CIRCULAR 1-B.THE SAN FRANCISCO RELIEF AND RED CROSS FUNDS (a corporation) is prepared to receive applications for assistance from its Land and Building Department under any of the three plans following:(1) BONUS: To any lot owner in the burned district a bonus of one-third the cost of a new house, bonus not to exceed $500, will be given to aid him in erecting a home. This bonus will be paid to the contractor as his last payment, and after the building is finished. If lot owner chooses to erect his home with his own hands, the value of the house will be estimated when it is finished and one-third its value will be given to the lot owner. The sum of $500,000 has been set aside for this purpose. This offer to remain open until October 1, 1906, unless fund is exhausted before that date. No more than one bonus to be paid to one person.(2) PURCHASE (Cash or Installment): Cottages, two-story dwellings and flats will be built by the corporation and sold for cash or on the installment plan, and no interest will be charged on deferred payments. A small cash payment down and a percentage of total cost to be paid monthly. To illustrate: A home-seeker wishing to buy a $300 lot with a $600 house on it (containing four rooms and bath) can purchase it from the corporation at cost as follows: Monthly payments of $15 to be made for sixty months; 5 per cent of the total cost ($45) to be paid down, when a receipt will be given for the payments covering the first three months; then a payment of $15 a month to be made for the remaining fifty-seven months. Taxes will be paid by the corporation and charged to the purchaser. When the $900 and taxes have been fully paid, a deed will be given. The contract of purchase will be non-assignable. A sum not exceeding $2,500,000 will be set aside for this purpose. Any head of family who resided in San Francisco before April 18, 1906, and now engaged in some business or employment is eligible to apply, preference being given to those now living in tents.(3) LOANS: Not exceeding $500,000 will be used in making loans to those—whether owners or tenants—whose places of residence in San Francisco were burned in the fire, such loans to be used in building new dwellings anywhere in San Francisco on a lot owned by the person to whom such loan is made, such loan to equal one-third of the cost of the building, not, however, to exceed in any case $1,000, and no more than one loan is to be made to any one person or family. Security for such loan is to be taken by way of first or second mortgage upon the building and lot if necessary, the borrower to pay 3 per cent net interest. This offer to remain open until the first day of October, 1906, unless this appropriation of $500,000 is sooner exhausted.Applicants are required to use the blank provided for the particular kind of assistance desired in each case.No applications will be received except by mail.Applications will be investigated and acted upon as rapidly as possible, and in the order of their receipt.Thomas Magee,Chairman Land and Building Department,UNION SQUARE, San Francisco.
