Present Quarters to Be Used
Until New Location Is
Selected

The five years lease on the present
quarters occupied by city officials,
known as the city hall has ex-
PRED The time was up October 1,
and the mayor appointed City Attor-
ney Hall. City Clerk A. C. Faris and
Councilman Garrard to confer with
the owners, the John NicholI COM
pany, in regard to extending the
lease.-From Richmond Terminal,
October, 1913.
Richmond is going to release the
building it has occupied for the last
five years as a city hall, the new
lease being for a period of from two
to five years, or until such time
when the people of Richmond are
ready to build their own building.
Two different sites have been given
by two different real estate firms and
used as an advertising feature. Both
sites have been accepted by the city
council, but it still remains for the
people to decide where the city hall
is to be located.
When the time comes to vote upon
the selection of site and the build
ing of a city hall, no one who is at
all familiar with conditions and To-
cations in Richmond doubts for a
moment that an appropriate Sc
lection will be made somewhere near
or In the business section of Rich
mond at Twenty-third street and Mac
donald avenue, In the center of the
city. where 1t will be convenient and
accessible to every one, and not in
an out of the way section of the city
below the Santa Fe railroad embank-
ment. toward the water front among
the lumber yards and railroad tracks.
AS to the final issue the people OF
Richmond can be depended upon to
put the city hall where they want 1t,
and not to be misled by inflated real
estate advertising and misstatement
of facts, which Is liable to do the
growing city of Richmond more harm
than good.

Farms, the splendid alfalfa and gen
eral produce subdivision that B.
Schapiro & Co., 2O6-s Phelan building,
San Francisco, have put before in
vestors in small home farms. This
tract will sell faster than most any
other farm home subdivision ever
opened in this state. it is said, be-
cause of the great crops of alfalfa
and other profitable produce the land
will grow and the unlimited guam
tity of water.
The buyers of Tracy Garden Farms,
which are being sold in tracts of 10
to 40 acres, get perpetual water
right-in fact. they own the water
with the land The largest variety
of pumps have been put on that the
canals may be brimful all the time,
obviating the necessity OF night ir-
rigating. The farmer who can give
his land all the water it needs during
the daytime and does not have to
stay up all night irrigating because
there is not an adequate flow is al
ways well pleased. This is one of
the many advantages of Tracy Gar
den Farms.
The Louis Titus ranch, of which
Tracy Garden Farms takes up the
larger part, has always been noted
for its fertility, the immense crops
of alfalfa it will grow and the way in
which dairy stock and hogs thrive on
it. Being only two hours from San
Francisco, Tracy Garden Farms have
the advantage of the biggest market.
B. Schapiro & Co. are bringing
many buyers here. Their subdivision
will soon be covered with homes of
thriving farmers. The terms on
which they sell are SO easy that per-
sons wanting a farm, after learning
the quality of the soil here and the
extent of the water supply, generally
buy at once. The cutting up of this
land will be of great benefit to Tracy.
The subdivision itself will be like

THE SOIL
ALI Silt and a Mile Wide

Here is the land for the real farmers, and
some of these farmers are buying as much as
500 acres. They are buying because the land
stands up under every test. Put an auger into
the soil any place on those fertile acres and
you go through thirty-fve feet of silly loan,
formed from sediment and decayed vegetable
matter Four or FIVE inches under the surface
you will find moisture, even in August and

failing source of water, no matter how dry the
season.
