which they lived. 1t Is only within the |
last two or three decades that the old
buildings lost position. This may be ex-
planned by "A retrospcction of the changes
that have come in that district in the
past thirty years. 1t is at the edge of
one of the greatest business districts.
In the stress of business that usually
surrounds such section attention Is
given over to the matter at hand. which

loan, the harvesting Of the great wheat
area Of the West or the promoting of

vessels Of less than fifty tons burden,
by an ordinances of Peter Stuyvesant,

point and a guard rail built out from
