If New Yorks metropolitan district Is
to grow as predicted, It will have to take
in section of the state OF Connecticut,
all of Long Island, and an extended strip
would make II possible for q, 100000 people
to live relatively uncongested. Outside OF
the inner business center all would be one
tremendous suburban district. People
would live amid gardens and trees, but to
feed this huge non-producing population
agricultural development, as we have noted.
Years before all this is realized the City
of Mexico will have taken IN the entire
federal district, and there will be here a
population of two to three million people.
This city is to be the railway center of the
new southwest of this continent. and the
whole terra templada is to become a far
more populated region and exceedingly pro-
ductive. Fortunately for this city, there i5
ample room for growth, and for wide ex>
tension of suburban life, within the valley.
Land values are bound TO increase many-
fold in the next twenty-five years. Every
eligible building site within fifteen miles Of
the city will be in demand before 1890
And more and more will the rich men of the
republic and of the United States as WELL
be attracted here, the wealthy Americans
finding the climate agreeable for winter
residence. There will never be so dense a
population within this republic as will be
seen around New York and at the foot Of
Lake Michigan, but there will be an in
crease of population corresponding to what
takes place in the metropolitan ccnters OF
New York and Chicago
