Home PROPERTIES
IN Big DEMAND
Lake Street and Preside Wall
District Is Favored by
Investors

Although the speculative market in
real estate is not by any means as
strong as it has been in the past. there
is. however, a good demand for resi-
denee property.
Purchasers are more and more in
clined to buy where property has been
put in first class condition. 1t would
seem that the bituminizing of streets,
laying stone sidewalks, etc, is the best
way of attracting purchasers.
The scene of greatest activity in the
sale of residence sites and in building
operations is in that district between
Lake street and the Presidio wall. Va
rious agents report sales in this district
at advancing prices. Lyon & Hoag,
who are selling West Clay park, have
| in the last two weeks effected eight
sales OF vacant lots amounting in value
| to $2S.500 and have also sold for the
account of S. A. Born & Son the Italian
| villa residence, which is now about hall
completed.
| This section between Lake street and
the Presidio wall has been helped i'm
mensely by the very large amount OF
| new bituminized streets laid recently
The property, always naturally attract
| i've by reason of its commanding views
| was held back in the past by the lack
of such conVeniences.

TO Lower GRADES
Of BEAL and main

Since the property owners have re-
Gently agreed with the city to lower
the grade of BeaIe street, from Folsom
street south to Bryant, it appears that
there is an active movement by the
recent buyers in the district Of Main
street to lower that level at the same
time.
Applications are to be filed by prop
erty owners requesting the board OF
public works to grade Main, Harrison.
Beale and Folsom streets TO the level
of Howard street, so as to give the
heavy vehicle teaming in this district
the use OF all three streets instead OF
being compelled to use Spear street,
as is now the case.

STATEHOOD BILL WAITS.
Senator'S Farley Over Right of Way,
Pledge Is Given.

The Senate declined yesterday to take
Up the bill granting Statehood TO New
Mexico and Arizona. and made the
special order the administration con-
servation BILL When Senator Money, the
minority leader, moved that the State
hood bill be made the order OF business,
following the disposition OF the conser-
walton bill. there was objection on the
part Of Senator Frye, of Maine How
ever, the pledge was given by Senators
Carter, Sm0ot. and other Republicans
that a majority of the Republican Sen
ators would vote with the Democrats to
make the Statehood bill the order Of
business after the disposition OF the con-
servation bill.
Senator Smoot expressed the opinion
that the conservation bin would be out
OF the way in two OF three days, and
that the Statehood bill could then be
given the right of way. Senator Hughes,
Of Colorado. put little faith in the prom
ises that came from the Republican side
Of the chamber.
Senator BeVeridge gave notice that he
would make the motion 20 take up the
Statehood bin as soon as the eonserva-
ton bill Is out OF the way, and Senator
Carter said there would be as many Re-
publicans as Democratic votes for the
motion.
Senator Clay called attention to the
fact that for twelve years the Republican
party has declared in favor OF Statehood
for the two Territories. and he thought
that an exhibit should be made against
the record by the party in power.
