The University Mound company is
experiencing wonderful success in its
sale of property, tho streetwork Is be-

new homes are about to be erected.
The district rapidly is approaching the
point where cit will be recognized as
one OF San Francisco's most beautiful
residence sections.
The Brown Estate company, owners
OF University Mound, area sparing no
efforts In identifying the tract; the im-
provements they have put on the prop
erty, together with the natural ad-
yantages OF location and beautiful
view, will send this property to the
front with rapid strides.
Silver avenue, on which University
Mound fronts. Is now being bituminized
and will become one OF the city's best
business streets, outside of the business
center. Fine car service is Afforded

The coming Of approximately two and

F FUN|CULAR FOR
FAIRFAX MANOR

Marin countys first funicular railway,
at Fairfax Manor, will be in operation
in few days. 1t is 1900 feet in length,
thereby surprising its prototype, the AM
gels Flight at Los Angeles. The road
rises from the center of the tract to the
passed beauty and verdure and dis
closes a panorama, of hill and valley
such as only Marin county can offer.
Operated by electrically controlled
cables having strength sufficient for
10 times the load, and a seating ca
pacity of 25 to 80 passengers, the cars
will make trips frequently enough to
the plateau above TO be in ready access
to the railroad station and the business
section of Fairfax Manor.
There has been already spent more
than $4,000 on this and other improve
ments. and more will be spent in bring
ing to the residents of this tract every
possible convenience and Improvement
The Fairfax Development company is
now planning townsite in close prox-
unity to the residence tract, with depot,

ice. postoffice. etc. Most appropriately.
this station will be named Manor, and
will be an ideal residence and business
district, closely guarded by wise re-
strictions. Neither liquor nor ragtime
resorts will be tolerated.
There is in contemplation bank, a
resort hotel catering to people of re-
fined taste and other desirable adjuncts
for an ideal community. An art pottery
works Is already assured.
In addition to their other tracts, Gray
& Holt, who are putting Fairfax Manor
on the market, are planning 40 acre
villa tract for the summer market. This
is within five minutes walk of the new
business section and is being rushed to
completion as regards improvements.
ETC., with the same energy and thor
oughness which has characterized all Of
their work at Fairfax Manor. Many
reservations have already been made,
for the whole place Is essentially suited
for home builders, where children can
enjoy and thrive on outdoor life, while
the business man is in easy and con-
venient reach of the city.
The accessibility which the Funicufar
railway will afford has enabled Gray &
Holt to also put on the market 120 acres
along the hilisides adjacent to the rail-
way and on the plateau at its end. The
lots are in any size. from so feet up, to
suit the buyers wishes.
More than 40 houses already have
been built, and many more are con-
