The district in Richmond, north ofCalifornia street "to the Presidio, hasdeveloped into a mo6t desirable resi-lience section
—so desirable, in fact,
t'*at in the two so called residenceparks the better lots command $200 toJ"JSO a front foot.
Residents of suburban districts recog-nize the fact that architectural' beauty,

Another stride In the remarkablegrowth of the Richmond district northof Lake street is the artistic row ofhomes now building in Eleventh ave-nue, between California and Lakestreets. They were designed by Louislieilman. 'Y r
Home building in the suburban dis-trictstof the city proper and down thepeninsula Is going on steadily.
A handsome residence is being builtIn-West Clay Park by George E. Bill-ings. Ills lot is 73 by 120 feet, inTwenty-fourth avenue. The house con-tains eipht rooms and two baths, withlaundry, servants' quarters and heating
appliances in the basement. A featureof thr 'house is the sleeping porch withpergola above.
As a result, home makers are takingto this typ**- of house with an aviditythat promises to ma_ke the bungalowhome as characteristic of San Fran-cisco's suburbs as it has become ofsouthern California towns.
In the peninsula suburbs many at-tractive homes are building. One ofDir.gee Park's new homes is that be-longing to Carl Beeger. in Broadwaynear Iris street. Cottage and bungalowbuilding has really only just begun inthis part of California. The larger lotswhich are offered In the peninsula sub-urbs are a decided incentive to housesof this kind. Itis a pleasing changefrom the high, stiff, formal city build-ing that has hitherto been characteris-tic of San Francisco. Moreover, an ex-ceedingly comfortable bungalow can bebuilt for about half the price of a cityhouse.
this, a civic pride is aroused in suchcommunities. "Park" districts of thissort have become popular in the Rich-
mond district. These sections are at-
tracting many persons who would
otherwise have gone across the* bay or
to remote suburbs. By retaining thisclass of citizens within her borders SanFrancisco is making material gains.
KICHMOM) HEIGHTS RESIDENCEA new and attractive house has just
been completed in Eleventh avenue forN. B. Herndon. It is between Anzaand Balboa streets. The house is setwell back from the street, allowingKpace for a 15 foot lawn and trees infront. ItIs a two story shingle house,
with ornamental trimmings, and was.designed and built by Joseph .A.Leonard.
Leonard states that 21 new houseshave been built and sold in this dis-trict, Richmond heights, since January.
Four others are now in process of con-struction there. He attributes the pop-ularity of this section to the fact thatit Is a restricted district and the price
of lots has been kept down to a verymoderate level, averaging somethinglike 9100 a front foot.BUXGALOWS ARE POPULAR

The playgrounds commissioners havepledged their hearty support to the as-sociation and to stimulate the move-ment have inaugurated the procedureof holding occasional play festivals inthe squares of the thickly populatedresidential sections, the first series ofsuch festivals to be held In Septemberof the present year.
The association's committee on parksand playgrounds, consisting of FatherD. O. Crowley, Edward H. Mitchell. J.C. Astredo, j H. L. Seager and GeorgeWalcom, has made an Inspection tour ofthe Mission with the commissioners inan effort to select available sites forthe establishment of playgrounds.

This will provide a playground forthe children of the Potrero N'uevo sec-tion, in which the need of a playgroundhas • long been evident, the westernslope of the Potrero hills having beendensely settled since 1906. with no play-ground nearer than the Garfield squareat Twenty-sixth and Harrison streets.Atabout the same time the playgroundscommission will improve the blockbounded by Marlposa, Seventeenth,Carolina and Arkansas streets, knownas Jackson square.
During the • tour of investigation itwas decided to establish a playgroundin the wicinity 6f Twentieth and Ala-bama streets, where there are largenumbers of children without any pub-He playground. The section betweenEleventh, Twentieth and Missionstreets and Potrera avenue, will beprovided for by the Franklin park,which the association has asked thepark commissioners to impTpve, setting
aside a portion of it for a playground,
The need of public playgrounds Inthe Mission was so greatly emphasizedby the thousands "of children who as-sembled in the Mission park on Inde-pendence day that the Mission, promo-tion association has renewed its cam-paign to"provide recreation facilities inthe Mission.-

