Berkeley Realty Booms

BERKELEY. April 22.-In spite of
one wet and forbidding day, the last
week has been a record one in Berkeley
real estate, and the increase in the
sales during the last few days gives
promise of a tremendous summer bust
ness. According to realty experts on
both sides of the bay who have
the faculty of noticing the straws that
tell which way the wind is going to
blow Berkeley is to be the objective
point for home seekers during this
summer In fact, the popularity of
Berkeley as residence section is grow
ing to the proportions of a boom.
This is not the boom which comes
suddenly 70 a community and in which
values are inflated, but the normal
healthy growth of a section which is
particularly suitable for certain pur-
pose. OF course, Berkeley is pre-emi-
nently the home city; the climate and
surroundings, the system of municipal
government, the class of homes already
here and the individual pride of the
rank and file of residents-all these
things have made and are making for

COMMISSION VIEWS
NORTHBRAE PARKS
Civic Body Pleased With Indian
Burial Grounds After In
spectiOn in Automobile

BERKELEY, April 22-In informally
accepting the five rockery parks at
Northbrae today the park commission
ers, some of whom had not seen these
charming spots before, expressed the
unanimous opinion that this feature of
the northern section would prove a
source of perennial pleasure to the
public.
The commissioners, F. S. Naylor, B.
j. Blther, e. +. Wieland and Dr. w. w.
Underhill, drove out to Northbrae in
an automobile and were deeply inter
ested in the improvements in that sec
ton They stopped to watch the op-
eratlons of the great steam shovel ex-
cavat1ng for the Southern Pacific tunnel
at Inc Circle, and were particularly
dellghted with the ancient Indian relics
at mortar Rock park, the shell mound.
the mortars cut out of solid stone, and
the natural camping places. They ex-
pressed their astonishment that such
commonplace objects as rocks could be
transformed into such beautiful spots,
and praised the Landscape architect.
Prof. f. E. Mansell, for his skill and
artistic taste in planning the parks
consider that Berkeleyans are par
ucularly fortunate in having such
really delightful public places as these
parks are, said Commissioner Wieland.
and Professor Mansell is to be con-
graduated in having created them.
mere is no doubt but they will attract
thousands of people from both sides of
the bay during the summer.
Not only are the parks UNIQUE in
themselves, but their arrangement is
mighty ingenious and artistic and en-
nance the beauty as well as the yalue
OF the property. These grassy, velvety
slopes at Indian rock, with the grav-
eied, geranium bordered paths, the
trees and shady hooks, and the winding
stairways in the solid rock; the steep
paths and the grotto in Grotto rock.
and the Indian relics at the middle
park, are unique park features. The
others are splendid examples of the
formal garden and how it should be an
piled in laying out cities or communi
ties"
The commissioners spoke enthusi-
asucally of the stretch of bay view
which II will be impossible to obstruct
and of the future in store for North
brae when the three lines of Southern
Pacific and the Key Route have estab-
hshed their stations there After visit
ing Indian parks they proceeded to

the popularity of this city as a place
OF refined and artistic homes, and at
tract the most desirable people here.
In the newer sections of this city,
such as Northbrae and Berkeley
heights, the attractive manner in which
the streets are being laid out with pub
lie parks and Fairgrounds, and the re-
strictions which are being imposed. in
sure only the most desirable residents,
and many of those who have bought
in this charming neighborhood are al
ready building. By autumn there will
be at least score of handsome houses
on this tract. Among the attractive
residences built are those of Miss E.
Corvell and w. B. Sturgeon. The Ok
ford street school is nearby the North
brae tract
Elmer l. Rowel1, sales manager of
the Mason -McDuffie company, is most
optimistic about the new addition, and
predicts that it will be the most fash
ionable residence portion of this side
this summer will see more people COM
Ing to Berkeley to live than in any
previous season. Rowell said
If the increasing business of the last
three weeks is an indication of the forth
coming season. and 1t is, this will
be a phenomenal year in Berkeley realty.
OF course, our sales have greatly Increased
this season because of the beauty and de-
are to be the most popular in the city be-
cause of their accessibility. There will be
three lines OF the Southern Pacific and one
Of the Key Route before the end of the
season, and people who visit this tract
can see for themselves, the tracks are being
laid, the sales are naturally increasing by
leaps and bounds, and will continue to do
so as the street laying and flower and tree
planting goes on. We sold II lots in Berkeley
heights alone last week. and two of these
