would Install Stone Crusher.

We are in touch, through our pa
per. with a certain party in Cedar
Rapids who wishes to help open up
and develop a good stone quarry In
this section. His idea Is to install
a stone crushing plant and to market
the stone among the contractors and
builders in the county at cheaper
rate than they have had to pay In
the past. We suggest to any or our
readers who have an option on a
stone quarry, that they correspond

WILL DIVIDE BIG
SAN RAFAEL TRACT
Federal Realty Syndicate Pur=
chases 500 Attractive Acres
in Marin County

The recent purchase by the Fed
eral realty syndicate of more than 500
acres of land at San Rafael is one of
the largest and most important trans
actions in suburban property that has
been repC tied for some time.
The p perty is known as the Golf
Links [ract and is one of the most
valuable tracts available for subdi-
vision within easy reach of the city. 1t
has long been sought by local real es-
tate dealers, but owing to the fact that
it was controlled by the Marin country
club all efforts to secure it heretofore
have been in vain
The Federal realty syndicate will cut
the tract up into large town lots and
villa sites. 1t proposes building a large
number of homes of such a character
as TO insure the tract being one of the
most attractive residence districts.
While the Federal realty syndicate
is new company, it has made rapid
strides. The directors and advisory
board are William II. High, Charles f.
Runyon. Allan Pollok, Theodore Gier
DR.. A. G. Giannini, A. w. Scott Jr
James Woods, Byron Mauzy, A B.
Smith. w. ID. Fennimore, E. NJ. Webster
and Benjamin S Brown.
Corporations formed for the especial
purpose of buying land, developing it,
erecting the buildings and operating
the property as an investment is the
most practical plan of cooperation
in large real estate transactions.
These companies, by selling their
stock and securities in small denomi-
nations and on installments, make it
possible for people of moderate means
to participate in this class of invest
ments, giving them the same oppor-
tunities that usually fall to the capi-
talist. Every financial institution that
fun ffnf Lot
what has been accumulated renders q
public service.

This is considered by the people of Yolo

EXTENSIVE PLANS
FOR IMPROVEMENT
RinoOn Hill, North Beach Tun-
mel, Leveling Sansome, Roads
Through the Cemeteries

-Four propositions are now under con-
sideration that are calculated to change
the topography Of san Francisco. An
agreement has been reached which
seemingly removes the last obstacle in
the way Of regarding Rincon hill.
The Jordan Park Improvement as
sociation is about to ask the super
visors 10 condemn strips of land through
the cemeteries in the city so that streets
may be opened.
At the north end of the city there
are two propositions that attract in
terest. One is the running of a tunnel
from Sutter street under the hills, over
10 North beach. The other is the cut
ting down Of the grade in Sansome
street so that it may be a practically
level thoroughfare its entire course.
RINCoN HILL GRADE
The first of these proposition, relat-
ing TO Rincon hill, is more prominent
than the others at this time, simply
because il probably win be realized
within very short time. Back of this
is the Herba Buena company, which
has made an application through the
streets committee of the board of su-
pervisors for a permit to construct the
spur AIdNk 10 connect Win InaI OF the
United Railroads in Kentucky street.
Rieven property owners. whose dam
ages aggregate little more than S63,-
boo. have reported to the supervisors
that a satisfactory arrangement has
been made between them and the Yerba
Buena company for the Rincon hill
grading. Prior TO the issuance of a
permit for the spur track an appro-
priation of $4,000 viii be added to re-
grade the city's part of Hawthorne
street on RincOn hill.
STREETS THROUGH CEMETERIES
The project to grade through the
cemeteries is calculated TO add a large
sum TO the assessment roll Of San Fran
cisco. amounting to many thousands of
dollars This action is made possible
through the recent action of the su-
preme court of the United States in
sustaining the validity of the city ordi-
nance fOrbidding the interment of any
more bodies within the confines of the
city and county of San Francisco. This
proposition has been discussed at vari-
Gus times within the last few years,
but no work was authorized because
cation. There are IS city blocks con-
tanned in Laurel Hill, Masonic, Odd Eel
lows and Calvary cemeteries.
Concerning the tunneling to get TO
North beach by an easy grade and the
cutting down OF Sansome street to
facilitate teaming il may be said that
strong pressure will be brought to bear
in advocacy Of both enterprises.
