Iveywood extension goes on

ROCK RIDGE PARK
Fred E. Reed, subdivision manage
for the Laymance real estate com
pany, said:
The unprecedented success of
the sale of Rock Ridge park in 80
foot subdivisions is shown by the
fact that every lot of that splen-
did tract that can be seen from
College avenue has been sold, ex-
cepting three. These will undoubt-
edly be closed out before the open
ing of another week. This rapid
sale Of Rock Ridge park has not
satisfied the demand for sites for
high class homes in that locality.
On the contrary, it has but in
creased the calls by those who
want to get locations there. AL
most every sale made has served
to bring about two or three others,
until practically every lot in Rock
Ridge park that has marine view
has been sold.
This condition has necessftated
the opening of Rock Ridge place,
the second of the Rock Ridge prop
critics. The work of preparing this
second subdivision is now under
way. Contracts are being let pro-
viding for the completion of all the
street work in this new property
within six months from date. The
grading throughout is to be done
within 80 days, the cement work is
to be finished in 100 days and the
oiled macadam within six months
from date. The sewer pipe is on the
ground at the present time, and
work will be started Monday morn
ing. Every one of the contractors
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-30

is under a heavy bond to complete
this work within the specified time,
and there will be no delays in
Rock Ridge place.
The street work in this new sub
division is to be the finest in any
residence property west of st.
Louis. Once laid the street will
never be torn up. Houses on either
side of Rock Ridge boulevard will
be back 4S feet from the curb lines,
and the distance from house to
house across the street will be 1876
feet. The lots on either side of the
boulevard Will be cut into 60 foot
frontages and subdivisions into
smaller properties will not be per-
mitted.
A magnificent gateway, designed
from the work of the old Italian
masters, to be built at a cost of
$4,000, will mark the entrance to
Rock. Ridge boulevard as it swings
off 76 feet wide from Broadway.
This entrance willibe within seven
minutes by automobile from Four
teenth street and Broadway.

Berkeley Real Estate

BERKELEY, April 29.-The bargain
day and the special sale" institutions
originating in the resourceful brains of
department store managers have been
adopted by the modern and progressive
real estate dealer in Berkeley.
For this week there has been a "spe-
ciaI SALE" drive" a bargain week
in Berkeley heights realty. And it was
a success.
The method was quite simple, follow
ing closely that of the department
store. Instead of a special line of
silk waists being used as the drawing
card, a special section of the tract was
used; and instead of taking off a cent
and a half from the regular price, 5000
was deducted from the listed price of
, each lot Fifteen of these specials
were sold in a few days-over half of
the 25 offered. They will probably all
be gone next Monday night, when the
sale ends.
Another feature of the special sale
which is-common to the dry goods store
was found to attach to the real estate
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-30

It means much to the buyer or
the prospective one to see the i'm
provements actually being put in
at no expense to him.
You would be surprised to know
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-30

Oakland at moderate prices furnished
with high class street and tract inn
provements and protected by building
restrictions. Lots are to be sold at
an average price of SIG a front foot,
while the improvements are of the
character generally supplied with prop
erty selling at $50 and $50 foot.
All of the street work is being done
under the supervision of the city SUI
perintendent of street. Five foot ce-
ment sidewalks, cutters, curbs, sani-
tary sewers, crosswalks, manholes,
lamp holes, storm sewers, gas, water
and electricity are all provided and in
cluded in the price.
E. b. Bull, manager of the Frank K
Mott company, speaking of the tract
said
Eastlawn is destined to break all
the records in the state from
standpoint of popularity. Never
before have such splendid and
costly improvements been furnished
a I such low prices per front foot.
The tract is right on the car line
with cents fare to Oakland, Ala
media or Berkeley. 1t is within two
blocks of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, and arrangements are now
being made for a station for COM
muters to San Francisco. 1t is
within the city. limits of Oakland,
enjoys fire. police and health pro-
lection and is close to good schools,
stores, etc.
The great feature, aside from the
low prices and the splendid quality
of the improvements, are the build
ing restrictions which we incor-
porate in each deed. Every house
must. cost at least $1,000. There
viii be no saloons, no ShackS or
ugly structures. In fact we have
planned Eastlawn for sort of
bunga low park. similar to those
you see in Los Angeles. In making
our prices so low we leave the
: buyer margin enough to build, and
building as what we wish to en-
courage.
Hundreds of persons are calling
at both the San Francisco and Oak
land Offices for information, and we
expect the sale to be the greatest
that was ever held in this part of
the state.

company said:
