WOODACRE MEETS
POPULAR FAVOR
Many Reservations Made by
Visitors to New Tract in
Marin County

Every indication contributes evil
dence that Woodacre, the new Marin
county subdivision. will meet popular
favor with the buying public. Al
ready reservations have been made by
several purchasers who have visited
the tract with the idea of getting a
definite understanding of the situa-
tion. The general appearance of the
San Geronimo valley with it's forest and
streams gives Woodacre a tone of ele-
gance and refinement which is not
found in other San Francisco subur-
ban districts.
"A feature which seems to appeal to
those who have visited the property
improvements which are being in
stalled by the owners. the Lagunitas
Development company. The vast area
of their holdings is such as to warrant
development along high class lines re-
gardless of expense. In. cutting the
streets through the pine and redwood
groves many sdetours are made the
century old sentinels towering cou-
pie of hundred feet in the air may be
spared to live out their natural exis-
tence. In many cases where the
scheme of subdivision works out to
the best advantage double frontage
sites are plated. The advantage Of a
double frontage home site is of great

SAN FRANCISCO TO HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL MAUSOLEUM
Magnificent 'Burying Place to Replace Crema-
tories and Graveyards; $175 900 Structure
to Be Built of California Materials

One OF the principal building opera
tions recently entered upon in San
Francisco is a turning of the tables on
the builders phrase-build for future
generations. In this instance 1T is
future home for the present genera
tion that is being built-a mausoleum
that will give to San Francisco the
credit of having one of the most sub
stantial costly and beautiful mauso-
leums in the west.
Yesterday construction began on the
Woodlawn Abbey mausoleum which IS
to stand in Woodlawn as the most mod
ern of substitutes for the cemeteries
which are now coming into prominence
a. things unwisely done by the past
generations because of the effect those
within the city limits are having upon
realty values in their respective neigh
borhoods.
woodlawn Abbey. being built by the
Modern Mausoleum company of San
Francisco, is to be a s175,000 structure
made almost entirely of California ma
teria1s. IT will be known as the West
minister abbey of California. and will
fulfill quite the same purpose as the
magnificent tomb in London.
The movement for the erection of a
mausoleum here was inspired by the
fast growing sentiment antagonistic to
the graveyard Virtually all the pro-
eressiye cities of the east have adopted
the mausoleum idea, and the fruits of
their experiences are to be gathered
into one idea in the abbey to be erected
here.
The structure is of special design and
presents a most artistic appearance.
The foundati ton and superstructure is
one monolithic mass of reinforced con-
crete The outer walls are faced with

a hard stone finish. There is not a
square inch of wood in the entire build
ing. Built low. it possesses that rugged
architecture which will withstand the
centuries, as well as that first mauso-
leum, the tomb of King Mausolus
erected many centuries before Christ.
The entrances to the building are or
solid bronze The interior is finished IN
highly polished marble, blended In deli
cate shadings which lend an air OF
gentle dignity as a fit resting place for
the dead. Extending out from each
crypt is a marble ledge for the recep-
ton of floral tributes. The floor is OF
marble terrazo. In the center or ro-
tunda of the building is beautiful
chapel. with a quaint marble pulpit.
so that funeral services may be held
at the mausoleum. Here the services
may be conducted amid most appropri-
ate surroundings, as well. and if de-
in the home.
There are a number of private sec
tions in the building. and for families
who desire privacy rooms have been
provided which furnish all of the ad-
vantages OF a private mausoleum at
much less expense.
The crypts will cost from 1855 each
to s355. which is less than the cost of
the average funeral when cemetery up
keep is included. The mausoleum will
be supported by a perpetual endowment
fund The crypts furnish rooms for
1000 bodies.
The officers of the company are:
G. w. Surface, president; A l.. Hans
come, vice president and secretary. b.
c. Hammond and Fl. J. Harrison, with
the officers, are the directors. G. S.
Cunning is chief engineer and F. L.

REPORT ON WATER
DISTRICT IS READY
Richmond Rapidly Nearing
Public Ownership Of Com
prehensive System

RICHMOND. July 1S.-Former City
Engineer W. s. Farley will soon have
the detailed report and estimates for
the Richmond water district ready
Following the issuance of this official
report everything will be ready for
the bond election. Richmond has gone
ahead without delay en- it's proposition
to bring about public ownership of it's
water system and is further advanced
than is any other community in the
formation of a water district. The le-
gal soundness of the procedure under
winch these districts must be formed
has not yet been passed upon finally
by the courts, but the best legal ad-
vice to the Richmond commit issioners is
that the law Is valid
1t Is the belief of Engineer Farley
at the present time that the new dis
trict will be able to furnish plenty Of
good water at about half the present
est and sinking fund Cost of con-
struction of reservoirs will not be
great as compared with similar works
elsewhere and the watershed is close
to the city.
The fact that all the proceedings for
the widening Of Twenty-third street
into an so foot thoroughfare its en-
tire length are proceeding without a
hitch or quibbling is an indication of
the spirit OF development that is rife
in Richmond. Many front yards have
to be sawed off and business lots cur
tailed. but the owners are accepting
the damages fixed without question,
knowing that the improvement will
add greatly to realty values and will
most likely result in making Twenty
third street the great permanent cross
town business street of the city.

NEW DEATH REPORT RULES
Health Board Also Forbids Earth
Rnrials Below l20th Street.

The Board OF Health has adopted new
rules for the reporting OF deaths. Physi-
clans who mention tetanus or meningitis
as the sole cause of death will have their
death certificates returned for additional
information before the department VIII
accept them. These are only two of SIX
teen possible cases of fatality that are
subject to the new ruling. I'm explana-
ton the department saws:
ANY OF these may be the result OF an
injury. and thus be subject for investiga-
ton by coroner If 1t is not. the GER
tihcate should make that fact plain.
No death certificate will be accepted
which gives mere symptom as the
sole cause of death. as, for instance.
"asphyxia, debility. dropsy, heart failure
etc" unless accompanied by satisfac-
tory written explanation.
Another regulation adopted by the board
Is to the effect that there shall be no
earth burial below both street.
