GROWTH OF CITIES ~ AREA.

New York Increased From Oh 20 $40 Squlrs
Mnes In the Space Of Ten Years.
The growth Of American cities in area
is going On pretty steadily and Is not always

necessary.
A majority Of the cities Of the country
are larger terTitoriAlly than they were
twenty years ago, nearly one-hah are larger
