentals

Baldwin & Howell report that there
is splendid opportunity to pick up
few choice lower Market street leases,
particularly east of Kearny. There is
no section of San Francisco where
there is a greater transient travel. and
rentals in this section will make radical
advances in the next few years.
R. Z. Fazackerley. manager of the
rent department of Baldwin & Howell
states that this section is being over
looked by businessmen for the reason
that they fear high rentals, when, as
matter of fact good locations can be
obtained in Market ssseet at less prices
than quoted in a number of other dis
tricts of less transient advantages.
There is no reason why retail es-
Establishments of every description
should not thrive in Market east of
Kearny as far as Front street." said
Fazacker1ey. "A number of first rate
stores can be had. some as low as $500
a MONTH where at least $4,000 persons
pass every day. I doubt if there is -
section in San Francisco where rents !
are relatively as cheap as they are in
this district. I presume it is because
merchants are assuming that rentals
are higher than they really are, for I
am sure if the facts were known there
would not be vacant store in Market
street between Kearny and the ferry.
Rent to most businessmen is valued
in proportion to the number of persons
who pass the establishment each day
Big retail concerns with stores scat
tered everywhere keep men who do
nothing else but count the passers by
in various localities throughout the
United States. They are the shrewdest
locaters of retail stores in the world
and have renting departments whose
sole duty il is to find locations where
rents are low in comparison to the
travel. Their ideas can well be copied
by our local merchants. who will find
that there is more travel in proportion
to the rent Sfn Market street east Of
Kearny to the ferry than in any section
of San Francisco.
