Strong Letter Urged Over San Francisco Land Sale
After six months of stalemate the San Francisco Spreckels interests are pressed to sell city land. The council orders the mayor to address a strong letter requesting sale terms for the golf course First Street site and hog ranch, noting condemnation is possible but preferring a negotiated deal. A bond issue may fund the purchase, with costs to be set before the election. The delay ties to Hotel del Coronado sale, still unsettled.
