oils of New York is being rapidly
fulfilled, which has for its centre,
rather than Central Park, the great
bay of New York. The growth
South of the City Hall is far great
er than the growth North of it, il
people only apprehended its true
significance. For instance, Brook
lyn now includes an area that al
most reaches from the East River
to the ocean, and the fact that q
great Elevated Road is now being
constructed along the Bay to Fort
Hamilton at the Narrows, shows
that, while rapid transit in New
York, toward the North, hesitates
and dallies, toward the more at
tractive regions of the South it is
already provided. The whole East
Shore, therefore, of the harbor is
filling fast, else elevated roads, at
the cost of a million dollars a mile,
would not be provided. The
North Shore of the Bay is,
of course, occupied by the city it
self, but along the Northwest shore
Jersey City extends into Bayonne
City, and the narrow peninsula
back of Communipaw to Bergen
Point is now so densely occupied
that electrical roads are needed to
supplement the existing splendid
service. Thus density surrounds
the three sides Of the great Bay,
and there only y remains one shore
in which there is ample room for
occupancy, and that is the long
stretch of the harbor formed by
Staten Island. Here an area rem
dered accessible, frequently, quick
ly, and cheaply, by Mr.. Wiman's
efforts, consists of fifty-eight square
miles of most delightfully."- diversi-
fed surfaces, with attitudes of 800
to 45O feet, and with declivities and
visions of beauty afforded in no
other suburb in the world. Here,
too, is a deep water front of ten
miles within the harbor, rendered
available by the same efforts to
trunk lines, by the construction
of the great Arthur Kill bridge,
which connects the Island with
the mainland, and enabling its
shore to perform the services OF
terminal more perfectly than
elsewhere in the harbor, these
services being simultaneous Re-
ceipt, Storage, and Shipment, not
possible to either Jersey, Brook
lyn, or New York. Facilities for
manufacturing along the shore are
unequalled, with coal direct from
mines, raw material from the sea,
and trunk line connection in the
back yard. These, in addition to
residential possibilities in the in
terror, now reached by frequent
trains, make the chances of success
unsurpassed in any other suburb.
The opportunities of profit by the
enhancement of values from ex-
isting low prices of land, on such
close contiguity of a great city, are
such as exist in no other suburb
on the face of the earth.
The estate of Erastus Wiman
possesses a greater area of land
within a ten-mile radius of the
City Hall than any other interest,
and if in these hard times parties
can become possessed, at existing
values, of portions of these prop
critics. it is an opportunity in
lifetime which rarely offers.
