THE FUTURE METROPOLIS.

C,.y-The Plan OF the Western Tract-Its
r4oroughinres, Longitudinal and Trans
verse-NIore Central PaSk Gates TO be
Needed-The New Parks and Avenues-Pro-
posed Widening of Madison Avenue.
The city Of New York has had really only two
periods OF history--viz., that in which it ranked
simply as an ordinary seaport city, which was
closed with 1870, and that of great commercial
sentre, which it entered upon with the con-
struction OF the Erie canal and the completion,
link by link, Of the leading railroads, which
have put it in communication with the produc-
tive industry of the whole country. In 1856
had population Of 10 ,3sl; in l773, of 21,7S6;
n 1855, Of 1854 in 1890, of 33,l3l in $500, of
q, ,4S9; in 1910, of 96,373. In the year 1900, at
the opening Of the century, Philadelphia was OF
greater population than New York and put forth
claims as the commercial centre of the United
6xates, though founded sxty-eight years after the
founding of New York and at the beginning OF
the century also Boston disputed with New York
for the palm of commercial Importance. In 1910
fhh city had just passed Philadelphia in point
OF population, and exceeded it by eighty
~ persons only, while in 1900 the latter
exceeded the former in this respect by nearly ten
thousand. At this period the four leading cities
q the United States we're Philadelphia, New York,
Baltimore and Boston, in the order mentioned,
while in 1910 New York stood in the van, Philadel
pima, Baltimore and Boston following in their
esder. The following table exhibits the relative
populations Of these several cities at the begin.
ming and end Of the first decade Of this century,

Half century has made wonderful difference;
while New York is now the metropolis Of the con-
6nent Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston have
lwinded comparatively to the rank Of provincial
Fities and msrts Of local trade, for which New
York forms the great wholesale market. Since
$50 the increase Of population in New York has
been equal to twenty-eight per cent every five
ksars and has somewhat more than doubled its
original once in every twenty years. The subjoned
talculation exhibits the figures and percentages Of
E,s semi ecadal increase;--

Average rate Of increase every I'VE years.
In 1864 the City Inspector estimated the popu-
ation OF the city at l,Oso ,0O0-an estimate which
in keeping with the general law of metropolitan
nerease and Of this population one-half was es.
smated to be above Fourteenth street. though no
ccurate figures were then in existence as to the
folative disposition Of population, and recourse
was had to the figures of 1860, when the number
lbove that line amounted to ,462. In 1S4O so
title was the city built up that there was only
n aggregate Of 33,sll above Fourte enth
treet to s,s99 below; in 1s45, above
10 population was 54,72s; below, SIG, ,495 /;

hir estimate placed $4,000 abeve Fourteenth
treet to about the same number below it; and
$40 will probably open with three.quarters Of a
hnlion Of inhabitants above the line of Union
suare. Should the rate Of increase which has
revailed since 1920 continue, therefore, the year

than Manhattan street and the street cutting
through the hills from Tubby Hook to the Harlem
river cannot be indicated at present with any
probability Of guess, from lack OF data upon which
to base calculations. An accurate survey OF the
surrounding suburban cities would furnish the
means for a calculation Of this sort but these
surveys have never been made with a view to the
solution of this problem. which is. after all, of
more Importance to the speculator than the public
at large.
THE FUTURE METROPOLIS
Thus far New York has been considered as an
isolated city-a central city in the midst of several
continuous ones. This, however, is no just man.
ner of consideration; and properly to estimate the
metropolis it must be counted as inclusive of it's
suburban sisters, Brooklyn, Williamsburg and
Jersey City, as well as Hoboken, weehawken and
the opposite shores generally-transt to which
will ultimately be carried over on colossal
bridges making New York proper simply the
metropolitan heart Of a great metropolis, which
will be larger ultimately than London and Paris
taken together. The river will form then simply
q silent highway Of commerce, winding and
doubling through the midst Of the grandest
metropolis that the world ever produced
the metropolis, perhaps, Of the world itself; I;
for, from . certain felicity Of geographical
situation and topography, there can be
no doubt but that Manhattan Island and the
country contiguous, making an elliptic of thirty
miles in length by fifteen in breadth, is suscept-
BILE of being developed into the actual mart, not
of America only, but Of the civilized world. Both
the South American and Asiatic trade must ulti-
mately centre here, and ere long-say within a
century-London and Paris will come to the New
York market and will find in the New York mar.
ket the great trade centre. These specula-
tions are, however, among the things about to
be realized, and need not be discussed to
the exclusion of present matters Of interest A
table Of the development of the whole considered
as one metropolis may be appended as data for
comparison, and with this may be concluded the
speculation. The following table exhibits the sta
tstics Of the population Of the several Cities polit
cay speaking, which really constitute the city Of
New York so far as natural boundaries are con-
cerned:-

