LINE The new Melrose to San Leandro extension the, Southern Pacific com- i PUjiy is being pushed forward in the astern part of The city at the rate of hundred feet a day.

and! already the district which it beginning at Kast Fourteenth iind Forty-seventh avenue and running northeast, is feeling the quicken-'j ing pulse of real estate activity. The tracks, electric wires and poles have been laid along Bond street right up io Havenscourt station in the enter i of tbe now property of Havens. Thf new electric line parallels the Foothill boulevard at a distance Of one until it reached Havenscourt nation. when it turns and runs through the well settled pari of the toward Pan Leandro, while 'he keens well up in the hills. Fifty room apartment house to be built by C.

A. Johnson in the Lakeside district of Oakland. Probably no property in this section served by the new electric lino has felt the effect of improved service more than Havenscourt. SBTfV ENTKR This property, just being improved hy "Wickham Havens, incorporated, consists of about 1.280 homesites. am! becaused of the rapid rise tn values pected on the completion of the new.

line of the Southern Pacific company, nearly 7.00 lots in the tract have been sold. There is keen competition to get hold of business lots In the new business center around Havenscourt station. There are no business structures within many blocks of this point, and shrewd business men are convinced that a lively center will grow up around this station to supply the wide area of residence property. The hundreds of men employed in the construction of the Southern Pa. Itic and the hundreds more working on the many miles of streets in 11avensVourt make this spot a spectacle of activity.

Progress in Berkeley BERKELEY. Aug. 1 8. Increasing activity in building, stimulated sales markets, and fever houses available to rent than ever before, are conditions of the local realty affairs as described by leading dealers of Berkeley. In no section is the developing business confined, tlie experts say.

but it extends to every district. including those where new tracts have heen added to the area of the city, and those where new electric lines have made older settled tracts more accessible.

one at Monterey and Colusa avenues, the other at Solano and avenues. The station houses designed by John Galen Howard, the University of "alifornia architect, and for structural beauty surpass all others around the bay. In one will be a fountain, situated In a pergola, which connects the two wings of the station. As art features these buildings will harmonize with the decorative attractions provided by the company, such as fountains, ornamental pillars and so on. A new fountain Is being put In the tract.

IMPROVKO TRANSPORTATION "The establishment of these stations. I giving transportation to a rather re- mote district heretofore," said Elmer I I Rowell, sales manager of Mason- I McDuffle company, "has stimulated sales greatly. The desiraWe lots near to the stations and along the Alameda are being snapped "The realty market in Berkeley Is especially good at this saidL R. A. Berry of 11.

A. Berry A- the reason that there is as much build, ing as at any time in the past. This is not noticed particularly because it is not confined to any part, but is in all sections of the city. The new railroad lines in Ninth and California streets have opened large territories for homesitcs. of moderately priced property, on which homes are being built and occupied, not held for speculation.

There are fewer houses to rent in Berkeley than at any time in the past.
