expressed this morning. 1t is said
that the rainfall was not heavy

settling of the dust and the cooling
OF the atmosphere. However, agri-

ENLARGING MANHATTAN

EEW cities have been so favored by fortune IN ply
steal surroundings as New York Its magnifi-
cent harbor, its two waterways which bound Man
haitian Island and MS location at the mouth OF the
great river whose valley is natural trade route
all these have combined TO make 1t the industrial
commercial and financial capital OF the nation, and
perhaps Of the world But the New Workers are
not satisfied. They think their fortunate isle too
small for them.
Engineers have been working out details OF a
plan for making Manhattan Island six miles longer
and adding u miles TO its dock line and six square
miles to its area They would build land down the
bay more than half way to Coney. and create a
model city, from the business point OF view, around
which would a six track belt line and the streets
and structures of which would be planned Tor maxi
mum efficiency.
Among the various advantages claimed for the
scheme would be a great saving in transportation
costs as a result OF the belt line with connections
on every wharf and facilities for expedng the hand
ling OF goods. 1t now costs from 81 to $3.50 ton
to handle freight in the New York terminal. Those
back of the scheme believe that costs could easily be
cut in half. They point out. too that the rail dis
tance and costs from Philadelphia and the South %
New York and New England point, wouN be rcduc-
ed.
This development must necessarily be matter
OF many years, if it is ever attempted But there Is
something fascinating about the idea OF making over
the face OF the world to serve the ends OF commerce
a brand new city, built on brand land LAID
out and constructed scientifically. would be worth
studying.
