EAST SAN MATEO
LAND PRICES Low
Investors Put Money Into Prop
critics, Expecting Annexa=
ton to San Francisco

The appreciation of peninsula subur-
ban properties has been decidedly
marked at this early stage of the 1910
real estate campaign. There always
has been a strong desire to buy subur-
ban property in the territory imme-
diately adjacent to San Francisco on
account of the salubrity of climate and
the excellent transportation facilities
afforded by both trolley and steam rail-
roads. Investors have been putting
their money into these properties. feel
ing that they were practically buying
San Francisco property. With the an
nexation of the northern end of San
Mateo county to San Francisco which
is being so popularity urged, that part
of San Mateo county included in the an
nexation would receive an impetus that
conservative real estate men predict
would more than double present values.
With the annexation project near at
hand, far seeing investors are now
taken up with the suburban properties
down the peninsula" said W. H. Obear,
president of the East San Mateo land
company. we do not look for such a
lively and early interest as has been
manifested this year We felt all
along that San Mateo county would
soon become a part Of San Francisco
and that property in our holdings at
present prices would have at once an
increased value. The real value has.
in fact. increased; persons who last
year were studying the situation
are now taking up the property
Besides nearly 100000 of street and
sidewalk improvement that we have in
stalled we have spent more than $780,
600 the last year in dredging the channel
reaching from the bay into our proper
ty, making II now navigable by
river steamers. We are taking our
first free public excursion by steamer
down the bay tomorrow. It is an event
that is attracting unusual attention.
To sum it all up, we had the confidence
two years ago that now possesses the
people-the confidence that every foot
of land now offered for sale down the
peninsula is selling for about half its
real worth"
