FROM CITY LINE TO M0NTAUK POINT
Many Realty Opportunities in the Central Section and the North
and South Shore Divisions of Long Island.
ENTIRE REGION LINKED TO MANHATTAN BY RIVER TUBES

Long Island has been appropriately
called the great pleasure ground OF New
York. II is more than that. 1t is not only
one of the leading recreation grounds IN
the summer months for toiers Of the city
and for many residents in other sections OF
this country. but its westerly districts
form one of the largest and most important
suburbs Of the greater city.
With the opening of the Long Island and
Pennsylvania river tubes last fall the
water barriers between the island and the
heart of old New York were removed for
all time.
Moreover, the entire island was placed
on a direct all-rail route with old Man
haitian.
Not only is the district permanently
united 10 Manhattan Island by great
tunnels. but linked TO II by a series OF
bridges. including the Brooklyn the Man
haitian. the Williamsburg and the Queens
boro. In a few years there will be another
bridge. the New York Connecting Railway,
from a point near Astoria. over Ward
and Randalls islands TO Port Morris. The
Bronx.
Several important ferries have been put
In operation in recent years between the
north shore OF the island and the Sound
shore Of Westchester. Most OF those fer
ries were designed especially for the use
Of autoists.

East Of City Line.

One OF the most beautiful and pictur-
esque sections of Ions Island comprises
the counties Of Nassau and Suffolk.
IN that beautiful region there are vast
stretches Of land fronting on the waters OF
Long Island Sound, bays or the Atlantic
Ocean; many thousand acres OF rolling
fertile fields an attractive lake district,
a number Of prosperous and inviting VII
lagos and towns located where pine trees
are numerous. and many big and small set
Elements with modern public utilities, in
GLIDING a never failing supply of pure
drinking water. electric or gas light. street
cleaning and sprinkling systems, and et-
fcient guardians Of the peace.
From the City Hall. Manhattan, to the
Nassau County line is a distance of four
teen miles AS Long Island is l23 miles
long. It is therefore about lOs miles from
the westerly line Of Nassau County 10
Montauk Point. The width of this section
varies. In the central division from the
southerly 10 the northerly shore is DIST
ance Of about twenty-five miles; in some
other parts it is about fifteen miles or a
little more This section has shore line
Of over 400 miles.
Naturally there ought to be in delight
full and thriving residential section of this
length and width almost innumeraole
realty opportunities. And there are. Be
sides. it is one Of the best speculative and
investment territories joined by the bonds
Of steel TO old New York.
Months before the first tunnel train from
Manhattan 10 Long Island was run last
December. it was predicted that Long
Island was destined 10 be the scenes of
stupendous realty trading in 1911. This
prophesy has already been fulfilled. as the
westerly division of the island has fur
nished so far this year the majority OF
important lot and acreage transactions In
the suburban bailiwicks of the greater
city, and the easterly division the most
noteworthy speculative and investment
buying reported in many years.
II only one-tenth of the land at Montauk
which has changed hands In the last six
months is utilized for the creation there in
the next FIVE years of a place with piers
ana warehouses suitable for the largest
ocean greyhounds and coastwise freighters,
Montauk will be a big ocean town.
Undoubtedly the character OF the Mon
tauk realty transactions and large numbers
of land purchases elsewhere in Suffolk and
Nassau counties reflects the perfection of
plans by syndicates for Transforming the
great deep water bays at the easterly end
OF the island into safe and splendid an
chorages for the largest ocean vessels and
for laying we'll the foundation for the build
ing Of big industrial colonies east Of the
Nassau County line TO the most easterly
limit of the island.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-05-21
To Have Industrial Strength.

Henceforth the easterly division of the
island is not only 10 be noted for its many
exclusive home towns, with commanding
views of the ocean, for Its big and
modern summer hotels. for its charms to
lovers of aquatic sports. for its miles Of
well kept roads inviting to autoists. for its
quaint and beautiful historic settlements,
and for it's great oyster industries, but also
for it's factory centres.
These proposed ocean towns, with big
pier facilities and warehouses. and strong
industrial areas, are not going 70 hurt the
myrlads of charms which have been re-
yealed each year in the summer months 70
many thousands of persons who are city
jewellers and workers.
The carrying out of these projects will
benefit every part of this division Of Long
Island. Values will be largely enhanced
by such construction work. because il viii
bring 10 this part Of the island just the
necessary building outlines II needs TO
make the foundation on which its realty
greatness rests absolutely flawess.
