Reinforced Concrete Walls of the Basement, of the Big New Building of W. P. Fuller Co. and Steel Framework of Lincoln Grammar School. Since the earthquake of April 18, 190S, the plans of Lincoln Grammar school, on the block fronting on Alice street, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, have been- completely remodeled.

The structure Is now In course of erection on the new plans. When the earthquake occurred, the walls of the first story were partly up, ancthe mortar being green they were badly wrecked. The plans on which the structure was then being built contemplated the erection of a fireproof building only. It was not supposed from previous experience when the plans were adopted that any earthquake was likely to visit this' city strong enough to wreck any ordinarily well constructed building; hence no provision was made In them to draft them on earthquake proof lines. Fire was the only foe which then excited any fear, and everything was done to reduce that danger to the minimum.

The new plans have been designed to make the building both earthquake and fireproof. walls will be carried and the floors sustained within a steel frame, the up rights of which are now being erected as will be seen In the accompanying half-tone reproduction of a photograph taken during the week. THE W. P. FULLER CO.

BUILDING- -One of the photographs herewith re produced shows the strong reinforced concrete walls enclosing the basement of the new three-story building which Is being erected by W. P. Fuller Co. on the southwest corner of Tenth and Alice streets, diagonally across the street from the Lincoln School building. These concrete walls are unusually thick and strongly buttressed as they will have carry not only the thick and heavy brick walls, but the enormous weight of the three floor loads, when the structure Is stocked.

The prices of construction materials have approached more closely of late their normal condition than, they have at any time during the past six months, and those whose plans for erecting new buildings had been temporarily suspended owing to the excessive prices which had been artificially established, are now ready to proceed to carry them out. Their energies are being directed chiefly to supplying new dwellings, for which there Is a steadily increasing demand.

It is one of the most remarkable developments in the history of any community in the country. I doubt very much whether Oakland property-owners are owing the San Francisco banks, for example, more than $2,000,000, if that much. And until the last ten days there has been only one large loan contracted by any Oakland firm outside of this city. The fact that we are financing ourselves is a magnificent card for the community and bespeaks a condition of unparalleled prosperity.
