The City of New Jersey" on the
west bank of the Hudson River, COM
bining the present cities of Newark,
Jersey City, Hoboken and contiguous
towns, as a part of the worlds me-
tropolis of the port of New York.
formed the principal theme of discus
sion last night at the eighth annual
banquet of the Clinton Hill Inn -ove-
ment Association, held in Krueger's
Auditorium. Calvin Tomkins was the
principal speaker.
Mr.. Tomkins said that shortly the
meadow lands would be filled In ami
more factories would be built. dividing
the northern part of Jersey into two
great divisions-the lowlands for manu-
featuring, the highlands for residences.
When that time came, he said, the
greatest metropolis of the world would
be around the port of New York. IL
would be composed of three groups.
Manhattan Island, Long Island cities
and New Jersey cities. The greatest
growth would be in New Jersey, he pre-
dicted, and a federation Of all the cities
in the northern section of the State
was highly desirable. the idea being 20
join all the cities after the plan of the
five boroughs in New York.
