HOW NEW YORK HAS GROWN.
The Metropolis Absorbed Villages as
Old as Itself In 1898.

A metropolis grows up in two ways
At first it expands legitimately. adding
furlong to furlong Of growth. Then it
leaps forward and seizes large area
overnight by act of legislature or par
lament. sweeping into its net score
Of villages and settlements. Then 1t
proceeds to consolidate its position by
filing up the intervening spaces. In
European cities they have an inner
ring. which is the old city, and an
outer ring. which may be anything
New York. Chicago. Boston. Seattle.
have their inner rings, which are the
legitimate city. and the outer ring,
which came by the get-big-quick meth
cd. New York succumbed to the pro.
moter's fever in 1898 In that year the
city absorbed large areas of virgin soil
and a chain of independent villages.
some Of them nearly as old as Man
haitian itself. From the sound to the
Atlantic they stretch across the back.
bone of Long Island and the lower
harbor to Staten Island. where the 10.
cal tradition in spite of municipal fer
ries and promised tunnels has remained
al its strongest
Such frenzied expansion Is the reason
why the traveller in the nearer suburbs
of great city will often come across
city line which is no longer the city
line AS you near the old city line