The population Of the whole was in 1865 esti-
mated at 100000. which is in accord with the
previous average Of increase for every FIVE years
viz, thirty-fve per cent or seventy per cent for
every ten years. Assuming seventy per cent Of
increase for every ten years, the year 1900 would
open with 9,272,004 as the population Of the fu.
ture metropolis; and for every decade from 1860
forward the figures will stand as follows =

From thence it falls with gradual slope to the
level of the Harlem plains. At l06th the ridge
turns westerly and passes under Ninth avenue,
which rides thereupon to 120th street. Then
comes second westerly bend, at the ridge forming
the southern side of the Manhattan valley to the
Hudson. The grade Of Eighth avenue, as now
regulated, will rise by filing in depressions to the
summit Of this ridge at Ninety-second street, and
thence fall regularly to the Harlem plains. A

From the New York Hebrew Messenger March 81
The following telegram appeared In the daily papers
on Wednesday last
The New York herald., 1868-03-01

In grades, but by no means applicable to the to-
Biography Of the ground to be treated. From the
entire application Of this plan to the upper west
side the Bloomingdale road is all that has saved
the city; and from the utter absurdity of
the numerical nomenclature the Park
Commission have made an effort to re-
deem portions of the upper tract. Thus
far sites of command for public buildings
have been comparatively few. The City Hall
Park presents one; Astor place, at its intersection
Of the avenues, another; Union square third;
Madison square a fourth, though less commanding;
and in the vicinity of the Park several further
commanding situations are offered. The inter-
sections of Broadway with the several avenues
affords few more locations OF lesser importance,
but all together are quite insufficient for the wants
of great city. These points are hereafter to
become centres of value-a fact which real estate
speculators are already beginning to COM
prehend and to make significant use of.
The area of the west side tract is ex-
ceedingly diversified and undulating, being
divided by the Nanhattanvlle valley into two main
shoulders of highland The surface of this valley
is nearly at the water level, and entering at the
Ninth avenue it divides the hills with bottom of
five squares. from 1884 to l2Sth street. running at
that width to the Hudson river and thence extend
ing from 10th to 133d street. North of this
high bluff rises from the Hudson river, and round
ing over falls into level near Ninth avenue. This
hill is from one hundred to one hundred and thirty
feet in height. Below the valley above mentioned
the ground has the general description Of high
tableland, Of which Eighth avenue occupies
the ridge with average elevation of thirty feet
above that of Fifth avenue. The elevation Of

Mn. W. @. BAxKs-Dear SIR. The new i'm
proved Patent Pres you recently put up for Us
has given entire satisfaction. We think u the
only pres We have ever seen Of the screw kind
put up on The proper principle. II has every
convenience that We could wish for, and as
speedy ~ any other we have ever known; be-
sides. Il works easier than any We have ever
secn In use. Two men can make a bale Of ave
D. sir hundred pounds on Il without much er-
ertion, and one mule will make a six hundred
pound bale with case. We are Of the impress
sion that the screw will last q lifetime, und
pack all the cotton that will be required. We
have used Eve different kinds, and End this the
hest Of any We have ever tried, and take pleas-
ure In recommending u TO the public, feeling
fully satisfied ths, any one who tries Il will be
pleased. Youn truly,
