MILLION DOLLARS
IN ONE Street
Richmond Attracting Inyest-
ment Capital From Inland
Cities in Large Amounts

r. T. Shannon. the Richmond real
estate dealer with offices in the Russ
building, has made the calculation that
over million dollars has been invested
in lots in one street alone, Cutting
boulevard, in the new city across the
bay In explanation of this he says
People are now beginning TO realize
the strategic position of Richmond as
q great railroad terminus and deep
water harbor. Shrewd investors are
buying boulevard sites and corner lots
in the main thoroughfare.
Cutting boulevard. four miles long
and 10 feet wide. destined to be the
main artery from Oakland and Berke-
ley 10 the water front and business dis
tricts of Richmond. has been the scene
Of greatest activity. When the har-
Dor improvements, near the foot of
this street, are completed, the land
around here Will rise 10 very high
values.
so far il has been merchants and
capitalists from znterior cities that
have invested most heavily in Rich
mond. Coming into San Francisco over
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, they
have seen the favorable situation Of
KlCnmcnu and nave come 10 tne con-
clusion that IL must grow UP into a
great industrial city Where the Rookie
fellers, the Pullman people and other
great combinations of capital have put
their money in industrial plants run

70 be a good sign OF safety for the
small investor.
san Francisco people have been
slower to see this and take advantage
Of the situation than others, and j att
tribute this TO the fact that they have
not taken the trouble to go there and
look the ground over Once they do
that they must be convinced of the fu-
ture Ereatn of Richmond
A recent development that means
much for Richmond is the fact that
men Of means, who have business in
terests there. are now beginning to
build handsome homes in the city, in
stead Of going over to Berkeley and
oakland All the convenfences of city
life can now be had in Richmond
electricity, gas, water and telephone
service and street improvements. The
city is now on the eve Of great
building boom and. in fact. it is al
ready started. Richmond is on the
map TO stay"
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-26

The discussion brought about by the
recent publication of the official census
has called attention again to the re-
marka bic development of San Fran
ciscos suburbs To the man who is
familiar with the experience of other
large cities. however, the only sur
prise is caused by the fact that the
peninsula towns are not more thickly
populated than they are; this condi-
tion is readily accounted for, though
little understood, even by the large
majority OF our own people
Every man familiar with the topog
raphE Of great cities sees in the PENN
sula the natural place of residence for
the San Franciscan who wants a home
Of his own. with a little elbow room
for himself and family. Owing to the
mild California winters the local sub
urbanite enjoys the beauty of lawns
and flowers all the year round. an at
traction unknown to the dwellers in
eastern and middle western cities.
Another inducement which leads
people into the suburbs is the remark
able change Of climate a few miles Of
riding out of San Francisco will give
one. II was Inevitable that San Fran
cisco should have a large suburban
population.
BENEFIT OF TRANSPORTATION
Unfortunately the peninsula country
with it's beautiful climate was barred
TO home seekers by high range of
hills and the consequent lack Of quick
transportation. AS a result the trans
bay cities with their cheap ferry SER
vice gradually absorbed the large home
building class, until today a third of
San Francisco's real population is polit-
ically separated from the mother city
by the waters of the bay.
San Francisco's real suburban site
the peninsula-was practically inacces-
sible to all but the very rich. who
quickly took advantage of the beauti-
ful country and made Burlingame and
its surroundings famous the world
over But a change was imminent and
IL came with the completion of the
$1,000, 600 Southern Pacific cutoff. which
reduced the time to Easton and Bur
lingame nearly half, bringing these

Eastop and Burlingame, which few
years ago were unpopulated areas be-
longing to the Easton. Howard and
Scott estates. today claim a population
of nearly 5000 and this is just the
beginning
one of the most attractive of all the
Peninsula homesites is undoubtedly
Easton, because the owners of the tract
have planned from the very outset TO
make it so. Easton is still direct
part Of the Easton estate, the palatfal
home of which adjoins the lots now on
sale The first step taken was to install
every Improvement and comfort that
the big city affords-streets, curbs,
sidewalks, sewers, trees, electric lights.
telephones.
RESTRICTIONS PROTECT BUYER
The next step was to protect every
buyer by carefully planned restrictions
intended to make Easton the ideal
home town and to see that they were
carried out to the letter. AS a result
Easton has with little publicity attract
ed large number of desirable home
seekers, who proceeded to put their
ideals of beautiful homes into subs tan
tial form, giving Easton the most at
found on the entire peninsula.
Burlingame terrace has been laid out
with the same wise forethought for the
future by providing all the comforts
and conveniences of the city.
Soon the big Peninsula electric rail-
way will complete the few miles still
unfinished, thus giving all of Burlin-
game the finest electric suburban sys-
TEN in the west for the new line will
be equipped with the most modern high
power motors available.
Another favorable fact about Burlin-
game is that it has never experienced
a boom. Progress has been slow but
steady, and the winter months, when
most suburban tracts are withdrawn
from the market have witnessed some
of the heaviest sales. This not only
reflects credit on the improvements of
the property, but bespeaks a careful
and desirable Glass Of buyers and home
builders
