100000 Persons to Line
in Queens Borough in 1910
1t Will Then Equal, if 1t Does Not Exceed Brooklyn
in Populaton--That Is the Prediction Made
Last Night at Dinner of Municipal
Club of Brooklyn by Walter
Willis.

tho above prediction as TO the great in
crease in the population of Queens.
He also stated: THE great develop
mont Of Brooklyn during The last
thirty years has been due to the transit
facilities connecting II with Manhattan
and the commerci al development within
IT'S own borders With three bridge
across the East River and the tunnel
from the Battery. the population
poured into Brooklyn. Just as the
opening Of the Brooklyn Bridge in
1888 marked new epoch in the de-
velopment OF Brooklyn. so did the
opening OF the Greensboro Bridge IN
1903 mark a new epoch for the future
dovelopment of Queens Borough. WIN
the rapid transit lines that are now
abou. 20 connect Manhattan with
Queens. the latter borough Viii be
placed on an equal footing with BROOK
Ign.
"Considcring that Queens Will nave
equal transit facilities. and that u IS
nearest 70 the all-day business centre
Of Manhattan. and that It has an area
Of forty square miles more than BrooA-
lvn. il is fair TO estimate that me
growth Of Queens during the next hve
Years will be greater than that Of any
other section OF New York City.
Moreover. Brooklyn and Queens are
the only two boroughs Of New orr
CIV that are contiguous no body o.
water separating them as is the case
with every other borough. With their
combined area. population and com
mcrce. they would make one Of the
l. nf4 world. O-ld ,
they represent 50 per cen; Of the area
and II per cent OF the ropul alton o;
the entire city. With the improve,
ment OF connecting highways and
inter-transit between the boroughs,
thew will become an ever increasing
mower for the civic and commercial de-
velopment OF New York City

The prediction was made by Walter
7. Willis. secretary of the Chamber 81
Commerce Of the Borough Of Queens,
in an address before members Of the
Municipal Club. Of Brooklyn. al their
annual dinner held last night, that IN
twenty-five years the Borough Of
Queen would not only equal bu: pos
sibly exceed IN" population of Frook-
Ign. Mr. Willis based this prediction
on tho growth o. New York City from
It's present population Of 5.so0,000 IN
1918 20 l2000.000 By 1910. Of which
Brooklyn and Queens combined Will
have ~.000000 or - per cent OF thc
population Of the entire city; and
further. that OF this 100000 both
Brooklyn and Queens will each have q
population Of l.000.000 lnasmuch o.
tho area Of Brooklyn is 1850 acres
and that OF Queens 75.ill acres. this
would give a population Of so 20 the
acre i'm Brooklyn as against 80 20 the
acre in Queens in 1880.

GREENHUT SALE OPPOSED.
Counsel for second Mortgage
BOudhOldcrs Voices Objections.

Herbert r. Limburg, representing as
counsel the holders OF s2j3,00O in Sec
und mortgage bonds of j. Il. Greenhut
& Co, argued for "A considerable part
OF three hours yesterday against the
terms OF the decree of sale which had
been approved by all other bond hold
ing creditors and by the great majority
of merchandise creditors. Mr.. Limburg
maintained that the scheme OF sale pro-
posed by all others except himself would
frighten away bidders for the real es-
tate. and IT. Is to the equity in the real
estate, after first mortgages have been
paid, that Mr.. Limburg's clients must
look for the satisfaction of their claims.
Opposing counsel declared that out OF
nearly 1900 creditors only nine objected
TO the decree of sale as presented.
After three hours OF discussion II was
agreed that Mr. Limburg and James y.
Rosenberg. counsel for the receivers.
should try to effect "A compromise de-
cree. They will meet with the other at
torneys at . 80 this morning for a final
review Of the scheme under which the
Greenhut properties will be sold and, il
Is hoped, IA reorganization effected.
