Last year a tract OF about 5000 acres,
or 10000 lots, at Massapequa was bought
by the Queens Land and Title Company.
The property is on the Great South Bay
and has a total area OF six square miles,
1t is adjacent to the Massapequa station.
Much of it is wooded with pine and cedar.
Since last December, when the tract was
put on the market, 1000 lots have been sold
at from SOS to $500 each.
Freeport, on Hampstead Bay, has shown
marked progress. It has about 800 COM
muters. Houses on the Merrick road
and on Ocean avenue cost from 81 800 to
S25, 600.
Tynbrook, just over the city line, is the
seat OF a good deal of building. Five years
ago its population was 1900. 1t is now
about 5000. Some years & a fire swept
through the business Part of the village,
destroying nearly every frame building
in its path. The reconstruction is princi-
rally of brick, and the village conse-
quently presents a more substantial APP
rearance than it did before the fire. 1t has
restricted residence subdivision, known
as Lynbrook Heights, has recently been
opened by the New York Bridge and Sub
nected by trolley with Long Beach.
Rockville Centre, on the Montauk di-
vision Of the Long Island Railroad. is about
twenty-five miles from New York. 1t ia
accessible also by trolley. The village con.
talnS the homes OF many New York and
Brooklyn business men. The population
numbers about 5000. The streets are
lined with fine old trees and are lighted by
electricity. The schools are excellent and
there are churches of several denomina-
tons. The village has free postal delivery
and high grade stores and markets. There
are eighteen trains each way daily and
trolleys every half hour.
An unusual amount of buying and build
ing is noted this year along the south shore,
and rents and property values are advance
ing. The demand for all year cottages
is growing thro Ighout the region and a
tendency to substitute permanent for tran
sient residence is apparent.
The north shore has come into promi-
nence as a fashionable place OF country
residence practically within the last siI
years. The old farms fronting the Sound
and running back into the Wheatley Hills
have for the most part beer bought up by
people Of wealth and turned into great
private estates, The change is especially
marked between Bay Side and Oyster Bay,
but is making progress as far east as Port
jefferson. The region is protected from
popular invasion by the absence Of trolley
lines, and the fashionable colony opposes
all efforts to introduce local transit. The
automobile has been an important factor
IN making the north shore accessible 70

Island. Like many other parts of the At
lantio coast, the south shore has q double
edge, made up of an outer bar, a broad
stretch Of landlocked water, and inside Of
this the true shore of the mainland. This
arrangement OF land and water fosters q
wide variety Of sports, and wherever it is
found summer towns spring up and flourish.
The old South Country road, along which
still the principal driving t~horoughfare
Oh Long Island. 1t extends from Brooklyn
to Montauk Point, passing through the
chain of villages that line the shore. The
old post road and the railroad are generally
from one to two miles back OF the beach
South Bay. The noted hotel resorts, like
Arverne, Edgemere, Far Rockaway and
Long Beach lie this side of the Great South
Bay, while on that body Of water and be-
yond are many exclusive cottage colonies.
The Great South Bay extends for nearly
seventy miles along the shore from Long
Beach to Quogue. 1t is separated from
the ocean by a strip of send averaging about
a quarter of a Gile in width. The sand bar
affords protection In rough weather, and
there Ia no safer water for pleasure craft
than this long, narrow bay.
On its northern shore are a score OF old
towns, originally farming centres or fishing
villages, but now occupied largely by
summer residents from New York. Baby

tinuous chain Of cottages and country
estates. Tn South Country road .is kept
in splendid condition from Amityville to
Amagansett and is much used for motor
ing, driving and riding. The region,
though occupied mainly by summer
colonies, is developing into an all year
suburban residence neighborhood. The
express service promised when the East
River tunnel is completed will put it within
easv reach of Manhattan.
Values along the South Country road
from Babylon west to Amityvllle and north
across Long Island to Huntington have
advanced rapidly since the Long lsland
Railroad began the construction of a local
trolley as q feeder to it's system. When
the line ia completed it will open for occu-
pancy much OF the wild land among the
hills in the interior Of the island.
Amityville which marks the west end
of Suffolk county, is progressing rapidly
az a seat of suburban residence. The
town has a population OF about 5000. There
are about forty new houses under con-
structiop which will be completed this
spring. Lots are selling at about $3.50
each.
At Rosedals the Carrollton Realty Com
pany is developing Ormonde Park, con-
tanning about 1900 lots, and another tract
Of about 1000 lots, fronting on the Mer-
rick road and the Great SouthBaH

