will grow at q more rapid rate during the
next few years than any other city In the
United States.
In creating the Greater Pittsh,Irg no
attempt was made TO take IN a great area OF
territory, as wns the case with Greater
Philadelphia, Greater New York and Greater
Chicago. Only the city of Allegheny was
annexed.
There are still in Alleghany county, in
which PIttsburg IL situated, and all within
ten miles OF the city limits, the following
municipalities; Mckeesport, population 81
600, Braddock. population II 500; Home
stead, population $4,000, and Williamsburg,
population 5000. The last borough adj
joins PittsburR n If really a part OF 1t,
except that it has its distinct existence.
There are also many other smaller towns
within the ten mile INIT with a total popu-
lation Of more than 100 900, which means that
the tota number of people in Pittsburg
and within ten miles OF its boundaries rs
about $50, 900, which would rank the city
fourth in size in the country, with only New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia in front Of
it. Some day these districts will be taken
in.
Allegheny was a peculiar city in many
respects. Although il had a population of
$40, 1000, ii had neither a daily newspaper
O a theatre. Some years ago a theatrical
manager opened a theatre there, but it was
very short lived, the people preferring to
come to this side Of the river.
On the other hand. the Pittsburg baseball
club has always played its games in Al
legheny. Thus it can be seen how closely
the two cities were linked together.
