A new problem is interesting the Stats
ticians, who take pleasure in figuring on
the growth of New York in population
That is, the question Of how the city will
be affected by the transportation and
terminal movements resulting from the
expenditure of hundreds of millions OF dol
lars now being made by the railroads en-
tering the city. While this will develop
the metropolitan area as a whole so that
the statisticians predict that New York
will pass London as the Worlds metropo-
lis by 1920, the fact that the greatest OF
these improvements will facilitate transit
| to New Jersey, is likely to deprive the city
/ proper of tens of thousands Of its inhab-
| itants, who will be lost to II so far as the

Of New Jersey, which will thus be brought
into close and direct touch with the me-
tropolis. A writer in the New York Sur
predicts that this exodus to the Garden
State will be the greatest movement OF It's
kind that has ever occurred. OF course
New York's loss will be New Jerseys gain