by a division Of the Long Island Railroad,
and all Of them will be benefited by the
reconstruction Of that road. On the COM
pletion Of the unnel terminal in Manhattan
electric through trains will be run to that
station from all parts Of Long Island. At
present electric trains are In operation from
the Brooklyn station to Jamaica, a distance
Of eleven miles, which is made in eighteen
minutes. Electric trains to Far Rockaway,
on the south shore, were recently put in
service, and it Is expected that electric
power will shortly be in use as far as Port
Washington on the north shore.
The MANA cement Of the Long Island
has adopted the policy of building up the
suburban passenger traffic Of its road as
quickly as possible. and is giving as good
n service as is possible while waiting for
the completion Of the tunnel to Manhattan.
The improvement In service extends to the
steamboat lines that stop at the principal
north shore and east end villages. The
management is. Furthermore, conducting
a campaign Of education by issuing pam
phlets pointing out the possibilities OF
development of the various parts OF the
island as resident suburbs, summer re-
sorts, manufacturing centres or farming
communities.
Agriculture is encouraged in Suffolk
county, which for the most part lies be-
yond committing distance, An expert
mental farm has been established by the
railroad at Wading River.
Part of the farm is scrub oak land that
has been cleared n sown with various
crops to demonstrate it's usefulness for
agriculture. There are about 200 900 acres
of scrub oak on Long Island which one
year ago was worth from IS to $40 an acre;
it is now selling at S25 to $50 an acre. Specu-
lation in scrub oak acreage has consequently
developed in the n~eighbornood Of Wading
River and elsewhere.
According to statistics published by the
railroad, nearly 4, 1000 dwellings were erected
on Long Island last year outside the old city
OF Brooklyn, Long Island City n East
New York. About one-half were erected
beyond the New York city line. In Free
port 800 new houses were built; in Amity-
Vile 80, in Babylon 20, in Hampstead IS,
in Lynbrook 10, In Oyster Bay IS, in Patch
ogue 81. The number erected in Flushing was
800, in Richmond Hill 25O and in Corona
500. There were also erected on Long Island
2Ol store buildings and IS factories.

opment has been on the south shore Of Long

LONG ISLANDS GREAT BOOM.
BUYING AND BUILDING ON AN
UNPRECEDENTED SCALE.

Owing 10 improved Transportation the
Area Outside the City Line Is Growing
IN Favor as q Place OF All e as
Well as Of Midsummer Residence.
That part of Long Island which lies out
side New York city IL comprised in Nassau
and Suffolk counties. The city line is a
purely political boundary, corresponding
with no marked Typographical division.
In the opinion OF the trainers Of the Greater
New York Charter it Represented the limit
OF suburban travel. But with the present
improved means Of transportation there
h no reason Why the whole OF Nassau county
should not be included in the city.
There il every indication that the vest
/, ersy end OF bong Island will eventually be
the great manufacturing centre OF New
York. With this prospect in view the city
line should have been established with
reference, not to the mercantile centre of
Manhattan, but to the spreading Industrial
centre in Queens and Brooklyn.
To-day IL seems a mistake that Nassau
county was moi added to New York. Its
physical characteristics are the same as
those Of the neighboring section Of Queens,
and it's development is similar in character
TO that OF the adjacent borough. Most of
the suburban activity on Long Island just
now is in the vicinity Of the city line. For
this reason it will be convenient to include
q mention OF some Of the Queens suburbs,
although the present article will deal chiefly
with that part of Long Island which lies
outside the city. r.. ..."T.
The more strongly marked Typographical
features Of the island extend along its
length from west to east. The north shore,
along the Sound, Is billy, wooded, and
indented with picturesque harbors and
excellent anchorages, The south shore,
along the Atlantic, is partly sea beach and
partly salt meadow, bordering a maze of
shallow, landlocked waters. Between the
north and south shores Ia a plateau, trav-
ersed by valleys containing a multitude OF
o call lax n streams.
Each Of these principal BectiOus observed
