PLAN TO EXTEND MANHATTAN.
Bill Provides for Construction OF Strip Con-
Meeting with Governors Island

Albert f. Henschel is going to Albany within a
week to promote the county Court House bill
drafted by him. which provides for the erection OF
a new building fronting on city Han Park. on the
site of the present Stewart Building While there
he will work in the interest Of another bill to pro-
vide for commission Investigate the possibility
OF extending Manhattan Island to include Gov
ernor's Island.
The proposed extension was planned by Herman
A. Ruge, a civil engineer employed in the Dock
Department of the city of New York. and the bin
provides for the appointment Of a commission TO
inquire into the expediency of the plan. 1t was
Mr. Ruge's suggestion, conveyed TO the War De
partment by Mr. Henschel. that resulted in the
present work of extending Governors Island
In speaking of the matter Mr. Henschel said
that the waterfront gained would be more than
four and half miles in length, all of it near deep
water. where the piers could be far extended
that dozen Lusitanias even larger vessels
might be locked AT them.
In a paper addressed to the Municipal Engineers
OF the city OF New York explaining the project
Mr.. Ruge says:
The length of the extension would be about two
miles and the width half mile. The total area OF
land, including Governors Island. would be about
522 acres new South Ferry would be located
one and a half miles further south. the elevated
railroads passing around the South Ferry
Two new bridges would be constructed TO connect
New York with Long Island and New Jersey
Mr. Ruge estimates that the city would profit TO
the extent of Sls4S70O00 a result of the ex-
tension tho value of docks and water frontage
amounting to s2l 600 and the total cost of the
work TO $26450 COO. This latter estimate does not
include compensation to the United States govern
ment for Governors Island.

But your legs is only boys

yield and $10,SS0 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
OF two years, was the record estab-
Hshed by James Bailey, a well-known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
MIR. Bailey bought the $40 acres of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had GOO
acres Of wheat and 40 acres Of
oats. The wheat yielded 1885 bush.

bought the land at $18 an acre, and
the other day refused an offer of S35

the figures of the case: Land first
cost, $40 acres, at SIS, $11,32O. Wheat
yielded 1885 bushels, at "a cents a
bushel, s16,695. Oats yielded 1850
bushels, at % cents a bushel, $685.

$10,S80. Total earnings of crop, ST.
$50, together with increase in value OF
land, total of $28,54O.
It is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1912 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The
figures are a fair indication of the av-
erage throughout the district.
