During the year 1885 a well known merchant OF this
city wrote series OF articles in one Of the periodicals or

based upon the rapid but certain multiplication of nhabit
ants and the limited of Manhattan island upon which
they were to accumulate He argued that all the lots in
the city would be built upon within much more limited
period than property holders then generally supposed
Although 1885 was year noted for the wildaess and
extravaganza Of its specuaons especially in real estate,
yet the figures the writer gave presented results 80 as
founding that even the most sangune doubted their TRUTH
while prudent people, called questioned the accuracy
of the Hgure, and denied the conclusions derived from

ventures but the financial revulson of 1881 affected him.

the current.
But though this prophet was not honored In his day or
generation yet me and the of events have proved
that if he erred all it the side Of moderation and
that what deemed his most exravagant specuaons
fell short Of the truth.
In 1886 and 1887 the business OF the city was
confined to a few streets the rivers, down
town all the hotels of any account below
the Park, and the city beyond Union park was
known as "the village" Broadway occupied mainly
by private dwellings, and the First, Third aud Fifth ward
