A statistical compilation on the future
growth Of New York In population, based
on past record Of growth. makes the in
teresting assertion that Manhattan borough
win reach its maximum growth between
the years OF 1870 and 1880. with a total OF
100000 people. From 1890 on the populs-
ton will decrease, because business houses
will steadily crowd out the residential
quarters, a process of elimination quite
marked at present. What Manhattan island
will lose other boroughs of the greater
city principally Brooklyn-will absorb.
The statistlcian. a consulting engineer,
carries his estimates to 1850. basing them
on the accurate figures furnished by the
government. Thus he estimates that in
1910 the population Of the entire city will
be $4,000. This increases by decades to
7.oooyoOO in 1890. 10 $4,000 in 1890. to 1900
900 In 1910, and to the enormous population
of 10. 10000 in 1850. In this latter year he
estimates that Manhattan will have a
total population Of 100000, Brooklyn of
1000. 900. Bronx of 100000. Queens Of $780,
600. and Richmond OF 10000

that the first word from the fleet came
from an amateur who had rugged up a mast
