Now It happened that there were
many mothers with babies in their arms
when Gustav pulled the cord. Mothers
and babies alike got a terrible 1ounc-

hand on the little red cord handle and
they arose with one accord and descend

ALL DUE TO A NATURAL DE.
vElOPMENT.

This Is to be brought about not by
any single effort or expenditure ipon
the part OF Brooklyn. 1t is not a new
concession which Brooklyn IL buying.
II Is the result OF metropolitan growth
and natural development. Tho time mas
come when Brooklyn Is the Logical
the only-section where the metropolitan
masses can be properly housed. The
entire greater city Is paying for It.
New iork's people have been pent up
Tor decades. The time for a gigantic
overflow Is long past due. For the we.-
fare OF the entire metropolis tho tax
payers have been forced to provide
adequate transit means for this over
dow. In formulating their vast plans
they have been obliged to make Brook
lyn the great middle ground for the
future home occupation.
Such are the facts. Hundreds of
millions OF dollars are moving already
to accomplish the tremendous trans
formation. New transit works alone
will call for close to 100000. 600.
During the three or four years that viii.
cover. the period os construction. pri-
vate builders will put a fair average
OF $200.000.000 u year into their opera
tons. IL Is safe to say that rapid
transit works and constructional prof.
ects to discount Il will involve fully
100000 1000 before the new system
Is in operation. Then who can tell how
many more billions will be invested In
the same territory during the years
Immediately following after the public

The evening world., 1912-07-27

Every great outward wave Of metro
politan expansion carries riches to the
masses Of suburban home owners. We
are at the start Of another movement
which promises to be the most far
reaching in the history of New York.
because 1t Is based upon the most pre-
tentious scheme yet devised for spread
Ing the home masses by means Of rapid
transit
Much in the way of evolution and
realty enhancement Is contained In the
dual system of transit-much for many
parts OF the greater city-but for
Brooklyn especially II means the OPEN
Ing OF new era. While the Bronx.
Queens and Richmond are to get i'm
provcments that will lead them to hand
some development. the central idea of
the scheme is no more nor less than a
radical transferrence OF population from
