;aland comnrises thirteen thousand acres, and
K ;s estimated that one thousand acres Will \
eventually be added to it by extending INTO q
the rivers and filing up of marshes; Inc I
first thousand acres is comprised IN the me
below Grand street, from river to rIver-irOm
Grand street to twenty first street there are
two thousand acres. In these two thousand
acres, it is supposed there are yet vacant i"!S
sufficient to accommodate not only the who'e
present population of the Island, but enough
more to make up the number Of 600 OOO-or
the number Of 100000 inhabitants to one
thousand acres, allowing about the same den
si,v of population that now exists below ga
nal street. 1t may he seen from this that the
whole Island is capable Of accommodating |
nearly n million and half Of inhabitants
and If our population continues to increase IN
tho same ratio it has done for the last thirty or
fortv wears, the Island will be filed to ITS
whole extent, in period OF less than ha'i
century.-N. Y. paper.
