DISTANCES on MANHATTAN ISLAND
The average person living on Manhattan Island
dom 1akes into consideration the distances COW
cred each day and from work. or 10 and from
his home when on pleasure bent The truth Is that
few persons know that it is sixteen miles from
the BATTERY TO the northeasterly limits of the city
and about mile less 10 the northwesterly
limit But when the average horneseeker begins TO
study real estate conditions IN New Jersey, he

venences IN order live IN this city. and in most
cases paying dearly for that privilege. All the
while he has tried TO live conteutedy in q small

Manhattan Railroad Gompany's tunnel projects,

sey suburban fields Newark and Jersey City have
fizurarively become a great part of this city. 81
though the state and water barriers viii probably

away from the Battery. and within the last few
Years scores of persons, owing 10 The improved
traffic facilities on Manhattan Island and The
Bronx, have moved = considerable distance north
of the most northeriy district Of the city, be-
cause the district could he easily reached from all
