wonderful future makes inevitable.
RAPID DEVELOPMENT

RAPID DEtELOPMENT
The wonderful growth and develop
ment of Richmond finds its best evil
dence in statistics. Where Los An
geles gained 309 per cent in populs-
ton since 1910, Richmond has gained
10000 per cent. Where property
values have increased 800 per cent
in Los Angeles, Richmond's property
values since 1900 have shown an in
crease of 6.32S per cent. Conserva-
tive business men now predict that
Richmond is destined to be a great
city, one of the greatest cities on the
Pacific coast, inside of 20 years, and
all past and present indications point
to such a prophecy as being well
within the bounds of reason, and even
conservative. The basis of this be-
lief is the fact that great harbors
make great cities. and Richmond has
II miles of available water frontage
This, coupled with the fact that two
transcontinental railroads meet the
ocean vessels here, and the further
fact that Richmond already has a
wonderful start as a manufacturing
center. warrants the belief that phe-

RICHMOND OFFERS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES

| has found the docking facilities of San
Francisco entirely inadequate and
while improvements and extensive de-
Ivelopments are contemplated the great
increase in shipping must have
larger field for distribution than San
Francisco can provide and it is here
that the real Importance of Richmond
as seaport becomes apparent. Today
ships that enter San Francisco bay
must wait from II to 4S hours before
they can tie up and unload their car
goes.
In Richmond a freighter can enter
one of the numerous slips and dis
charge her cargo without a half
hours wait The Importance and eco
nomic advantage of this to shippers
is evidenced in the wonderful growth
of Richmond shipping. When the
Panama canal is completed and the
great increase in importing and ex-
porting begins to make itself felt
Richmond will offer more than IL
miles of harbor frontage to draw on
this, but the city will be fully pre-
pared, for already there has been ap-
propriated for the further Develop
ment of Richmond harbor s1.760.000
through municipal bonds and $1,000
900 which the government intends to
expend in making the facilities for
handling this increased commerce
much better So much for Rich
mond's harbor improvements.
TAKE EASIEST PATH
AS is the case in every new city,
business districts follow the lines OF
least resistance. In Richmond the
income of large factories and the In
fux of population necessitated other
enterprises. namely, retail and office

can not take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of a prediction.

Of any one show them something out

you can build a better mouse trap
than your neighbor, etc." still holds
good, and If you can show a great
number of people how to better their

their way for the opportunity of hear
ing your plan. In the foregoing is
contained the underlying reason for
the wonderful growth and expansion
of the fastest growing city in the
United States, Richmond. 1t was only
a few years ago that what Is now the
city of Richmond was an immense
tract of grazing land with few

place in a few short years!
Today the grazing lands have been
transformed into metropolis; the
farms of a few years ago have been
subdivided and resold a dozen times
as lots. Where the old windmill
stood there is now erected a modern
fireproof office building, and the old
cowpaths have been changed into
modern thoroughfares that reflect the
hustle and life of busy cosmopoli-
tan city. Such, in brief, is the mar
velous change that has been worked
in little more than 10 years in Rich
mond, and the facts and figures be-
hind this wonderful growth and ex-
pansion are SO logical and yet un-
usual that the story is well worth
telling.

they were satisfied. They dreamed
no further than the few little con-

home life more comfortable and ia

NEW WATER DISTRICT
One of the greatest projects that
Richmond now has in hand is the
creation of a new publicly owned
water district and distributing sys-
tenn. which is to embrace all of the
water front towns of Contra Costa
county, to bring down from a point
near Antioch the water OF the San
Joaquin river affording an unlimited
supply of good, water for the people
of Richmond and the other towns
involved for many years in the future.
Such a district has been already
created by vote of the people, and
adjacent towns have signified their
Willingness to go into the big project.
So it is only matter of a short time
before this advantageous project will

So it was only logical that Richmond
should become first a great railway

HERDS HAVE GONE
| So, where once was heard the low

heralded the onrush of commercialism.
The Richmond of old was no more.
and in its place stood an industrial
city of first magnitude.

largest oil refinery in the world. Hun