When the Bellevue opens it will bethe handsomest American plan hotel inthis country. The grand lobby andmain entrance are among the most im-pressive features. The entire groundfloor, 137 feet square, is devoted en-tirely .to the lobby and dining rooms.The soft, subdued sunlight pours intothe lobby from three directions andmakes it an ideal place for the gather-ing of the guests and patrons.
The hotel hafe seven stories and abasement and is fireproof from top tobottom. There are 300 rooms, eachsupplied with bath and every modernfacility to • make guests comfortableand happy. As a matter of fact, everyinvention and modern appliance for theluxury and comfort of the guests hasbeen installed in the Bellevue.
The owners of this property, the Bar-ron estate, willconduct the hotel underthe name of Bellevue hotel company,with W. E. Zander as manager. Thedemand for an American plan hotel ofsuch excellence Is evident from the sat-isfactory amount of business which isInprospect.
"The success of this hotel is abso-lutely assured," said Mr. Zander, themanager, "by the number of permanentguests who have already made reser-vations. You see, the hotel is now

BUILDING CONTRACTS •
RECORDED YESTERDAY
Washington Dodge, -the assessor, hasIssued a statement in regard to the in-
crease and decrease of the assessments
this year in the various parts ol thecity. ll*said:
"Since the fire the task of assessing
real estate in t'>'' s city has been a very
arjijous one. This is owing: to the factThat there his been such a shifting: ofvalues in different portions of the citytltat it has been necessary each year, asfar as it was possible, to appraisevalues.
"In certain portions of the city, suchas Sixth street and other streets southof Market, there have been almost :yearly reductions made; whereas, inthe outlying: sections, as well as newbusiness sections, which have grown upidnce the fire, it has been necessary to
. increase the assessed valuation. Allthis entails a gr«?at amount of revlsion-axy work as Tvell as clerical work.
"In most largre cities in this countryan appraisement of real estate for as-s*>s!=ment purposes is made only onceevery four or five years, and for thispurpose a large number of special ap-praiser&_gire usually allowed <the as-i*essor.
BKASpKS FOH INCREASE"This office has, however, with the
moans at its command, endeavored tokf-ep the assessment of the various dis-tricts of 'tli« city an near uniform aspossible. We are required to meet theinsistent demands of the state board ofequalization that property shall be as-pessed up to 60 per cent of its marketvaluation. Ifans' considerable portionrtf rhe city I* allowed to fall below 1
this figure there is always the liabilitythat the entire property of the city willbe increased by the state authorities.
"Our roll this year shows a materialIncrease in values. This increase invalues is due principally to the in-creased assessment of our largest cor- <
porariors and the increased assess-ment on account of the new build-ings. A larre amount of realty incertain rection* of the city had theassessment thereof increased this year.These increases probably would agrere-eate 58,000,000, but the net gain inreal estate in not large, owing to thefart that Ifelt compelled this year to Iafford relief to the owners of realeeiat*> in those sections of the citywhich are yet practically dead, andreductions amounting: to approximate*iy 36.000,000 have been made on suchreal estate.IMFORMITVATTEMPTKO
"In spite of these reductions we findthat our assessment in Bonu> local-ities is yet over ?0 per cent of thefigure at which a few sales in theselocalities are being consummated.Much of This realty, such as that lyingin certain districts south of Marketrtreet. has no market value strictlyspeaking. It can neither be .sold norcan it be rented If improvements ar«made. It was to afford relief to suchdistrictn that these reductions men-tioned were made.
"While our .'OS6essment roll does notfully equal the amount to which itwas raised last year by the state boardof equalizatlon.^yet Ifeel and believethat the assessment is bigber thanthe conditions in this city at presentwarrant.SEGREGATION OF AMOUSTS
"The roll, as segregated this year.amounts to $687,716,673 for real estate,1145,050,760 for buildings and $81,236,-
212 for personal property. Itmay bestated in way of explanation that $35,-000,000 of property belonging to thequasi public corporations, which wassssessed up to two years ago as per-sonal property, has since then beenassessed as either real estate or im-jjrovements. This $35,000,000 consistsof franchises, which are now assessedas real estate, and street railroad con-struction, eras, electric and water mainsand conduits, which are now assessed«p Improvements."
Sotie notable changes tn the assess-ment rolls are increases in Missionstreet property near Twentieth, and inF.illmor* street. Many Van Ness ave-nue aa»esMnent« have been lowered,j|jp well as much of the district southr>l Market. Property owners have un-til Monday. July 1?, to file protestsacr.«ist xthe .new- appraisements.".- \u25a0 »
