Building. Inspector Eugene Mulllott said today! "Building in Alameda is very favorable and way above last month. An the outlying dis tricts of the city are building up with great activity.

Many strangers are.

buying property in these tracts and are putting up attractive homes to live in and not for mere speculation, and the. Outskirts of Alameda -are becoming thickly populated.

When the jury in the Adams' condemnation suit filed into court at a late hour the other evening and Tendered a verdict that enables the city to gain possession of the only remaining section, of the marsh land lying between the Twelfth-street dam and the Eighth-street bridge, to which it had not already acquired title, it spelled the end of those unsightly billboards that reared themselves along the south side of Twelfth street, between Fallon, street and First avenue. Many have, wondered why the city authorities allowed those monuments of commercial rapacity to stand so long on city property as evidence of seeming lack of modern civic pride, but the truth of the matter Is that, bad as the signs were, he administration considered, they served a somewhat useful purpose in shutting on from the people passing by some of the unslghtllness of the marsh land to the south, with its accumulation TO BE ERECTED Walter Sueell is to erect a new busl- nes block on the south side of Seventh street, near Webster, at a cost of A perspective of the proposed Structure is shown herewith today.
